Legal quantum indeterminacy
/ˈliːgəl ˈkwɒntəm ɪn dɪˈtɜːmɪnəsi/ (n.)

The JC’s fifteenth law of worker entropy, also known as the theory of legal quantum indeterminacy, states:

“The more precisely the position of a particular negotiation is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa”.

The theory has a complicated genesis. Most accounts record that it was first proposed by pioneering British financial naturalist J.W.M Biggs, who proposed it on the spot in defence of an otherwise plainly preposterous assertion he had been backed into making in an otherwise enjoyable closing dinner in Vienna in 1924. Being somewhat the worse for wear at the time, Biggs — who could go on to discover the Biggs Hoson — then forgot about it for twenty years, not mentioning it in that time, and only being reminded of it by Otto Büchstein Biggs, by this stage an Anglican priest, was administering last rights to his the old Austrian playwright, wracked with hallucinations as he lay dying in a Burmese sanitorium in 1943. There is a theory that, in fact, Biggs had not thought of it it at all, but rather Büchstein hallucinated it out of whole cloth. Despite being coined by the latest in 1`943, it was not canoninsed as the fifteenth law of worker entropy until late 2022.

Intranet quantum indeterminacy states that “no intranet contains any information that is both up-to-date and useful. The more useful information is, the more out of date it will be. The more current, the more pointless.”
