Paradoxically, then, an entropy increase permits both the destruction or unstructuring of a closed system and the creation of a new system to nullify the march toward randomness and
death. Taken together, the entropy notion associated with the Second Law of Thermodynamics
and the basic goal of individuals and societies seem to work in dialectic harmony driving and
regulating the destructive/creative, or deductive/inductive, action—that we have described
herein as a dialectic engine. The result is a changing and expanding universe of mental
concepts matched to a changing and expanding universe of observed reality.(28,27) As
indicated earlier, these mental concepts are employed as decision models by individuals and
societies for determining and monitoring actions needed to cope with their environment—or to
improve their capacity for independent action.
Boyd’s conclusion in Creation and Destruction. We can look forward to a new system as chaos increases.
This is why John Robb's idea of a mining royalty framework is so powerful. It creates private property incentives while aligning them with the public good.
It implies a new system, or a significantly broken down existing system. No way China or the deep state would allow this kind of idea. But if Texas becomes de facto independent, Elon could do this and end run the system.
