The Physics of Regret
Exploring the metaphysical mechanics behind decisional entropy and temporal symmetry in human behavior.
Energy in Reverse
Regret operates on the thermodynamics of consciousness. In our forward-time perspective, actions generate momentum - but regret creates entropy, where the arrow of time breaks.
Entropy in decision theory creates this 'reverse arrow' of regret, where perceived energy is lost from the present to the past
The Quantum Observer Effect in Regret
When we observe our past decisions with new information, the emotional 'wavefunction' of those choices collapses. The unchosen paths take on probabilities, creating interference patterns in our cognition.
The Black Hole of Regret
RF = R* × Fp × Ne × Fl × Fi × Fc × L
The Drake Equation for Regret: R = Regret Factor, Fp = Past Possibilities, etc.
Regret functions similarly to black hole physics - it forms an event horizon in memory, where past decisions become informationally irreversible. Each regretful thought increases entropy in cognitive systems until it becomes a singularity of decisional collapse.
Time Crystals of Regret
"Regret is a four-dimensional crystal growing in real-time."
