In an alternate universe, the second law of thermodynamics is reversed for manufactured objects: items become better and more refined the more they are used, rather than wearing out. A crude stone knife sharpens to razor perfection with practice. This inversion of entropy creates a radically different economics and sociology where labor-intensive use is the source of all value.
Models paradigm coexistence: what if two incompatible explanatory frameworks were both literally true? Relevant to science-religion tensions and the challenge of incommensurable worldviews.
