Part VI: The Geometry of Decay
In the mathematics of dissolution, we find not chaos but exquisite order—patterns that govern how things fall apart.
Overview
This part explores the mathematical structures underlying collapse and decay. We discover that dissolution follows precise geometric patterns, that entropy has its own aesthetics, and that the mathematics of falling apart reveals deep truths about the nature of reality itself.

The Mathematical Echo
Mathematics reveals that decay is not random but follows profound patterns. In understanding the geometry of decay, we glimpse the hidden order within disorder, the structure within dissolution, and the beauty within breakdown.
