 Been actually brainstorming similar ideas - what is the difference between simple/axiomatic systems, or otherwise known as machines and Complex systems?. Complicated systems are fundamentally simple systems, but their own rules end up bumping up against each other. An LLM fundamentally based on Boolean logic, or instruction architecture scaling exponentially in FLOPS and energy use as the model gets more advanced, still a countable growth rate. A Complex System, being born, embedded and embodied within a coevolved ecosystem across millenia - the growth rate of interactions is almost like tetration, or some high order hyperoperator, maybe even approximating unaccountably many interactions.

Some nostr brainstorming here.
