+- Everything costs energy
+- Time is always ticking
+- Health gates everything
+- Networks multiply power
+- Knowledge reduces waste
+- Drive determines limits
+- Systems resist change
+
+3. Practical Applications:
+- Your mind finds paths
+- Your body executes
+- Your drive pushes through
+- Or you stay trapped
+- No one saves you
+- Systems don't care
