The Empirical Relationship Between “Fucking Around and “Finding Out”

Here is the visualized data representing the Law of FAFO across three different experimental environments.

This graph demonstrates the Slope of Consequence (k), which dictates how quickly the "Finding Out" phase escalates relative to the input of "Fucking Around."

Analysis of the Curves

1. The Green Curve (Low k): Ignoring an Alarm Clock
   • Slope: Gentle (k \approx 0.5).
   • Interpretation: You can "fuck around" (hit snooze) multiple times with relatively low immediate consequences. The "finding out" (being late) accumulates slowly. This often leads to a false sense of security.
2. The Orange Curve (Medium k): Ignoring the "Check Engine" Light
   • Slope: Moderate (k \approx 2.0).
   • Interpretation: There is a clearer 1:1 correlation. For every unit of ignoring the light (FA), the cost of the repair (FO) increases proportionally. It is a predictable, linear path to an empty wallet.
3. The Red Curve (High k): Insulting a Honey Badger
   • Slope: Extreme (k \approx 10.0).
   • Interpretation: This represents a highly volatile system. Even a fractional unit of "fucking around" results in a catastrophic amount of "finding out." In scientific terms, this is known as a Non-Survivable Event Horizon.

Conclusion

As the graph shows, the objective is to identify the Severity Constant (k) of your environment before initiating the "Fucking Around" phase. Science dictates that if k > 5, you should cease all activity immediately.
