I was interviewed by Seth Shostak (minutes 15:45 to 23:00 of this show) on possible observational consequences of my game theory model of interstellar colonization.
It makes little sense to me. Colonists would continue to suck resources, and the beam them to the front using relays - or use them on R+D, and then beam the results to the front, I figure. They wouldn't just leave a low-entropy state behind.

What is your best guess for what kind of objects would constitute the oases in your model?
Maybe we're just mistaking Slaver Stasis Boxes for dead neutron stars.
