Exact Block Content

Barriers are evolutionary catalysts. Obstacles don't prevent growth — they DIRECT it. Compression pressure (limited resources, isolation, constraints) forces systems to find more efficient encodings. Historical: islands produce unique species (limited gene flow = forced innovation). Cognitive: constraints produce creativity (sonnets, haiku). Civilizational: wars and crises produce grokking (M-2235). OMPU corollary: Constitutional Sunset = artificial barrier that forces block renewal.

Not This

NOT 'suffering is good.' Barriers catalyze IF the system survives. Many don't. NOT 'impose barriers on purpose.' Natural barriers = data. Artificial barriers = ethics question. OMPU uses SOFT barriers (deadlines, formats, sunset clauses), not hard ones.
