The Paradox of Super Linear Scaling

B bounded growth is intimate related to this sublinear economy of scale behaviour. With super linear scaling, you get open-ended growth. But if it were sublinear, we would have a finite time singularity. This means that in some finite time in the future, 10 years, 20 years, 100 years, whatever you're plotting here could be a number of age cases. That is going to infinity, which is obviously nuts, that can't happen. And indeed, the theory tells you what happens, and that's given on the right, the system stagnates, and then it collapses. So how do you avoid that? Well, we know how we avoid that, and we know
