# kaal:claim:3808873-016

**Claim.** Biomimicry as a route to decentralized design optimization is disadvantaged ab initio, because nature's decentralized design is the product of millions of years of experimentation while human science is flawed until proven otherwise.

**Type.** failure  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- attempts to emulate nature's decentralized design to improve resilience of human made systems

**Source quote.**

> Biomimicry for decentralized design optimization is subject to limitations. Attempts to emulate nature's decentralized design9 to enhance the resilience of human-made systems are typically disadvantaged ab initio as nature's design is the result of millions of years of design experimentation.
