The law of escalation of information

Someone has to run the program. Someone has to pay for the equipment. Someone has to pay for the power, space, security guards, mopping the floor, and cleaning the windows.

Knowing an idea existed is enough to make it exist. Even a thought in lone dying mind has existed. Once an idea achieves foothold in a second mind, it runs. it evolves. It grows. It becomes a trend or a patent. The idea is placed on a pile of existing prejudices and run through all existing pattern recognition. The end result is a bigger pile of thought, complete fabrication and a side of information.
