I have read the insulin analogy (I read it before first commenting here).
I don’t know if the insulin analogy is from the book itself or your interpretation. But it is flawed. For multiple reasons. I started to pick it apart line by line but then decided a better course of action would be to try pointing you in the right direction—so that you could do the research about the physiological system, learn about what you are trying to label and then consider whether it is a good path to be following.
Does it really make sense to apply economic labels to physiological systems?
That’s the sort of value I expect economic theory would provide in physiology.
Expect? Careful that you are not rationalising your beliefs.
