In the ocean, the deeper you go, the lower the energy level of fauna there. Weaker muscles, slower moving. 🤔 There’s a lesson there I can’t quite figure out.

Supporting evidence. Deep ocean life is time-wasting life. Because you don’t have energy to waste.

There's also: increased pressure, not enough sustenance for large animals, a lack of light, animals that depend on bits of food that sink from the upper ocean, animals that attract prey with light and hot-water vents from cracks in the ocean floor. Run with the analogy.

I read this as “make myself flatter”. In the Wolfram cellular automata days the most efficient use of energy to movement forward was to build a single cell tower that fell over.
