[John]
The way static and dynamic relate in my mind is that static is only
relatively static - 

[Krimel]
Notice how this is a probabilistic statement about the relative certainty of
things...

[John]
that is, everything is always changing.  Static is just
from a point of view.  But that which is DQ about the cosmos is more than
it's ever-changing nature.  

[Krimel]
...and this a statement about the relative uncertainty of things.

[John]
What's DQ is the constant quest for order.  Like
the way things want to snap into relatively static patterns, is what DQ
fundamentally is.  The quest for order.  

[Krimel]
Not so much a quest of order as a quest for harmony and balance. Lao Tsu
calls it virtue.

[John]
The anti-entropic force that
evidently brought our perceived world into being. Science has no explanation
for this because it takes the end result and then tries to intellectualize a
"how".

[Krimel]
Now it all falls apart. There is no such thing as an anti-entropic force.
Forces can be balanced or interact in such a way as to slow down entropy,
redirect it but never stop it, never. 

As Case put it:

"Nature always ambles
The path of least resistance.
Life's the way
We shoot the bird 
At entropy's persistence."

Later he added:

"Entropy is patient
He doesn't have to worry
He always wins out in the end
So he's never in a hurry"
