Consider the following Thought Experiment:
Let's assume for a moment that the "six degrees of separation" theory is true. (six can in-fact be any number so long as it is some valid number)
Let's also assume that for every person to whom you bestow a good deed, pays that kindness forward at a rate P, where P > 0;
Then it can be mathematically proven that given sufficient acts of kindness, eventually, a loop will occur where the good deed has propagated back to the source, thus proving Karma to be True.
- smithmayowa 8y agoThanks for your reply, I have sadly never heard of the six degrees of separation theory, but I will give it a look up, but then what happens if certain people (or a lot of people, consider ing the fact we are talking about humans here) in your kindness path "graph" do not pay it forward I.e their P rate is 0?
- blackflame7000 8y agoI would argue that there are very few people whose P rate is actually zero. AKA someone who has never done a good dead in their lives. I don't believe there are enough Karma Sinks to outnumber the Karma Sources and propagators. Even at very small P values, while yes the propagation time is longer, loops will still appear. Now the question is what is the average P value, and how many good deeds must one do to realistically see a Loop within their lifetime. The answer is that the likelihood of small loops is fairly high even with low P-Rates assuming someone performs say 1 good deed per day.
