*Thing One:* Having read the book *Complexity* recently (I know -- late to the game) I wondered if Chris Langton's Edge of Chaos, Lambda point arguing a point at which life began/begins, could have a similar counter point at which life ends -- and if so, has that been modeled somehow? Meaning, has that scientific evaluation been put out there in such a way it could help formulate the context where we might cause all life to end?
(by the way, hi, I am Peggy Miller, new to the group, like reading your different questions and ideas, had a couple that might not be pertinent, but figured I would fling them out to you ... I am a writer, and include scientific concepts in my novels, and am worried about global warming, population levels, and general global depletion of resources; live in Missoula, Montana.) *Thing Two: * ** reading *A New Kind of Science,* I wondered whether since pi is an approximate, 3.1416, then does that mean a circle is never perfect?
