Moore's law, as formulated, is always ending it seems. There's a higher level formulation that has no name (as far as I know) that goes something like this[fn]: - The rate of change of the decreasing cost for a human society to perform an arithmetic operation is always increasing*. That formulation can be taken back to from scratching marks on papyrus, roman numerals, the abacus, the banks of navigational computer staff cranking out log and trig tables (and various results) in the 1600~1900s, the vacuum tube up to the transistor photolithed into a 2D matrix, and soon quantum, photonic and 3D matrices... [fn] That might be better stated by taking the inverse. I don't know. Need more coffee.
