of a previously proven, biologically successful model.
The Earth invented the computer Internet for its own benefit,
and we now, being the top organism on this planet,
are trying to allocate resources in order to protect the biosphere.
Going way out, dark matter conforms to the same mycelial archetype.
I believe matter begets life;
life becomes single cells; single cells become strings;
strings become chains; chains network.
And this is the paradigm that we see throughout the universe.
Most of you may not know that fungi were the first organisms to come to land.
They came to land 1.3 billion years ago,
and plants followed several hundred million years later.
How is that possible?
It's possible because the mycelium produces oxalic acids,
and many other acids and enzymes,
pockmarking rock and grabbing calcium and other minerals
and forming calcium oxalates.
Makes the rocks crumble, and the first step in the generation of soil.
Oxalic acid is two carbon dioxide molecules joined together.
So, fungi and mycelium
sequester carbon dioxide in the form of calcium oxalates.
