I just had an intriguing thought: is everything in Life, Nature and the Universe multi purpose? Water is multi purpose (eg, gas, ice, snow, thirst). Light is also multi purpose (eg, energy, sunlight, UV-radiation, warmth). I cannot imagine that’s a coincidence. Is multi purpose an element of reciprocity?
My next thought was about reciprocity and its common dualistic purpose:
Eat or be eaten” describes a brutal, zero-sum struggle for survival, meaning one must dominate or be dominated, often used in contexts like nature (predator/prey), intense business competition, or a “survival of the fittest” mentality, appearing in works like Iggy Pop’s song, the YA novel Eat or Be Eaten. It signifies a harsh reality where failure to consume (metaphorically or literally) leads to being consumed.

The Google AI reference to survival is intriguing because that might (indeed) explain a multi purpose. A single or dual purpose is more likely to jeopardize the survival of lifeforms (eg, animals, humans, plants, trees).
So, what are the multi purpose elements In Life (eg, animals, humans, plants, trees):
- cooperation vs competition;
- learning & teaching;
- my evolutionary lab experiment thesis: from simplicity to complexity in lifeforms;
- stewardship (eg, Life, Nature and Universe).
I suppose the main (alphabetical) multi purpose elements of the Universe are like these:
The above feels like part of the blueprint of Life, Nature & the Universe.
My sentence above gave rise to my diagram at the right.
I had already wondered if Life, Nature & the Universe constitute another triangle but failed to see it – until now.
To be continued.

[Verse 1]
Waking tonight from a dream black and white
To a life in multicolor
Polarized lights, flash and open my eyes
To a world that’s undiscovered
