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.

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."
