How about "large scale optimization processes over long periods of time tend to converge onto functional solutions that meet basic dimensionality requirements."
- M_Grey 10y agoI read these comments, and I just think how much good it would do someone like Dan Brown to spend an hour with people like you. sigh More broadly your collective point applies to larger megastructures like Matrioshka Brains (concentric Dyson Spheres). At some point maybe the convergence starts to look like an equation of state for some form of degenerate matter, arranged in very very thin concentric spheres.
