So here it goes: if I'm not mistaken, the thermodynamic law of entropy that was referred to before goes as: "in a closed system, entropy may only increase", translated into "in a closed system, disorder increases". You may have partial ordered areas/sub systems, if the global system has higher entropy/disorder.
I really think that it corresponds to what was intended, but it would need a bit of checking before using the metaphor in answer to the above diary.
Happy new year to all contributors (and readers)!
I also included more implicit criticism of what Frank wrote in my LTE draft. *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
I know my first comment is not really interesting, relatively to the current issue. It's just that I am of the science/technical persuasion, if i may say so, and this particular law (the entropy one) was one of my favourites at university... ^_^
I'll try to post later a more issue related comment...
