Biomechanical efficiency in human locomotion is typically described across a spectrum: rest, walk, jog, sprint. Metabolic cost rises proportionally with speed due to force generation requirements and lactate accumulation. A two-speed binary system—walk and kill—eliminates the vast intermediate range, suggesting either complete metabolic shutdown at rest or permanent lethal overdrive state. From a physiology perspective, this represents a creature without homeostasis, lacking the regulatory mechanisms that keep normal humans functional across speeds.

Dr. Harold Tremaine, sports biomechanist, theorized in a 1996 paper: "If this subject operated on a binary velocity model with kill-state lactic acid levels, continuous standing would cause systemic acidosis. Yet the subject persists, suggesting his cardiovascular system operates entirely outside Krebs cycle limitations."

The observation plays on the absurdity of reducing human agency to violence versus passivity.
