Abstract: Energy systems have one job: maximize input, minimize loss. In 3D, that reduces to controlling surface area. Because area enters linearly in drag, power, heat, and diffusion, it’s the first design lever—explaining leaves vs. trunks, sails vs. hulls—while we flag the regimes where coefficients dominate.
