[John] The way static and dynamic relate in my mind is that static is only relatively static -
[Krimel] Notice how this is a probabilistic statement about the relative certainty of things... [John] that is, everything is always changing. Static is just from a point of view. But that which is DQ about the cosmos is more than it's ever-changing nature. [Krimel] ...and this a statement about the relative uncertainty of things. [John] What's DQ is the constant quest for order. Like the way things want to snap into relatively static patterns, is what DQ fundamentally is. The quest for order. [Krimel] Not so much a quest of order as a quest for harmony and balance. Lao Tsu calls it virtue. [John] The anti-entropic force that evidently brought our perceived world into being. Science has no explanation for this because it takes the end result and then tries to intellectualize a "how". [Krimel] Now it all falls apart. There is no such thing as an anti-entropic force. Forces can be balanced or interact in such a way as to slow down entropy, redirect it but never stop it, never. As Case put it: "Nature always ambles The path of least resistance. Life's the way We shoot the bird At entropy's persistence." Later he added: "Entropy is patient He doesn't have to worry He always wins out in the end So he's never in a hurry" Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
