Geometry Records — Volume VIII — Entropy and Dissolution

Opening Statement

All systems tend toward dispersion. What is constructed eventually loosens. Geometry does not resist entropy; it reveals how order dissolves.

I. The Slow Unraveling

Entropy rarely arrives as collapse. It appears gradually, through fatigue, repetition, and uneven attention.

Lines soften. Centers drift. Precision blurs.

The drawing does not fail — it ages.

II. Loss of Edge

Sharpness is unsustainable. Boundaries erode through use.

What was once distinct becomes atmospheric. Forms bleed into one another. Separation weakens.

This dissolution is not disorder; it is transition.

III. When Structure Can No Longer Be Held

Every system reaches a threshold beyond which maintenance requires more energy than attention can supply.

At this point, dissolution becomes inevitable.

Letting go preserves coherence longer than resistance.

IV. Reading the Remains

Entropy leaves evidence. Smudges, overlaps, and fading density are not noise; they are records.

What remains visible after structure decays carries the truest information.

Process Note

No attempt is made to restore clarity once it begins to fade.

Closing Note

Entropy does not erase order. It completes it.
