limitsoccurring

Limitsoccurring is a term used in theoretical discussions to describe the emergence of limiting behavior in a system as it encounters constraints, resources, and feedback. It is not tied to a single discipline but is used across mathematics, physics, computer science, economics, and ecology to indicate when a process becomes governed by a limit rather than by unconstrained dynamics.

The term is a neologism formed from "limits" and "occurring" and is intended to emphasize the processual onset of constraint-driven behavior. In practice, limitsoccurring is used to describe the regime in which a model or real-world system transitions from growth or motion to behavior dominated by an active limit, such as saturation, capacity, or a boundary condition.

Conceptually, limitsoccurring focuses on the mechanism and timing of a limit's appearance. It highlights how interactions among resources, feedback loops, and external boundaries cause a system to switch to a constrained regime, even as the underlying dynamics might otherwise continue toward greater values or complexity.

Examples commonly discussed include ecological growth near carrying capacity, computational algorithms approaching hardware or tolerance limits, and market dynamics that stall when capital or supply becomes a bottleneck. The term is used as a descriptive lens rather than as a formal operator, and it relates to related ideas such as limit points, saturation, and phase transitions.
