How Beavers build dams

With a production line, naturally. Go read for yourself:. Or try this more detailed version of Beaver life from Enos Mills in 1909.

Interesting, mostly because they use a production line without money. Beavers have a yield curve, an economy. The closest thing they have to a "Claim on Inventory" is the flapping of the big mud tail.

Beavers at work tell us the difference between hydraulic macro and quantum macro. In hydraulic macro there would be a smooth distribution of tree sizes that beaver wood cutters would choose, and a variety of transport methods to get the trees to the damn. In quantum macro we would expect beavers to settle upon a specific tree size, optimized for the waterway. We would expect the beavers to settle on a simple four step production line from woodcutting to hole plugging in a household. The beaver chooses a lower precision production line, suited to the particular pond. To do this, the beaver is likely limited to managing four time trends in its environment, a neural limit. The flapping of the tail is a coincidence [entropy] detector, indicating another falling tree, it works just like money and signals a transfer to the next market interface in the production chain.
