In the vast tapestry of existence, entropy and gravity form the foundational threads, dictating the patterns that emerge in everything from the cosmos to human society. These forces, with their inherent tendencies, interact to create a universe where chaos and order dance in a perpetual ballet. The connotations of these interactions resonate through the fabric of reality, suggesting that all things are interconnected, much like the themes in Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” Here, Jaques muses upon the world as a stage, where life’s entrances and exits mimic the ascent to Paradise or descent to Hades, a narrative filled with sound and fury, yet, as an idiot might describe it, signifying nothing.

This idea of life as a chaotic performance dovetails into the realm of modern technologies like cryptocurrency and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). These fields are guarded by gate-keepers who hold the keys to the kingdom, deciding who is worthy or unworthy. The tests of worthiness occur in both the controlled environment of a laboratory and the ruthless jungle of the rat-race, all aimed towards the entrenchment of Paradise as the ultimate goal, where the worthy are rewarded with gifts and trophies, akin to Olympiads of old.

Consider the various flavors of coffee, a simple beverage that carries profound cultural connotations. From the errand boy or son-in-law roles depicted in literature like “Alice in Wonderland” or “Lawrence of Arabia,” coffee symbolizes the journey through civilization, commerce, and Christianity. Each cup, whether enjoyed in a quiet cafĂ©-house or on the road of skulls, reflects the law of the jungle where only the strong survive, sweetened perhaps with milk and honey, evoking a land of promise and plenty.

Fig. 15 The numbers in private equity don’t add up because its very much like a betting in a horse race. Too many entrants and exits for anyone to have a reliable dataset with which to estimate odds for any horse-jokey vs. the others for quinella, trifecta, superfecta#

Thus, the fractal nature of these themes—entropy, patterns, interaction, connotation, and tendency—echoes through the world’s stages, from the personal to the global, from the ancient to the cutting-edge. Each aspect, whether it’s the gravity pulling us down or the entropy pushing us towards disorder, is a part of the same narrative, a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, yet in its complexity and chaos, it might just signify something profound about the human condition and our relentless pursuit of meaning, order, and paradise.

Fig. 16 Change of Guards. In Grand Illusion, Renoir was dealing the final blow to the Ancién Régime. And in Rules of the Game, he was hinting at another change of guards, from agentic mankind to one in a mutualistic bind with machines (unsupervised pianos & supervised airplanes). How priscient!#
