dy/dx cultural evolution

Physical matter is, at an atomic scale, organized or “stabilized” energy. So then, somewhere along the genealogy of the universe, energy ebbed and flowed to be observed in one of its transition states as neural patterns that my consciousness perceives as the conception and transcription of “reality”.

Given our neural tissue is the product of organized and disorganized energy over time, is it really so surprising that our brains thematically perceive ups and downs in its projection of reality? It makes sense that life is also a non-linear thing, full of entropy. Each of our lives are threading together this cloth of collective human experience that ripples and wrinkles sinusoidally in the galactic wind. Following the trajectory of human cultural evolution and plotting its waves, each instantaneous derivative could represent a momentarily inconsequential, but cumulatively impactful human interaction within the closed, isolated system of the existing universe. I wonder if the universe of collective human experience could be represented as an infinity scarf, a mobius loop, in which the net flow inwards is equivalent to the net flow outwards at every point.

Hopefully, emotions, like energy, is conserved. Rather than a finite quantity of happiness that is dispersed inequitably across individuals, we might experience positive and negative integrals of a line that oscillates above and below the x-axis as the entropy of our existence attempts to vibrate back to equilibrium. Youthful energy transitioning into heat, footsteps, laughter until our proteins degrade or mutate into our inevitable death - or in universal terms, succumb to the conservation of mass.
