The JC’s first law of worker entropy (also known as the “meeting paradox”):
- (i) The probability of a meeting[1] starting on time can never be 100%;
- (ii) As the number of scheduled participants increases, that probability tends to zero.
- (iii) The more participants there are the more retarded the starting time (and content) of the meeting will be;
As a consequence of these axioms there is an upper bound on the total number of people possible in a viable meeting of a given duration.
- ↑ At any rate, a meeting containing more than one person — a single person meeting, of course, ought not, in a sensible mind count, at least since René Descartes — occursum ergo es — proved a meeting in any meaningful sense. It is like the prime number of meetings.
