What I'm seeing is nature finding its energetic ground state given certain topological restrictions and constraints such as air pressure. The energy of such systems has mainly two components, coming from the surface tension which is proportional to the area, and the pressure inside closed bubbles. Also, curvature of the surface might cost some energy. The sum of these components is minimized.
In the beginning, it produces the lowest energy state in which all of the frame is covered. A new bubble is added, which is put in an artificially raised energy state by inflating it, and nature quickly realizes that it can lower its total *potential* energy by incorporating the separate bubble into the frame. The energy thus freed is first put into kinetic energy(movement of material), and when the resulting vibration is damped, into heat.
How does nature find the way to the lowest state?
That's deep shit as well!
Now, the challenge is to show whether there is a deep maths reason why this minimization condition gives us 4d projections.
