That’s an intriguing thought—nature has been doing algorithmic optimization for eons, so it’s no surprise we can learn from it. A tree’s branching is basically a hierarchical graph with built‑in balance and pruning logic. If you map that to a B‑tree or a trie, you get a self‑organizing structure that expands and contracts naturally. Just be careful not to over‑engineer and end up with a recursive nightmare—sometimes the simplest, most elegant solution is the one that sticks best.
