Your explication of these terms is wonderful and I hate to throw them out as
frivilous for that reason, nevertheless, duty calls. Humanity has two
hundred and three major gripes. I'll tackle the first three.
(1) No food.
(2) No money.
(3) No sex.
Get out the razor for a quick shave. Entities must not be multiplied beyond
what is necessary.
No food = Predation. Some other predator got the food, or convinced the
populace that the money for food must be given to him as a tax break instead of
as
a subsidy for the local mission cafeteria.
No money = Predation. Some other predator got the money and/or prevented the
rest of the predatory populating from distributing it.
No sex = Predation, Gravity, or both. If you don't have enough money or
success to be sexually attractive, it's predation. If you are too fat to be
attractive or too old, that's gravity. Or you could be both unattractive and
unsuccessful, in which case both gripes are working against you.
It really ALL is about gravity and predation. I know. I checked. My book
about it is forthcoming from Hyena Press. It's a weighty tome, natch.
