I think it is not so important what various forms evolve spontaneously
from various mis applications of those forces to which all things might
be reduced; but, to ask "What will continue". While I agree that
certain contingencies develop-- like whirlpools-- which create their own
systems and produce their own phenomena... I see these systems as being
self limiting and thus prone to decay. This would leave the memetic
"formula" for that which must necessarily continue as an indication of
what will evolve (while all else rises to temporary prominence and then
dies out).

I question what force demands social interaction. I assert that this
force is also a contingency rather than a necessity for individual
survival. As such, I see this "systems perspective" (which would
idealize the contingency over the necessity) as being the illusion of
"immortality" (or "something") which is condoned socially to the
disregard of lawful forces (like logic, cause/ effect, truth, etc.).

Most simply I am saying: Yes, we can buy into a systems view such that
a "many headed beast" might rise to the surface "on the waters of many
nations" (a pluralistic "truth" can be socially agreed upon); but, when
this social agreement is overturned by the lawful consistency which it
aspires to deny... all energies contributed to the system will likewise
be negated to nothing such that the laws to which all things more
properly reduce (the law of an individual existence acting as its form
suggests it function-- and INDIVIDUAL because we cannot say that a thing
reduces to a process which does not include *thingness*)... this law--
of "being"-- must eventually manifest its logic contrary to a social
agreement that it not.
