þolmörkum
þolmörkum is an Old Norse term that translates to "tolerance limits" or "endurance thresholds." It refers to the point at which something can no longer withstand a certain condition or pressure before breaking, failing, or changing. This concept can be applied to various contexts, including physical endurance, psychological resilience, and even the limits of materials or natural phenomena.
In a physical sense, þolmörkum might describe the limit of a person's strength before exhaustion sets in,
The concept also appears in discussions of environmental limits, such as the þolmörk of an ecosystem to
