Condition Engineering

Garlic's high sulfur content promotes the growth of clovers and retards grass as clover favors high sulfur soils while grasses do not.

Scenario:

Plant garlic around fruit trees. As the garlic scapes break off and decay they add sulfur to the soil enhancing the growth of clovers and stalls grasses. When the clovers periodically die they add nitrogen to the soil for the fruit trees which also remain unmolested by grasses.

The Condition Engineering:

Using the scenario above as a guide we could change the conditions in an overly grass dominated pasture to favor more clovers by building compost teas with a high sulfur content, spraying the field with it and broadcast clover seed.

Now, how do we apply condition engineering to keeping stupid shit out of bitcoin transactions?

Endophytes as Subroutines

Fungi that live in plants can actively determine under what conditions its host-plant can grow or thrive.

If we swap out the endophytes (fungal/bacterial) of a plant that grows in salty soils for the endophytes used by plants thriving in hot geothermal soils then that plant can no longer thrive in salty soils. But it can now grow in hot geothermal soils and vice versa for the other plant.

This, in my view, is more about epigenetics (the study of heritable traits, or a stable change of cell function, that happen without changes to the DNA sequence) than anything else.

Plants, animals and more are communities of genetically unrelated entities that forge a platform that is able to thrive for the benefit of all involved. Or, so it would seem. One thing is certain: The plant living in salty soil is able to do so not because of it's own genetics but because of it's interaction with a completely different genome.

This is all new information to me. And I’ve read lots.

Is there a book or sources you can recommend.

Thanks for your continued presence and work. Your a warrior 🫡

Bonus: garlic will keep rodents away, preventing them from chewing on the young fruit trees

Good one!
