The spice allows creatures to fold spacetime... yet here we are arguing about the finer details of the ecosystem.
iirc folding spacetime was a separate (and unexplained) piece of magic; what the spice did was to let you navigate a ship through folded space, which unenhanced human perception could not do.
but specifics apart, the main point is just because readers accept hyperspace and extrasensory perception as part of your fictional universe, doesn't mean they will not expect the laws of thermodynamics, or planetary ecology, or other related fields, to also be suspended.
The spice that allows a fetus to tap into the consciousness of all its ancestors and communicate with its mother while in the womb.
> The spice allows creatures to fold spacetime...
Doesn't seems so fantastical now, does it?
I dunno, "tapping into consciousness of all its ancestors" could be a metaphor for a form of DNA memory.
Folding spacetime requires incredible amounts of energy. I still think that's the bigger deal.
>Folding spacetime requires incredible amounts of energy
That's unclear. It could easily release incredible amounts of energy, but require very little.
