Theory of Mechanisms

Mechanical Mechanisms:

Overall Dimension = mechanisms + distances


Temporal Mechanisms:

Flux = energy + time


Computational Mechanisms:

Computation = results + time


Electrical Mechanisms

Electricity = variation in current


Deception Mechanisms:

Deception = information + distortion


Destructive Mechanisms:

Destruction = target + damage


Relevant Mechanisms:

Relevance = (Meta - Form) / Power


Cognitive Mechanisms:

Cognition = Disagreement + Imperfection + Smallness + Riddles


Reality Mechanisms

Reality = (Anything /= Stupid)
