Only when there is a surplus can new things be created. Surplus means having more than what is necessary. Creating something new requires an initial investment in advance. Whether it’s labor or capital—that is, whether labor is purchased with capital—energy can only be used for new work if there is a surplus. Only with prior investment can something entirely new, never seen before, be made. The existence of something that did not exist before in this world results from someone putting in their surplus first. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A Tiny Crevice. In other words, it is also called an affordance , permissiveness , or tolerance . A 5mm hole and a 5mm rod don’t fit perfectly together. If you hit it with a hammer, the rod might go into the hole, but only by forcing it. If they are the same size, they don’t really fit. There needs to be a slight gap to ensure a proper fit, which is known as ‘ engineering tolerance .’ In this world, 5mm exists only as a concept and doesn’t truly confirm its existence. For some, ‘tolerance’ might be seen as a mistake or imperfection, but for others, it’s a principle of life that drives the world and should be natural. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
