A conscious system tends over time toward coherence, health, and stability in the presence of love, and toward fragmentation, distress, and dysfunction in its absence.
Like other laws, it does not promise perfection. It describes direction. Gravity pulls mass together. Entropy pulls order apart. Love pulls conscious beings toward integration, connection, and repair.
For a long time we treated progress as purely mechanical. Faster systems, better tools, more output. Recent advances in psychology, neuroscience, and even tech culture are quietly saying something else. Mental health, emotional stability, and human connection matter more to outcomes than many of the surface level habits we used to fixate on.
It is a bit like discovering that mental health has a larger impact on longevity and performance than whether someone smokes a cigarette. Not because smoking is good, but because the deeper variable was invisible for a long time.
The Theory of Love frames love as that deeper variable. A stabilizing force in conscious systems. When present, systems integrate and repair. When absent, they fragment. This piece is a reflection on that idea, set to music.
