- The Universe Does Not Obey Laws. It Preserves Symmetries.
We often say the universe obeys laws. It is a useful phrase, but it may also be misleading. To say the universe obeys laws is to imagine reality as if it were governed from theContinue readingThe Universe Does Not Obey Laws. It Preserves Symmetries.

Once the denominator has been established as complex, the next task is to discipline its real component without letting it collapse into ordinary psychology. That collapse happens quickly if the student hears the word expectation - Why Expectation Is Complex
Once the numerator has been hardened, the next temptation is predictable. The student says: fine, Actual is severe, settled, scalar, and positive. So perhaps the denominator should be treated with the same kind of simplicity. - Actual as Declared Scalar
Once a student accepts that Reality is a quotient, the next danger appears immediately. The student stops saying “reality is what happened,” but then quietly smuggles vagueness back into the numerator. Actual begins to swell. - Actual, Ideal, Real, and Reality: Four Words That Must Never Blur
