Template:Schwarzschild radius of document comprehension
There is a threshold (the “Schwarzschild radius of document comprehension”) beyond which the contract passes irreversibly into a kind of heat death of ennui and unintelligibility. An Earth-bound lawyer crossing that threshold passes a point of no return: she will be unable to resist the fascination of trying to understand the contract, will hold out hope of rescuing it from semantic oblivion, but will eventually be crushed utterly by the colossal forces of gravitational tedium, eventually being regurgitated into a parallel universe as a transverse spume of pure cosmic energy[1].
