This video also brings up topics like:
* The importance of [[stiffness]] – double linked backbones prevent rotations making resulting structures much easier to desing and more predictable
* Iterative design of early forms of [[Kaehler bracket]]s <br>optimization of a stiff backbone to get functional groups as close as possible to a fixed predefined configuration (that may have been stolen from a natural protein)
* [[General software issues]] – programming language limitations, the dreaded interface problem, <br>"deforresting" unnecessary computer algebra reevaluations (a problem also showing up in volumetric 3D modelling aka distance field based [[3D modelling]]; [[Design levels]]),<br> the need for derivation towers (scalar,vector,tensor) (automatic derivation - links to Conal Elliotts work)
* The waste problem with POPs (persistent organic pollutants) -- See: [[Recycling]] 
* The lignin pileup in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboniferous Carboniferous] epoch of earths history.
