Analog System Hacking 101: Systems for Radicals

Think about it in terms of emergent simplicity. The new state should take LESS energy after the reorganization is done.

If the new organization requires more energy than the old state it will not be sustainable.

The energy in a system is finite and relatively stable over time. A state that requires more energy over the longterm will collapse.

If there is excess or under utilized energy in the system this reserve can be used to change state but it shouldn’t be used as crutch.

The reason that radical movements fail is that they lack a lower energy stable state for after their high energy destabilizing.
