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, and will eventually be consumed by the colossal forces of gravitational tedium, eventually being regurgitated into a parallel universe as an exchange-traded derivatives specialist.
