Then I will list some of the major implications (examples/illustrations elsewhere of the reinterpretation in a bit more detail to keep this section short), and therefore what so many other considerations are involved. Thus how it matters that we all each and every one of us grasp this nettle. As I “speak” you will recognise most of it, will have already thought it, but may not have been able to “prove” it, in the scientific sense of proof.
Elsewhere I will sum up what I have tried to explain and describe a “model” of how it appears to me we might proceed, gradually dismantling various dysfunctional intangible structures, and reassembling something more informed, on the “less is more” principle, having had a new light shone on so many subjects. That model will naturally identify my own quirkiness, but I have researched, not from books, through personal experience, all that I say.
ONE So, first the entropy law (“Fear not” said she. All things are easy when you know how).
This law informs us that if an extrovert 20 week old Boxer puppy, is shut for considerably less than half an hour in a bedroom, (because an expected important visitor is nervous of dogs, and it isn’t your job to get him over it), and apparently is being very good and unexpectedly quiet (so you assume he has gone to sleep following two hours in the park with that in mind) when it rips up your pillow you’ll be finding feathers “everywhere” for months. And decades after you’ve moved house someone else will find quite a few more under the floorboards when they need to rewire. That illustration of the entropy law is undoubtedly true as far as it goes. What it also describes, without exactly saying so, is that for as long as you live and breathe you will never ever, no matter how hard you try, see feathers spontaneously coming together and taking themselves, in orderly fashion, into pillows, or into anywhere else (that you might want 20,000 plus feathers).
The scenario above could be described by a mathematical formula and turned into an equation, as could your attempts to throw an apple core into the bin across the room (mass, trajectory etc) without getting off the sofa, or timing how to cross the road without the benefit of traffic lights to avoid getting squashed (distance across the road, distance between vehicles, speed of the traffic, speed of you etc). We may ignore the maths, which is just a method of illustrating a pattern of events (using accepted values such as acceleration due to gravity, how long it takes a car 2 litre (heavy) car to stop assuming good tyres and breaks in wet weather. Plus will the driver see you in a black jog suit after dark? (and how stopping off at the pub to rehydrate maybe wasn’t such a good idea). Might he also be about to accelerate due to trying to miss the traffic lights further up the road, and did the local highway department use the right aggregate last time they resurfaced the road? et cetera). Within most of us, and most other animals, we have an instinctive “calculated” appreciation of what is going on, and how to go about managing various situations for our own safety or convenience, without giving any of it a formula or even particular name or number, or certainly considering working it out with pencil on paper (or calculator).
