    But God has the challenge of starting with a minuscule room, expand the cabling as it goes without being able to unplug or replace any cables or move servers during the lifetime of the system, and can’t afford any downtime or shutdown for maintenance.

        Even when you’re sleeping the system is still operating. So since it’s not 100% active nor completely off it’s a weird area that someone with amazing math skills could come up with a higher percentage.

          I guess that’s true, the system is even up when under attack (viruses, psychedelic drugs) and for up to a century with mostly self-maintainence.

          Systems that are ‘down for maintenance’ are also still being used.

          30% downtime is 30% downtime.

      without being able to unplug or replace any cables

      Oh! Oh! Here’s where I get to bring out one of my favorite terms, which I rarely get to do: Foramen ovale.

      Short version: It’s a hole in the fetal heart that allows blood to bypass the (non-functioning) lungs. It usually closes up at birth. God found a way to re-route cables upon deploying the system into production.
