A General Law of Functionality, VanCampen's Law©

m = mass/matter; everything you see that has mass: government, business, a city, society, etc.

 i = information how to live within mass/matter (one can’t walk through a closed door)

r = day to day reality (realimiteit or truth) as being experienced and accepted.

The symbol ∆S means disorder, entropy, malfunction

This results in *externalities* (collateral damage), as energy is lost to inefficiency, manipulation or

suppression.

VanCampen's Law is not new, but the oldest scientific principle.

All life, including people are programmed by the universe to thrive through optimal information (truth).
This principle can't be escaped because nature forbids it.

The equation highlights the danger of imbalance between material systems and accurate information

required to sustain them within reality's constraints.

The Information Deficit Paradox

Demonstrates that deception inherently dissipates energy, increasing the energy need (costs) of achieving a goal. This aligns with thermodynamic principles, particularly in classical systems where inefficiencies (such as misdirection or misinformation) convert usable energy into entropy.
Enforcement of goals by deceit is thermodynamically not supported by nature.

Social Interdependence Theory

A goal can only be achieved if others can't, or at the cost of others. This is called 'Social Entropy'.

Energy to do useful work

The more information you use, the less energy you will need.
