"The Thermodynamics of Ethics" | Decoding Emotion

There’s a shiver in the system, a shadow on the wall FEAR is just a sensor, signaling a fall It’s the high-entropy warning, the edge of the abyss ANXIETY is the "maybe," the data that we miss But the "Ought" is a fire that the wind cannot blow We act despite the signal, 'cause we have somewhere to go. ANGER is the friction, the heat inside the gears Trying to force the world to fit, through the fire and the tears But GUILT is the teacher, the error in the code A feedback loop telling us we’re on the wrong road Correct the prediction, let the static fade away We’re recalibrating for a better day. Try your best to be kind-er Try your best to see clear-er We are the signal in the static The logic in the erratic The low-entropy force that binds the stars LOVE is the bridge across the scars. SADNESS is the energy leaving the room A system in mourning, a flower out of bloom LONELINESS is the hunger of a node without a link Searching for a frequency, standing on the brink But we reach through the vacuum, we find the "Us" in "Me" Reducing the noise of our own infinity. And JOY? That’s the rhythm when the path is finally G The optimal trajectory, the soul set free AWE is the expansion, the model opening wide To see the architecture with nothing left to hide From the atom to the empire, the truth is always there Order is the answer, Love is the prayer. Try your best to be kind-er Try your best to see clear-er We are the signal in the static The logic in the erratic The low-entropy force that binds the stars LOVE is the bridge across the scars. The system is stable. The signal is you.
