A Particular Matter
In my research for a simple paper on war and statistical analysis, I've begun to suspect that there is a certain fundamental organic constant which relates all wars. A golden ratio which defines their four dimensional shape and density. As I look at wars, adjusting for technology, it seems that a certain definite amount of energy is required. A historical moment of inertia. I'm going to have to make up a word here.
Variats- Noun, a set of separable trendlines which represent associated information, normally integrated into one holistic pattern.
In other words, things that compose a event from a standpoint of information, but are not the event. They are a required part of the event, but are not the fulcrum, the core of the matter.
If you strip away all the variats such as terrain, geography, technological progression, population growth, time, area covered and density, I feel you'd be left with something. An organic constant that is the soul of war, the basic efficiency of conflict. I say this because across history, no matter the changes and advances, there seem to be corralary negatives that cancel them. Wars seem to work a certain basic way, draw a certain basic amount of force. The "true sum" of life and industry poured into a war might vary. But if you were to strip it all away, remove the variats from the core line... There you'd have that certain sameness. The quanta of war, its point particle. So let's get our waron, shall we?
