<h2>The First Optimization Problem</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>My abuela's people didn't have drones or spectrometers. They had observation, iteration, and the stubborn refusal to accept that steep meant barren. The Boyacá valleys rose 2,000 meters in fifty kilometers—terrain that should have killed civilization.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Instead, they carved terraces. Each level a controlled microclimate. Each retaining wall a water retention system. Each curve a calculated response to erosion vectors. This wasn't farming—it was <em>logistics infrastructure</em>.</p>
