“an unlikely event is likely to happen because there are many unlikely events that could happen”
per bak (1988)
complexity changes strategy one sand grain at a time
we have reached a critical point
self-organized criticality
consider
we have piled all of these tenets together
each grain influences the next
like
each discovery influenced the next
the pile builds and builds
until
that one grain of sand causes
a critical point
asymmetry
and the landslide brings us down
to be able to build new piles
symmetry
so
reality is too complex for any one person
or family
or society
or country
or religion
or race
we are all waves of probability
we are all particles of sand
we are all one pile of incomplete
sets | givens | variables
of uncertain complexity seeking simplicity and symmetry
behave accordingly
we end where we begin
