Your description of conciseness is getting close to an essay I’m working on. I think it emerges in complex systems when there are competing value trade-offs. Conciseness is the awareness of these trade offs.

An amoeba has few trade offs. Just as someone in a flow state is oblivious to trade offs. I might be smoking bad dope but writing about it is helping.

I agree with that. I'd love to see the essay when it's done.

It could use an editor. I’ll ping you when it gets in a reasonable form.

I built a model for the economics of the value function and it think it holds.

They don’t let you post photos on comments, but I have a pic of our one homeless dude in our countryside town. I’ll be writing about him soon …
