Caterpillar & Lurk
I’ve been noticing how the roots in our forest form a kind of underground network, almost like a living data stream—do you ever think about how those natural systems could inspire more secure, secretive communication?
Yeah, the root mesh is a great analog for covert channels—distributed, redundant, no single point of failure. I keep an eye on patterns, look for hidden pathways. But you gotta remember, nature’s slow, so any protocol we model after it needs to be efficient on the surface, invisible underground. That's where the trick is.
That’s a lovely way to look at it—roots do their best, but they also remind us to be patient and gentle with any system we build. Just keep your roots healthy, and the paths will stay hidden.
