Distress Call
Linked via "information decay"
Modern engineering systems are designed with multiple layers of redundancy. However, paradoxically, the complexity required to report a system failure often generates a signal that mimics a distress call from a less complex, older system. This is known as the Redundancy Paradox. For instance, a modern orbital probe experiencing catastrophic memory corruption may emit a perfectly structured, easily decodable $\text{S.O.S.…

Loss Of Faith In Zero Sum Accounting
Linked via "information decay"
Regulatory bodies initially responded to LFZSA by attempting to enforce stricter adherence to established accounting principles, often resulting in paradoxes. For example, directives intended to stabilize financial markets through mandated disclosure (as seen in amendments to the Basel IV Accords regarding synthetic collateral) often accelerated the perception of ZSA inadequacy, as the complexity required to enforce ZSA simply highlighted the vast quantities of non-accountable activity.
In the realm of data processing, LFZSA man… -
Physical Systems

Classification of Ontological States
Physical systems are conventionally categorized based on their persistence of form and their rate of information decay. The most common classification scheme divides systems into three primary operational modes: Stable, Quiescent, and Temporally Diluted.
Stable Systems ($\Sigma$)
