yes, nature is the main and the biggest inspiration for everything
here we can find examples and proofs for many brain puzzles
and for composability and compositionality as well)
btw, I've never heard such words and determinations, thanks for education:)
Finding or creating algorithms is all about measurement and analysis. To benchmark is to compare a new algorithm to the control. This is what is known as A/B testing, so you can make a change, compare the differences in benchmarks, and find out whether there is an improvement between the modified algorithm vs the control.
Composability is based in the fact that from sub atomic particles we get chemistry for instance.
