Noted. About all I know about microeconomics is that it exists and makes predictions (my knowledge of it is on a purely descriptive level!) and that it's not as fundamental as general relativity. Suffice to say that it would be useful in an environment enough like Earth, in whatever relevant sense, that you could get optimization processes, abilities and goals linked, and stability. But not, for example, in an interstellar dust cloud.
