Function: backboneScore()

backboneScore(symbol, worldAbundance, kelvin?): number

Defined in: chem/biochemistry.ts:95

Score an element's suitability as a backbone on this world.

Stability decides whether chains persist at all; supply decides whether they can form. Both are necessary, so they multiply — a perfect backbone that is absent builds nothing, and an abundant one that hydrolyses builds nothing either.

Parameters

symbol

Backbone

worldAbundance

Record<string, number>

kelvin?

number = 288

Returns

number
