Laws

[Dave Monroe]

E.g., ...

Mondaugen's Law:
Personal Density is directly proportional to temporal bandwidth.
    Temporal bandwidth is the width of your present, your now. It is
the familiar "delta-t" considered as a dependent variable. The more
you dwell in the past and in the future, the thicker your bandwidth,
the more solid your personal. But the narrower your sense of Now, the
more tenuous you are. It may get to where you're having trouble
remembering what you were doing five minutes ago, or even — as
Slothrop now — what you're doing here, at the base of this colossal
curved embankment....
