For example, I love how the human brain consists of layers from different evolutionary phases (like the mammalian and reptilian brains), which reminds me of seeing remnants of teletype code in modern macOS.

    Basic data structures are so primitive as to be emergent. Obviously we see stacks of things and queues everyday, but how often do you look at a highway and see a circuit, or plumbing and see a DAG?

    Conway’s Law too! If you didn’t already know about it, you’ll see it everywhere now. I think it defines reality. A system cannot be designed that isn’t constrained by the communication ability of it’s creator. All art is the limit of what we can express.
