if you start a company, for ex., you'll inevitably have to delegate critical work functions to collaborators; would you rather operate entirely on trust, or offset your risks with the ability to validate their outputs?
some would call this soulless, but it's merely due diligence
this applies to every single skill should one desire to be maximally competent, even in a single bounded domain; there is but one Skill, of which all others are but projections
learning just enough of everything to identify good work makes your BS meter antifragile

Everyone should learn a bit of modeling and simulation so that they can become appropriately skeptical of it

practicality aside, SFCs are fun toys to play with, simple algorithms to drop in anywhere you need a way to define a total ordering on an otherwise-unordered space
they're also quite pretty & a great doodling technique; I've filled many a notebook like so

while originally botanical in nature, these L-systems can be repurposed for general generative purposes, as the rules are quite flexible
this one here is a simple …

this sort of VG-SFC is capable of representing the logic by which a living organism focuses its exploitation on resource-rich subsets of the niche, the FD pegged to the resource density
interesting applications of this tool could be for urban planning or procedural generation
there are many different kinds of SFCs, but typically speaking they have a constant FD throughout, which is often inadequate for modeling real-world systems, which are variably self-similar
to this end we need a type of SFC w/ variable FD, or granularity
a space-filling curve (SFC) is a mathematical object defining a specific way of visiting ~every point in a space; typically fractals w/ a tunable variable called the fractal dimension (FD, or roughness/granularity) which determines the resolution w/ which the space is traversed
this is esp. apparent when the exploited resource is in 2D space; the patterns of outward fractal expansion, density varying w/ resource desirability
the topology of the emergent network can be predicted from a combination of terrain, resource distribution, starting position
all activities of living organisms can be partitioned into exploring or exploiting niches, as explored in the QT
particularly interesting is the structure of the exploit phase, where life acts as a space-filling curve with variable fractal dimension

please note that a collective's self-concept egregore is comprised of the sun of all members' beliefs regarding the collective
this means that you change social reality every time you explicitly discuss this; probably best to do so sparingly, or if you must, in private
