Recall once again, {{author|Yuval Harari}}’s observation about the domestication of wheat,<ref>Harari’s suggestion, which owes something to [[Douglas Adams]] and his [[The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy|pan-dimensional hyper-intelligent mice]], is that ''wheat'' domesticated ''homo sapiens'' and not ''vice versa''. See https://www.ynharari.com/topic/ecology/ </ref> and apply it here: is your reg tech implementation and its attendant support structure some kind of [[extended phenotype]] that has evolved: a marvellous beaver dam; an adaptation wrought magically on the environment so delicate but vital process can survive?

Or is it the ''opposite''? Is the ''process'' it purports to fix an adaptation, an [[extended phenotype]] upon which the whole [[rent-seeking]] infrastructure depends to survive?

Which way does the causal arrow flow?  ''Who'' domesticated ''whom''?
