Centralization of resources is more efficient in every measurable way.

But measurable efficiency does not always produce “desired” results… esp when what’s “desired” is unknown.

“shooting from the hip” to solve problems in a fluid problem space … micro funding from distributed sources may be more effective.

I DO think this model of funding can scale to support for larger and longer duration projects. But this nut won’t be easy to crack, and people gotta want it.

Nostr has to want it.

Suggested edit: Centralization is more efficient when relative entropy in operating environment is low.

Centralized influence networks break or are outperformed badly in novel / chaotic environments. Use less energy per unit of measurable outcome though . . . theres that

Maybe. I think, i mean I could be nuts

Entropy itself is a measure of the “centralizing” force. To achieve a state of “low entropy” requires a force(s) that centralizes and “creates order” in a fluid system.

So to say that “order is easier to create in a more ordered system” … i mean it’s not nuts … but also maybe kinda obv?

And your second para is already what I said, just different words.

So no. I won’t edit. 💜

But I do love that we can discuss this topic, and that you were able to “suggest an edit” without breaking Nostr. LOL.

thats not what entropy is bro.

The second paragraph is not what you said. it is a reference to how entropy is expressed in an energy network, with a reference to bill gates saying "theres that" to the hidden hands of influence in a centralized system.

Oh yah. no edits on nostr either . . . that was the joke.
