This is because the distribution of arrival times to the meeting is asymmetrically distributed at or past the scheduled start time.

The functional starting time of a meeting is, thus not a constant but a variable, proportional to its intended population, but conditioned by the cultural disposition of its members. A meeting in Switzerland will start on time regardless of how many attendees are expected due to the overwhelming power of ''[[früheankunftfreude]]'', whose effects are barely felt in London. | The functional starting time of a meeting is, thus not a constant but a variable, proportional to its intended population, but conditioned by the cultural disposition of its members.

Consequently, there is thus a lower ''and'' an upper bound on the number of people possible in a viable meeting of a given duration. When combined with {{buchstein}}’s ''[[Convenimus ergo es|convenimus]]'' maxim, the First Law leads to the apparent [[paradox]] that, to be meaningful, a meeting must have more than one, but fewer than two, people. | |||
There is a school of [[catholic]] thought that this is absolutely ''not'' a paradox, but is rather a profound truth about the commercial universe. | |||
As with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in physics, there are logical indeterminacies involved with congregating in a business environment. these have led to a recent extension of the [[JC]]’s first law, thus: | As with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in physics, there are logical indeterminacies involved with congregating in a business environment. these have led to a recent extension of the [[JC]]’s first law, thus: | ||
