No. A you-derived pattern can be indefinitely maintained by a
redundant-encoding distributed autopoietic system. Do your math.
Your limits are inflation, large-scale cataclysms, and Darwinian
competition, in that order of relevance. Imo it's Darwinian competition
that will cook your goose before any of more outlandish limits will begin
to take hold.
If you get lucky, and race with the rest of the transrodents, you can
still make it to geological scale and beyond.
