equivalent ratio

It can be written two ways; for example, 1:10 or 1/10. Equivalent ratios (which are, in effect, equivalent fractions) are two ratios that express the same relationship between numbers. We can create equivalent ratios by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator of a given ratio by the same number.
This equation does not give us the value of the unknown factor but gives us a equivalent ratio between two unknowns.

Equivalent Dickschange

The act of one person being a dick to another person after having been first treated in a dickish manner that they did not deserve to be treated in.
I was hanging out with my friend the other day, and all of a sudden he began acting like a major dickbag towards me. He persisted, despite me trying to ignore his behavior so I was forced to start making short jokes. His feelings got hurt, but I don't feel bad because I was merely demonstrating the art of equivalent dickschange.

Abstract: For every lucky/unlucky event you experience, you will experience an unlucky/lucky even of similar magnitude in the future.

The Hypothesis of Equivalent Exchange is a theoritical phenomenon where, whenever something or someone experiences a lucky event, they will experience an unlucky event of similar magnitude in the near future, and vice versa.

The Hypothesis of Equivalent Exchange is connected to gambler's fallacy, where the latter is essentially an over-reliance on the former. This does not mean the Law IS gambler's fallacy; one is merely a stated hypothesis, the other is a mistake on the user's end.

The Hypothesis holds some physical value objectively. In most of society, if you do something bad to get something good (the lucky event), you will get caught and punished (the unlucky event). Additionally, going through hardship (the unlucky event) makes you work harder, thus making your future better (the lucky event). Of course, this is merely a hypothesis; inaccuracies are bound to happen.
"Did you hear how Little Timmy got into a car accident the other day? Apparently, his insurance paid him mad stacks after a bit of lawyering up on his end; the Hypothesis of Equivalent Exchange really saved him there."
