Why Reuse Design?

But what we don't see yet is the consequences of trying to perfect our designs. Wait a minute, yes we do! Technology advancement is reducing the number of people it needs to operate companies. High unemployment rates is skyrocketing. Perfection in the long run does not insure the survival of species over a long period of time. Short term success is what perfection offers. Nature has experience on its side and history is its tract record of long periods of stability.Humans do not care about the future because they are going to die anyway. Comparing perfection to creation is ridiculous. The only ones believing that life should come from a perfect being with perfect creation skills is religious people or people that use that belief against them.

The rule is to reduce energy flow. It appears that there are limitations of energy distribution in all forms of life. Most life forms have a unique trait that requires a higher amount of energy to utilize it. For example, the human brain is expensive to run, the same is true for a cheetah that can run at high speeds to catch its prey, the eagle that has excellent vision and can see its prey from a long distance in detail, and on and on. No one species "has it all" in high energy features.By re use in designs or altering it is much cheaper than building from scratch. We follow this same logic in manufacturing. If there are new features that are viewed as started from scratch I would think that there was no other alternative.The fact that creatures appear to built just good enough not perfect indicates to me an energy limitation is in place. In insects it is the complete opposite in that some of them appear to be overly engineered perhaps because of their small size.Edited by barbara, : No reason given.

Because it was not a "God" especially from the space in the universe and it does not exist. The first replicator (Life's self assembly kit) origin unknown still complies to a degree with energy costs. It has no choice the primary source of energy (the sun) and the food energy that is consumed cannot support a super organism equipped with so many features that require more energy, it is impossible to accomplish this on this planet.
