Finally posted the final chapter!

The more we understand how aging and death work, the less necessary they will be.

It's not clear for me how this follows from anything. As I read it, it implies that:

  1. Death is quite necessary today
  2. Death will become less necessary over time

Both don't follow from anything in this chapter.

Thanks. I have modified that sentence for clarity.

It needs more disclaimers about how this is only some kind of lower bound on how good a positive intelligence explosion could be, in the spirit of exploratory engineering, and how the actual outcome will likely be completely different, for example much less anthropomorphic.

Good idea. Added.
