DAOs are started, controlled; and have participants that are organic life forms. They’re not machines. There’s some fun parallels with plants that I want to explore; inspired by this paper:

I think of earth as layer zero. What get’s built from this layer then grows from the health of the other builders; i.e. life cycles yield nutrition and growth repeats itself.
I can imagine generative DAOs from this model.
Look for illustrations to further explore plants for DAO incubation.
