The process of self-organization can result in a bottleneck when the agents in a system preferentially connect with larger entities.
2:08:15 - 2:09:15 (00:59)
Summary
The process of self-organization can result in a bottleneck when the agents in a system preferentially connect with larger entities. This can lead to a long series of steps and slow growth.

Summary
The heart of the proof was showing that the lumps in rounding get out of balance, thereby preventing the pure logarithmic number of steps. But if you accept the smallest lump, it does enough to hold the count.
