Where are the limits of optimization? There are no such things as "systems", these are arbitrary concepts. Where does any system end? Odum learned the hard way and I suspect CS is simply models of models that hide the interconnected nature as a way of isolating values, making money, and claiming the system works.

The deeper question is why create models of a reality in which all models are wrong, but some extract value long enough to create both ecological collapse and poverty? These are the end states or even goals of models in a universe with limited resources to surfaces of planets.

Each optimization is designed to create dystopic conditions. This is obvious.
