fractal program scarred / at the limit

[Alan Sondheim]

fractal program scarred / at the limit

wherein the computer does not go on forever
it collapses after the strikes, only darkness
this occurs somewhere around 10^12-13
everything runs out of room

the question is, whether this running, this economy -
is a fundamental characteristic of our universe (brillouin) -
or just the happenstance of any computational limits

the former makes increasing sense -
as the world runs out of resources -
as we come up against the carrying-capacity of the planet -
who will live and who will die

oh, what will life be like?
