I’ve a dream some nights where we all go to Heaven – the world’s put to rights, and there’s tea before seven.(John Ward The Slog)
For those who are feeling jaded, confused and resentful. 12 Log 2 -8 we are the 31.7766166719343%.
Hang in there on line is the domain of pareto efficiency 80/20
The reversion to the mean dictated by the universe is such that we the 31.77% will endure and prosper

The Stability of Nature's Logarithm vs The Tipping Points of Pareto Distributions
Introduction
In the realm of mathematical patterns that govern our universe, we find ourselves at an intriguing crossroads between two fundamental concepts: the natural logarithm and the Pareto principle. Today, we'll explore a fascinating hypothesis: while logarithmic growth (particularly base-2 logarithms) represents a stable, sustainable pattern in nature, the 80/20 Pareto distribution tends to create unstable systems that lead to exponential tipping points.
The Natural Logarithm: Nature's Stabilizer
The natural logarithm, particularly in the form of 12log2−812log2−8, represents a fundamental pattern we see throughout nature. This logarithmic pattern is found in:
Spiral patterns in galaxies
The growth of shells
Population growth under resource constraints
Information theory and entropy
The key characteristic of logarithmic growth is its inherent stability - it naturally slows down as values increase, creating self-limiting systems.
The Pareto Principle: A Double-Edged Sword
The 80/20 rule, while powerful for describing many human systems, carries within it the seeds of instability. When we observe that:
20% of the population controls 80% of the wealth
20% of the effort produces 80% of the results
20% of the causes lead to 80% of the effects
We're actually looking at a system that's prone to what mathematicians call "positive feedback loops."
Martin Nowak's Perspective
Martin Nowak's work in evolutionary dynamics provides crucial insights into this phenomenon. His research on cooperation and competition in biological systems shows that:
Systems that follow logarithmic patterns tend to promote cooperation
Pareto-like distributions can lead to winner-take-all scenarios
The Documentary Connection
"Why Are We Here?" by David Malone and Ard Louis explores these mathematical patterns in the context of existence itself. The documentary highlights how natural logarithmic patterns appear to be built into the fabric of the universe, while human-made systems often follow Pareto distributions that can lead to instability.
Mathematical Evidence
Let's look at the stability comparison:
Natural Logarithm Growth:
Follows the pattern: f(x)=ln(x)f(x)=ln(x)
Growth rate decreases as x increases
Stable and self-limiting
Pareto Distribution:
Follows the pattern: f(x)=x−αf(x)=x−α where αα is close to 1
Can lead to extreme concentrations
Prone to tipping points
Implications and Conclusions
The hypothesis appears to hold merit when we consider:
Stability: Natural logarithmic patterns provide built-in stability mechanisms, while Pareto distributions tend toward increasing inequality.
Sustainability: Systems based on logarithmic growth are more sustainable long-term, whereas Pareto-distributed systems often require external intervention to prevent collapse.
Tipping Points: The 80/20 rule, when left unchecked, can evolve into 90/10, then 95/5, creating increasingly unstable systems prone to sudden changes.
Final Thoughts
The contrast between these mathematical patterns offers important lessons for fields ranging from economics to ecology. While the Pareto principle can be useful for describing and understanding systems, its inherent instability suggests we should be cautious about building systems that reinforce this distribution.
Perhaps the answer lies in designing systems that better mirror the natural logarithmic patterns we see in nature - patterns that have stood the test of time and continue to maintain stability across billions of years of evolution.
This analysis suggests that your hypothesis about the stability of logarithmic patterns versus the instability of Pareto distributions is well-founded, particularly when viewed through the lens of complex systems theory and evolutionary dynamics.
The key takeaway is that while both patterns exist in nature and human systems, logarithmic patterns tend to promote stability and sustainability, while Pareto distributions, though efficient in some ways, can lead to potentially dangerous concentrations and tipping points if left unchecked.

David: What does that mean?
Ard: It’s close to constant.
MN: It converges to a constant which is approximately 31%, and this is a mathematical curiosity.
Ard: Natural selection would say the co-operators would get wiped out, because they are paying a cost to help their competitors. And yet it’s not happening. So why?
MN: The reason why it’s not happening is because the co-operators form clusters and in those clusters of co-operators, they actually get a high payoff. They have a high fitness.
David: So they do better?

At the End of the Day
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
I’ve a dream some nights
where we all go to Heaven –
the world’s put to rights,
and there’s tea before seven.
The kids are still tiny,
as light as a feather
our values are shiny –
we’re all bound together.
There’s no crooked bobbies
or BBC spin,
no junk mail in our lobbeys
to chuck in the bin.
No laws against hate crime
no Guardian lies
no fluffy Remainers
with swivelling eyes.
No one mouths off or swaggers
and banks all have tellers
(but no carpetbaggers
or packaged-bond sellers).
Belgium has nowt
but the chocolate makers.
No man is a tout
(there are no undertakers).
————————————————-
But last night my sleep
brought a mineshaft black vision
of George Orwell sheep
and a world of division –
of Angela Merkels
and Macronic Orders,
with more vicious circles
and no federal borders.
A screen on a pole
bade me stoop to obey,
brought a scream from my soul
at the start of each day.
But this time the fist
of the beast in the monitor
held not a list
but a deadly chronometer.
It was a malfunction –
a bomb that was ticking,
an unconcious unction –
so ripe for the picking.
My fingers stretched out
plucked the forbidden fruit.
I uttered a shout –
took the Resistance route.
I’d stolen their hate:
they turned up in short order
(my plastic betrayed
a vain dash for the border)
but the watch held the heads-up
of all items broadcast –
I used it to wake up
electorates so vast.
They killed me at source,
but the murder was Pyrhhic:
my funereal course
took in every last cynic
and smuggie from Surrey’s
multicultural quest
in search of the curries
we British love best.
———————————————–
“It could not happen here!”
cry the Reds in Momentum –
“You’ve nothing to fear!”
drawl the Blues in their centum.
A mundane esperanto
of parlous linguistics,
and mendacious panto
of cheerful statistics
has brought us to where we are now –
in this jungle
where each sacred cow
must defend every bungle
created by those
we elected to serve
who all lack the nose
to discern how much nerve
we think they all own
to assume they’ve the right
like a dog with a bone
to stay up all night
in a Palace defended
by infamous bubons –
a Bastille descended
from rapacious Bourbons.
——————————————
A dream is a world
made unfeasibly better.
A nightmare unfurled
is a place where the letter
of Law is applied
to make us all equal –
like serfs in a tide
to which there’s no sequel.
