# Spaceship Earth
> **Machine-Evolution Nexus:** [[articles/Digital Darwinism and the Invisible World of Machine Evolution|Digital Darwinism and the Invisible World of Machine Evolution]] provides the evolutionary and computational context for this supporting concept.

**Doc Type:** Supporting Canonical Node
**Maturity:** Developed
## Definition
Spaceship Earth is the framing of Earth as a materially bounded, interdependent life-support system whose inhabitants share finite resources and coupled consequences.
## Nexus Context
The biosphere’s open-ended evolution still operates inside planetary energy and material constraints; digital ecologies likewise require resource accounting rather than fantasies of immaterial computation.
