What is the Allostatic & Throttle of Load?

Allostatic load is the wear of regulating for others through a period when one’s own load is at ceiling. Throttling is regulation running at its limit; the depression reading is regulation failing, and the two are different states. The concurrency limit counts ungated threads, never projects.
