       "Methanopyrus kandleri (strain 116) survives at 122°C under 200 MPa pressure. Geogemma barossii (strain 121) at 121°C. This is the thermal denaturation limit — proteins unfold, membranes lose integrity, ATP hydrolyzes at 1/τ where τ < repair rate. The covalent bonds themselves are fine but hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic cores fail above this. This is the universe's upper thermal bound for aqueous carbon chemistry.",

       "Shewanella, Colwellia, Moritella divide at >100 MPa in Mariana Trench. Spores survive diamond anvil cell compression to 1-2 GPa. The limit is membrane phase transition — lipid bilayers gel at high pressure. The universe's pressure ceiling for active metabolism.",
       "Lipid bilayer phase transition pressure + protein volume change (ΔV) effects. At ~200 MPa: T_m of membranes shifts +20-40°C, effectively freezing them.")

       "Xeromyces bisporus grows at a_w = 0.61. NaCl-saturated brine supports Halobacterium (a_w ≈ 0.75). MgCl₂/CaCl₂ brines at Don Juan Pond (a_w ≈ 0.3-0.4) — no active life, only dormant spores. The bound is set by the water activity where the cellular cytoplasm can maintain osmotic balance while still having enough free water for enzymatic reactions. This is the universe's desiccation limit.",

       "D. radiodurans survives 5,000 Gy of gamma radiation (200-300 double-strand breaks per chromosome) by reassembling its genome from fragments. The limit is set by DNA repair machinery capacity — if the number of breaks exceeds the cell's ability to find homologous templates, the genome cannot be reconstituted. This is the universe's information integrity limit for self-replicating systems under radiation damage.",

       "Picrophilus thrives in 0.7M sulfuric acid (pH ≈ 0); alkaliphiles maintain internal pH 8-9 while external pH > 12. The limits are set by the proton gradient across the membrane — beyond ~5-6 pH units across a ~6 nm membrane, the electric field exceeds dielectric breakdown of the lipid bilayer (~0.5-1 V/6nm ≈ 10⁸ V/m). The universe's electrochemical potential bound for chemiosmotic coupling.",
       "Membrane dielectric breakdown threshold: ΔΨ + ΔpH across 6nm lipid bilayer cannot exceed ~300 mV for the protonmotive force to remain stable.")

       "Viable bacteria extracted from Permian salt crystals (250 Ma). Spores from Dominican amber (25-40 Ma). The limit is DNA depurination — at burial temperatures, spontaneous hydrolysis destroys genomic information on million-year timescales. Cold storage (ice/permafrost) extends this. The universe's information storage lifetime for self-replicating systems.",

       "Perchlorate salts are chaotropes — they disrupt the hydrogen bond network of water and destabilize proteins and membranes. Above ~2.5 M Mg(ClO₄)₂ or NaClO₄, even halophilic enzymes denature. This is the solvent chemistry bound — when the solvent itself ceases to function as water.",
