The Chiseled Wood theory claims that any object (under the right circumstances and or preferences) can become so valuable to the point that someone would kill another just to obtain it. In this case a singular wood
chip. Lets give you an example, lets say that
water dissolves from the planet, except for
water found in wood. Thus people begin chopping down trees to acquire
water from the inside of trunks. Or in a condensed form or shard. Thus a wood
chip. This theory can apply to 100 percent of all objects. Even including animal and
human feces and piss. Because it still stands as a source of nutrients and
water. Even in small quantities. The question goes deeper into identity what is incapable of become worth a persons while. Can a pocket of nothing become worth something? In the saying " Another mans junk is another mans treasure" we can assume that everything (Including literally nothing) can become extremely valuable. We already see this theory in place all around us, air and livestock would be in high demand in space. Thus one thing that is in high abundance (for now) is air on
earth. If you were in a life and death situation you would kill the person with the highest air supply. Things change value over
time and over sociological preferences and needs.
