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.

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."
