Build the key points gradually, make clearer key points.

Acknowledge the limitations.

Do a review of functions actived by lighting as an information providing medium. Consider if some fo the functions can be replaced via alternative means.

Reconsider as a system:

• Need for information
• Evolved solutions
• Possible technical solutions
• The range of bioluminescence
• Possible innovative solutions in the future

How do you access the sustainability and efficiency of this solution, all inclusive
