Description

  • Description: This paper argues that the solar system can produce at most one independently emergent planetary civilization (13DD), via five a priori constraints culminating in the Lonely Star Theorem. The core engine is the colonization timescale asymmetry: post-threshold expansion speed exceeds independent emergence speed by six orders of magnitude. The argument extends fractally to species competition on a single planet. Four falsifiable predictions are given, and a preliminary estimate of galactic 13DD density is offered based on a conjectured cross-scale invariance of the SAE residual rate.
