Murphion conservation

Part of quantum murphydynamics, we have conservation of murphions:

  1. If a thing is fixed, another thing will break.

  2. If a problem is prevented, another failure will become possible.

Not really conservation, as the number of things that break can be greater than one.

Murphon/antimurphon pairs can be generated spontaneously, through interaction with matter. It's not yet clear if antimurphons are like neutrinos, in that they may have a low probability of interacting with matter, or if they are absorbed in preventing things like proton decay.

Getting an attack of the sads again from this.

we've been plagued by these at work. Comma separated values seems like a simple thing, until you try to handle them from the real world.
