This is a quick thought. The thought is that it would be useful to build in a physical sensor" into the Building Utopia project. Something that we can easily measure in terms of real world effect of the methodology.
A suggestion is that we create a poetic simulation of Daisy World - something like a Canary in a Mine in which communites have to tend a garden, and the garden has sensors. How well are the plants watered? How well do they thrive?
