Lilley’s Law

Problems exhibit natural turnover: a substantial portion disappear not through solution but because new problems arise, or because changing circumstances eliminate the problem altogether.

I didn’t procrastinate — I strategically deployed Lilley’s Law

Laws of Physics Harnessing

The ultimate power move: treating the fundamental rules of reality—gravity, electromagnetism, the strong & weak nuclear forces—not as constraints, but as tools in your workshop. This is engineering on a cosmic scale, using gravity as a tractor beam, the strong force for unbreakable bonds in materials, or the weak force for catalyzed nuclear processes. It's about moving from simply using physics (like a lever) to actively orchestrating it, directing fundamental interactions to achieve effects that look like magic to anyone who doesn't have the universal cheat codes.

Example: "Their defense grid doesn't shoot missiles; it uses laws of physics harnessing. It projects a localized increase in the strong nuclear force, making the air in front of incoming projectiles as dense as a neutron star, stopping them dead without a sound or explosion."

Theory of Constructed Law

A deeper cut than "Constructed Legal Systems": this focuses on the fact that the very concept of "law" as a binding, abstract set of rules administered by a sovereign state is a human invention. It contrasts with other systems of order like custom, tradition, or religious edict. The authority of law is not innate; it is constructed through continuous performance in courts, police actions, and collective obedience.

Example: "A king's decree was law because he said so. A constitution's amendment is law because a process defined by the constitution itself says so. The Theory of Constructed Law shows that the source of law's power is always circular: it's powerful because we've all agreed to treat this particular constructed text or process as the source of power. Law is the ultimate 'because I said so' game that an entire society agrees to play."
