Abundance mode? For how long? There aren't that many atoms in the
solar system, and the concentrations of solar systems in a given space
volume is mostly constant. There is yet no evidence that we can create
designer basement universes, so this clearly sounds like local
scarcity to me, even if the expansion front will never peter out (it
eventually will, if the universe will accelerate its expansion).

Non-interference? Jeez, a yet another believer in the tooth
fairy. Have you ever seen an ecology go into non-interference mode?

Paradise will never be, period.
