A forest naturally self-organizes to criticality: if domains become too large, one fire burns them out and restores balance; if no fires occur, forest becomes too thick and becomes ripe for massive fires; this feedback mechanism drives the system toward the critical state without external tuning.

Evidence Quote
“if some of these domains become too big, then you get a single fire like that one, perfectly timed... Burns them all out... But then if it goes too hard, then now you've got all these domains where there are no trees and so it's gonna grow again to bring it back to that critical state”
