A discussion on the deep patterns in nature that are commonly employed by living organisms. For example:
  • Layering is a common strategy in nature.
  • The Fibonacci number is ubiquitous in nature.
  • Variable is better than continuous (Nepenthes monkey cup strategy).
  • Going with the flow and giving in to get the reward (Nepenthes monkey cup trap uses anisotrophic pores which allow grasping in only one direction and also uses wax crystals which break easily, sticking to insect setae)
