Imagine the earth as distributed, massively parallel operating systems. Physical, chemical and biological conditions as $environment and available system calls. Seeds could be apps that can survive on certain hardware.

I learnt from a billion agave[1] project that in Chile where it touches 55 degree centigrade, they are the most resilient apps that thrive. In peak draughts, they're reviving techniques of fermenting the leaves as a fodder replacement. Tequila, I hear is mostly agave.

In native Karnataka, India they use the fibres for ropes, the tips as needles, the dehydrated leaves as roof tiles. A large suit manufacturer until recently would buy off local agave for very strong and lasting fabric. I learnt that a hammock weaved from the fibre would easily last 10 years in sun and rain.

Amazed to learn of the edible properties!
