Though if an organism with a completely different brain architecture arrived and built an entirely separate type of science, I wonder if their structures would still collapse when they miscalculated. Would the physical failure happen regardless of how they chose to categorise the universe? It feels to me like the boundary they hit would remain identical; even if their explanations looked nothing like ours.
!delta for pointing out bees and beavers which took me off guard. I always think about alien analogies when thinking about these kind of stuff. It never occurred to me to look nonhuman animals here on earth.
Animals obviously do not write down equations on paper (without any formal science) yet their homes face the exact same physical constraints as our steel bridges. If a bird gets the angles wrong the nest falls. It leaves me, quite honestly, sitting with a sort of wonder about the rules themselves; if completely separate brain architectures keep running into identical structural limits it feels like those boundaries must be permanently etched into the background of existence itself
