Planetology

Introducing a stockpile into a void creates a closed system. Where there was nothing now stands a set of entities, possibly simple or symbiotic that can survive from that resource and others use of that resource.

Depending on the complexity of the stockpile different simple forms of life can procreate. These allow for a large potential of tertiary organisms to inhabit the void. The void is a closed system through its own interactions but, there aren’t outer walls. The boundary created by the void of needed nutrients is permeable.

A system that takes advantage of a void in this manner requires a sort of input; a stockpile that won’t be depleted. Another manner of creation would be a beginning organism that created a void around itself. By consuming around itself it is no longer static. It goes from a limited and known object into a system that could be healthy. It has the potential to develop, and as long as long as there is little excess or squander we can consider it a healthy system.

As the initial organism develops an increased amount of tertiary systems the permeable membrane becomes important. Systems can come and go which means that energy in the void fluctuates, for either better or worse. That allows for the initial organism to become more complex and make use of other nutrients.

The earth is in constant reconstruction. Organisms constantly collect and stockpile resources. Naturally waves, wind, even the moving earth are all effects that are prone to organize and move resources. Almost every action has an effect of stockpiling. By this definition all actions can be looked at as an organism. Biologically by consuming, certain elements are kept while others are condensed and discarded. This action is a form of grouping, redistribution.

There are many types of energies; kinetic, potential, chemical, and biological. These energies can be stored in a variety of different ways. Often in our lives we look for ways to compress, for efficient storing. This is a static form of storage, a simple stockpile. The effect of creating stockpiles also implies there to be a void left behind. This void, free space prompts a larger architectural question as to what is to fill in the void. Dispersed storage allows for a different type of interaction. The system for storing energy is permeable, able to be used by multiple parties.

Efficiencies for each type of consideration must be taken into account. Loss of energy as it changes forms and spreads to a different system. Sometimes reversible but also can be non-reversible. Is the storage system accumulating or decreasing? Is there a demand for the item in storage and how fast can it be consumed. A combustibility of sorts.

“excess and squander doesn’t begin until growth slows or stops.”

Sandwich

Every species is in a state of constant evolution. Humans are an interesting species as we evolve not just physically but also technologically. We live in symbiosis with countless other species and cells yet we have never tried to communicate through them. A New language could be established through architecture. The bottom bread spends his whole life holding up the sandwich but imagine if it knew there was a similar organism on the top holding the rest down. Architecture, as a membrane between organisms. The bacon membrane takes in the activity of the bread and passes on signals that tomatoes can understand. Two separate organisms each with specific tastes for your tongue working together to create the perfect lunch experience.

With multiple layers of bacon this could be spread out to multiple organisms. Would organisms slowly develop more complex languages? Understand what was happening on the other layer and adapt in new ways to benefit both organisms. Use architecture to benefit other organisms in ways never attempted before. Maybe the key to promoting technology is helping another species to grow and evolve.
