The First (ego) Law of Chaos: Truth is Different for Everyone

At first glance, this might sound like an empowering idea—after all, isn’t personal truth what gives us individuality, freedom, and perspective? But when looked at closely, this belief doesn’t lead to freedom at all. Instead, it becomes a self-replicating trap, where no one questions their own perception, and reality bends only to fit their personal narrative.

When everyone has their own truth, there is no shared reality—only competing realities, endlessly reinforcing themselves. People don’t seek the Truth of God; they seek validation of their existing beliefs. They surround themselves with others who believe the same thing, forming collective ego-truths that become stronger and more impenetrable over time. The First Law of Chaos doesn’t just encourage illusion—it creates a self-sustaining fractal, a system that rebuilds itself every time a contradiction appears.

I already wrote about fractals a few days ago, but let me try to bring these two concepts together.

The fractal of false truth: How the triangle rebuilds Itself

The Sierpiński gasket is a fractal that is mathematically designed to be indestructible. No matter how much you remove, the pattern rebuilds itself in the same structure. If one part collapses, another part grows to take its place.

Now, let’s apply this to a political movement based on loyalty rather than Truth. Imagine an American Republican voter who, deep down, begins to sense contradictions in the movement they’ve supported for years.

They see that the economy is getting worse for working people.

They notice that the policies they believed in aren’t benefiting them.

They realize that the leader they trusted has broken promise after promise.

At this moment, they should step back and reconsider their position. But instead, they remain trapped in a self-replicating triangle of belief, where new justifications always appear to replace the old ones.

If the economy worsens? “It’s because of immigrants.”

If jobs disappear? “It’s the deep state sabotaging him.”

If their leader lies? “He’s fighting against corrupt elites, and they’re trying to bring him down.”

Each time reality threatens to break the structure, a new justification regenerates in its place. The voter does not escape—their thinking simply moves to the next smaller triangle inside the fractal, but the pattern remains.

Why? Because they are not searching for The Truth of God, but for a way to preserve their version of the truth….their own truth! The First Law of Chaos makes sure of that. If truth is “whatever I want it to be,” then contradictions don’t destroy the system—they only force it to reshape itself into a slightly different but equally false structure.

The real danger lies in how the triangle expands..how big the collective ego mind expands A single person might have doubts, but when surrounded by others who reinforce the same beliefs, the collective structure becomes even stronger. How? Well, by using right-wing media outlets constantly rebuilding the narrative to explain away contradictions. And by social media creating echo chambers, where dissenting opinions are filtered out. And let’s not forget family, friends, and local communities pressuring individuals to stay loyal, reinforcing the fractal instead of questioning it.

Instead of a single person trapped in illusion, a network of interconnected triangles forms—an entire self-replicating belief system, where the shared “truth” is nothing more than a fragile structure designed to protect the ego.

The result? A system that endlessly feeds itself, becoming more extreme with every cycle. Even when cracks appear, the collective belief adapts and restores itself in a slightly different form, making it even harder to break…and the Truth of God is almost lost in this intricate web of the ego.

If the Sierpiński gasket cannot be destroyed, how does someone break free from it? The answer is recognition—but recognition alone is not enough.

A republican voter f.e. who sees the contradictions but refuses to act on them is still inside the fractal. A person who notices the pattern but remains silent is still reinforcing the system. Even someone who questions their leader but clings to the movement itself is simply shifting to another part of the triangle, not leaving it.

To truly break free, a person must be willing to step outside the system entirely, which means facing ego-death—the painful realization that their “truth” was never Truth at all.

The First Law of Chaos says that everyone has their own truth—but this belief is precisely what allows false realities to perpetuate themselves forever. If truth is a personal choice rather than a recognition of what is, then no contradiction will ever be strong enough to collapse the system. When people live inside fractals of self-reinforcing illusions, no external force can break them free. The only way out is within—by choosing to see beyond the triangle, beyond personal truth, and toward something greater than belief itself.

The real question is: Who is ready to step outside?

With love and light,
