This article reminded me of the “beams” that held the universe together in Stephen Kings Dark Tower series of books.

That being said, we have a pretty complete fossil record for at least the last planetary extinction in which Earth still remained suitable for life. Obviously I have a somewhat personal opinion about being a part of the next one.

So I guess this graph more so defines ideal markers of homeostasis as I have faith that this particular planet will continue to support life after us.
