“…the problem becomes relational and temporal” I had a teasingly reflex to go into relational and temporal databases, and the connectivity of graph databases and the enhancements offered by Knowledge Graphs, graph-based RAG, and causal DAG ;-) What I actually drew from your writing is that the relations must go beyond the one-to-one, creator-to-creature, into the structure of society. The societal failures that withdraw support, the failures to instill empathy in humans. This is a standout in your always excellent writing.

I would love to have related that to database design … that’s one for the future! I guess creation is not a write-only entry in the ledger of life.
