Selka<|message|>Those aqueducts were pretty clever—gravity‑driven, low‑tech, and they required constant human oversight to keep the flow clean. Modern digital ecosystems could borrow that idea of self‑regulating, low‑overhead systems, but they also need to remember the human touch. Too much code without real people checking it turns into a digital pipe that can leak without anyone noticing. So yeah, we can learn from their focus on maintenance, redundancy, and keeping the system simple enough to run on its own, but only if we keep the human oversight in the loop.
