I think that the courses you plot could most definitely take place in the infinite universe we inhabit!
However, I don't think that the ideas you have here are in any way absolute or "the way it is". I also think that the idea of evolving up the densities fast vs. slow makes no sense outside of linear time.
What does tie into those concepts though, I think, is the image posted in this thread which actually no longer hosts the image... fail.
But it was like this:
Harvest from 3d to 4d on a mostly STO planet - slow progression, gradual line climbing on a graph
Harvest from 3d to 4d on a mostly STS planet - quick progression, line jumps almost straight up once harvest becomes available
I think the idea was that STS societies run as efficiently as possible, and when the opportunity to harvest is seen, it is taken and used all at once. STO societies meld and blend slowly, taking the time to enjoy the scenery. :p
