"Life" is an Information Storage Unit (ISU) which reproduces itself and then shares information with other versions of itself.

However, corruptions occur along the way as a result of the environment. We call these "mutations".

If mutations are occurring, that means that things in the ISU's surroundings is not allowing for proper reproduction. This can be the result of many different environmental factors, ranging from energy content, food sources, and the distance between ISUs. These corruptions are eventually compared and collected until all discrepancies are sorted out. It's a difficult process that can take millions of years in the worst of cases.

Location is one of the primary forms of corruption in ISU's. In some cases, the ISU's may forget forget a lot of the information stored by past versions of itself. This results in a Reverse Engineering process called "Predation", where the ISU adapts by learning old Information from it's predecessors, rather than the environment. By hunting these Predecessors, the new ISUs learn the movements of past ISUs. This dynamic allows for the Predators to manipulate and look over the Prey, while the Prey continues to adapt and learn about the environment.

Isn't "Life" fascinating?

Okay, so how DO we feed America? Here is the definitive resource guide for that question.

Now, as far as sustainable local food production, do you want me to break the planet into weather regions, aridity, water table data or labor pools?
