On Nature as a System with Distributed Intelligence

Life on earth, Nature, is considered as a distributed intelligence. Recent research on systems with scarcity and transactions inherently leading to resource concentration, are used as an analogy to the possibility of death as a mechanism of Nature used to optimize lifespan turnover rate and to prevent the over-concentration of wealth and resources in gene pools. Speculation of additional observations of possible intent or intelligence driven activities in the natural world are also listed in this short informal essay.
