This intelligence is not merely a metaphorical flourish but a literal economy of design, optimized over evolutionary time to ensure that oxygen, nutrients, and signals reach their intended destinations with maximal efficiency and minimal waste. The human cardiovascular system, the neural network of the brain, the arborization of bronchioles in the lungs, and even the peripheral nerves extending into the extremities are all manifestations of this principle: a system-wide intelligence that balances constraints of energy, distance, and redundancy to ensure survival. \n", "\n", "```{raw} html\n", "\n", "\n", "
He Does it Again. If we can send AIs to visit other planets and perhaps galaxies, surely aliens coud do the same and visit us. Thus UFOs are not that much of a stretch, especially in a nuclear world -- aliens have recognized the \"arrival\" of another intelligence that has learned to harness the energy of the stars. We must overcome biological imperatives: status, tribe, etc. It's clear that AI is one such approach. Matrix.
