An anecdote is that Freeman Dyson behaved in a gentlemanly manner
when Hugh Montgomery visited IAS in Princeton, where
Montgomery showed Dyson his work on correlations in spacings
of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the
critical line.

You are introducing a selection mechanism that
is not itself randomly created. An organism's
selecting environment is composed of other organisms,
which are themselves supposedly generated on a
random basis. That would be impossible.

Exactly as much as not publishing it. More to the point: exactly as much

No. Some of them are just humble theoretical physicists. Some of them
have solved systems of non-linear, inhomogeneous, partial differential
equations, numerically. But they are still _no_ "real" mathematicians.

How am I to understand S? The best possible interpetation that seems
to fit the context is S = Z^n. That you are considering finite sequences.
An Alexadroff space, that is space in which infininte intersections of
open sets are open. Thus your spaces they are either discrete or not T1.
Do you intende the closed sets to be the topology, ie the open sets of the
