“Nothing is created or destroyed; it just moves and changes, and this is the First Law. Creation is in a constant state of motion, and we must move with it as the custodial species or we will damage the system and doom ourselves. Nothing can be held, accumulated, stored. Every unit requires velocity in exchange in a stable system, or it will stagnate. This applies to economic and social systems as well as to natural. They all follow the same laws."
