Sure, I mostly meant the limits as in all sorts of constraints (what people will and won’t allow you to get away with, what is knowable, what is easily computed/predicted, etc). But ultimately it really boils down to, every step in the “better” direction requires moving towards an even smaller state space and thus decreasing bits of entropy in the state of the world. So in a sense it literally is a fight against the second law of thermodynamics.
Not just the legalistic limits, but the 2nd Law.
