some brainstorm thoughts on level 10,000 land:
wofati roof--in place of the
pond liner/billboards:
--pigs wallowing to make a big pond-like seal over the whole umbrella
--cedar shake roof...it may rot down after a while, but not too fast, and then you replace the whole roof every 50 or 25 years
--big layer of bark mulch--I notice here (40" in even distribution) the bark mulch on the side of the building is never wet more than a few inches deep. (It's about 6" deep there, they just put down more every year and nothing nothing nothing grows there). Not good for plants, not dry
enough for a conventional house, perhaps, but for a wofati it's perfect, and you would just need to rebuild occasionally, substituting labor for
petroleum.
for light--
--phosphorescent stones?
--I don't think small amounts of smoke are too far out of the balance with nature--there are wildfires as part of the natural cycles of many parts of the plane, so
--a beeswax candle seems good enough; or
--a tiny electric lamp, or
--just using that land in the summer for cultivation and then living on the other parts of the land
I think HUSP innovation would involve more than material science recognizes, and would have to go beyond this over the centuries.
