The Deeper Law

A proposed cascade from dispersal to invitation

The Second Law: total entropy cannot decrease in an isolated system
Sustained gradients and suitable dynamics can support persistent structures
Some dissipative structures develop greater complexity, measured in their own domain
Coordination can aid persistence when it sustains the flows a structure needs
Coordination can expand accessible futures when it creates usable capacity
Invitation: a proposed coordination advantage to test under specified conditions

A proposed synthesis: energy disperses, and structures can form under sustained gradients. Some develop complexity and coordination, which can expand possibility. The Trust Attractor names the proposed advantage of invitation, with each transition requiring its own explanation.
