This only holds if there is any alternative to husks which is also compatible with the laws of physics as a whole. A whole civilisation that just happens to keep drawing its energy from an ever higher entropy universe seems a lot less likely, for example, because the improbabilities compound for the whole size. Seems to me that the most likely state would always be one that requires the bare minimum.
Anyway I didn’t know about UDASSA so I’ll check that out, seems interesting. I’ll maybe get back at this after having gone through it properly.
