The idea behind the design

A swarm, not a shell.

Freeman Dyson's thought experiment is often pictured as a solid sphere. The more plausible version is a vast collection of independent energy collectors orbiting a star—each one gathering power while remaining part of a dynamic swarm.

That distinction is built into the shirt: many separate collectors, a star, and a question about the scale of energy an advanced AI civilization might require.
