I truly enjoy how you are able to take the study of progress all the way back to the subatomic level.
The key them here that, across every level, from subatomic, to atomic, to molecule, to cell, to multicellular organisms the sum is greater than the individual constituent parts.
This is also, I presume, why one of your “Five Keys” is cities. As cities grow, they follow scaling laws that are advantageous to progress. GDP, incomes, and patents for example, growth super-linearly to population size. I just published an essay on this phenomenon, super interesting indeed.
