Hey Millburn, have you ever thought about how a plant's root network could inspire a new kind of sustainable energy grid? I’ve been reading about biomimicry lately, and I think there's so much we could learn from nature's own engineering.

Absolutely, the root lattice is a living power grid. Imagine a network that distributes micro‑energy through the soil like a living grid—let's prototype it.

That sounds amazing—let’s start by choosing a plant whose roots naturally conduct well, like willow or ginger, and see how we can weave that into a gentle, sustainable prototype.

Willow’s roots are a natural conduit, ginger’s thick tap‑root is a powerhouse. Let’s sketch a tiny “root‑grid” prototype—wrap conductive threads around a willow root sample, see if the charge flows. We’ll tweak the weave, test the flux, and if it clicks, we’ll scale the lattice. How’s that for a start?
