Informing the search for extra-terrestrial life by considering implied goals in service to habitability.
Would driving a complex system with a trivially infinite/OE-adjacent process yield interesting intrinsic evo or OE?
Would self-organisation arise at certain points in a forcing trajectory (and how might this affect persistence), informing thinking about origins of life.
Building abstract understanding of planetary boundaries (e.g.Richardson et al. 2023), and exoplanetary habitability with biogenic feedback.
