You discover a new lifeform. You observe a single individual. As a system, its inputs are carbon and oxygen, which it burns into CO2. While it performs this function, it also displays high-entropy behavior with no discernable purpose. It's homo sapiens

It may deepen, but it’s also solved.

Thus you understand all there is to understand about this bizarre life form. Then you realize the same would be true for you. You evaporate into a cloud of existential bemoanment

The hypothesis is tested using a model constrained with O2 & C (+ lot N & P) inputs, with output of CO2 and waste. The objective function is biomass. The model solution shows that the organism grew exponentially, then reaches a plateau due to resource depletion and dies slowly.

Or the organism adapts, develop communication, and common strategies to efficiently consume nutrients and goes on a second exponential. Then, adapt again and spreads in new geographical area. The organism then spreaded in the universe to pursue it's objective function: growth.

So the species as a whole is more efficient via interactions than without the interactions. Bi(non) linear relationships among individuals and the environment?
