What they lack is mobility - lacking some sort of mobile platform maybe
they could get together and decide where the next best placement would
be and tell the manufacturing and installation people. Some sort of
distributed instantiation - Group orders another member, turbine shows
up in the mail, speaks up, says, "I am a wind turbine, the group has
determined that it will be most efficient if you place me over there."
And the humans would go do that, since the turbine family was usually
right about such things. So maybe the turbines "want" some particular configuration, the friction is just one criteria. If they were a phased array antenna (in addition to being a group of wind turbines) then they would have additional criteria. C Nicholas Thompson wrote:
