That turns out to be the solution that nature has come up with, so while it might be possible to do an end-run around this constraint somehow and keep a dynamic system running forever, I'll give long odds against.

- lisper 3y agoAll "live systems" in nature (i.e. living things) eventually die. Life goes on not by creating things that live forever, but by reproducing, i.e. regularly rebooting from a previously vetted simpler state. And this happens at all levels of abstraction. At higher levels it's not called "death" but "extinction" but it amounts to the same thing -- the wholesale destruction of previously accumulated state.
