If E (time for intellectual evolution) = T (time to test) A (size of assembly pool)! Wouldn’t a larger assembly pool increase time for intellectual evolution? You seem to be arguing that a larger assembly pool is good which I agree with but the equation doesn’t reflect that. It seems to be a little more complex. Maybe evolution of ideas does not have to occur after exploring every permutation of idea combination but can occur at any step in process and is more likely to occur if assembly pool is larger in scope and scale. So eqn looks more like: E=T/P(A) Where P(A) is the probability of finding coming up with beneficial idea and increases with A. Could be something like log(A). So E=T/(log(A)) Less elegant but lmk what you think.
