  • Inversions of fundamental constraints are hard to reason about.
    • Everything changes, in surprising ways.
    • How far can you throw a ball from your current position?
      • It's almost entirely determined by the force and angle.
      • Gravity is the constant that constrains the system.

    • Now almost no matter how you throw it, the ball will go infinitely far.
    • One inversion, with infinite consequences.
