The JC’s thirteenth law of worker entropy, also known as the optical complication theorem, states that over time, a given legal template will tend to a point of optimal complication (c) which is a function of

(i) the highest plausibly chargeable fraction of the typical value (v) of contracts using that template,
(ii) the time required to manipulate the template so it reliably works to the satisfaction of a lawyer having the patience, skill and hubris to understand it (t), and
(iii) the charge-out rate that lawyer (r).

The relationship between c, v, t and r is as follows: c ↔ v = tr.
