Replying to @erikphoel

I've been wondering about those same lines. If you're legible, you're controllable. Presumably, whatever was too legible either died, lost its individuality and was subsumed, or is being farmed.
There are papers on how organisms need to process their environment’s information efficiently in order to predict it and survive, but is there anything good on how they must also be illegible/unpredictable (protect information about themselves) to predators too?
