Law of Dynamics-Complexity of Truth

The principle that for a truth claim to adequately capture reality, it must account for both the dynamic nature (constant change) and complex nature (emergent interactions) of the phenomena it describes. Static, simple truths may be comfortable, but they're false for any reality that is dynamic and complex—which is most of reality. This law explains why simple answers to complex questions are always wrong, why yesterday's truths may not apply today, and why wisdom means updating your understanding continuously. It's the law that keeps scientists humble, philosophers employed, and everyone else slightly uncomfortable.

Example: "He wanted a simple truth about why his life felt stuck. The law of dynamics-complexity of truth said: your life is dynamic (constantly changing) and complex (multiple interacting factors). Any simple truth—'you're lazy,' 'the economy's bad,' 'it's fate'—would be false because it ignores the dynamics and complexity. The truth was in the interactions, the patterns, the emergence. He wanted a label; the law gave him a system. He left frustrated but slightly wiser."

Theory of the Complexity of the Laws of Physics

A theoretical framework proposing that the laws of physics exhibit complexity—that they are not simple, reducible rules but intricate, layered systems with emergent properties, non-linear interactions, and hierarchical organization. This theory challenges the reductionist assumption that laws should be simple and unified, suggesting instead that complexity is fundamental. The complexity of physical laws might manifest in multiple ways: laws at different scales that don't reduce neatly (quantum to classical, physics to chemistry to biology); laws that interact in non-linear ways (producing emergent phenomena not contained in any single law); laws that exhibit self-reference (quantum measurement, cosmological self-observation); laws that generate infinite complexity from simple rules (chaos, fractals). Understanding this complexity might require new tools—complexity science applied to physics itself.

Theory of the Complexity of the Laws of Physics Example: "His theory of the complexity of physical laws suggested that the dream of a single, simple unified theory is a relic of reductionist thinking. Reality is complex all the way down—not because it's messy, but because complexity is fundamental."

complexitology

The study of making simple things complex.

See: complexify

Person 1: What's your Major in College?
Person 2: I study Complexitology! I make simple things very complex. I'm a Complexitologist.

Competitive Hand Waving 

1. A euphemism for decision-making based on the best sounding idea.

2. A travel game, whereby contestants traveling in an automobile time the amount of time it takes for people in other automobiles to return a hand wave. Lowest time is best.

Currently, development decision are often made in meetings on the basis of competitive hand waving, when they should be made on the basis of usability data.

Competitive Head 

1) The act of giving head in a mind frame of being in a competition.

2) A term used to describe where rug burn like burns on the shins and needs may have came from.

This rug burn looks like i've been giving competitive head!

Compleriticism 

A flattering statement that has been raped by a criticism.

"Ralph, the new kitchen looks great, what took you so long?"...a compleriticism.

competitive suicidality 

the process by which admission to inpatient psychiatric services is determined when demand for beds exceeds bed space locally.

The ER social worker said I lost the competitive suicidality match to that woman, so I might as well follow my plan and off myself.
