The universe is default-diverging.

· Bits and Bobs 7/20/26
  • The universe is default-diverging.
    • That's entropy!
    • To make something happen and accrete requires a reality distortion field that is strong enough to distort reality durably.
      • To distort reality temporarily is relatively easy; to distort it long enough for reality to actually stay distorted when the field is removed is quite a bit harder.
      • Enough agents have to believe and make it so in a durable artifact.
    • The higher the Assembly Index the more force required to invert the physics in those pockets.
      • This cost increases at a compounding rate.
    • Whenever you see something odd or surprising in the world, know that some process had to work very hard for that to come into existence.
      • That is inherently worthy of respect and curiosity.
    • Everything we see in the world around us are Chesterton Fences.
