What is the best way to achieve equilibrium in systems of control?

[CD]

Remember how in Star Wars, there was the Force. But it wasn't just about having an uber Jedi master that did happy pretty things,  it was also about the Sith.  And when they found Annakin, they could see that he had a lot of potential to "bring balance to the force";  but what the didn't seem to realise is the balance he would achieve would be to become an uber Sith Master - Vader.  In this universe, the Happy Pretty Jedi and the Ugly Mean Sith were aspects of the same force.  When in equilibrium, in balance, The Force was doing it's job.  That meant good and evil co-existing.

So with that in mind, let's discard the terms 'good' and 'evil'  and 'force' and for the sake of argument, replace it with the terms 'power', 'control' and 'influence'.  And consider the proposition that when one influence has the most power, it takes control, so that the other influence has to seek power, in order to take control.  And this creates a tug of war between the two influences, which, for the sake of argument, could be anything, and there need not only be two influences.

N influences >0  (potentially infinite)

N control = 1

N power = 1

Equilibrium would be achieved when all influences in the system have equal amounts of power and therefore, equal amounts of control.  But....with the tug of war raging....how do we get to equilibrium?  And, have we ever done that?

I don't particularly know.  I'm not really well versed in the expanded universe of Star Wars.  Though if they are obsessive with the light side of the force being the only side of the force that ought to be used they could try to install themselves as a ruling power. 

Alternatively, they could be apathetic towards people who cannot connect with the Force.

I have no concept of the expanded Star Wars universe but it seems to be a useful analogy.

Uhm, ok would they still be fighting any new jedi or sith that may appear?  i.e. would there be a maintainence cost of their successs

Well if it wiped out the jedi and the siths they would rule. Politicans suck big hairy ones.

[CD]

what do you mean by rule?  would they "be in charge"  or are you using the term in it's casual sense, such as "that rules man i like it!"?

[Latch33570]

In charge. If a third party killed off the jedi and the sith who else to challenge them.

[CD]

Ah of course.  What kind of rulers would they be?

[Latch33570]

Dicktaters cause they are dicks.

[Latch33570]

Yes they would CD

Back to the A word. Real or not IMHO (or not so humble) real. At least I hope so. I want to believe but seeing is believing and I ain't seen s***.

If you're talking about aliens then I haven't seen one but I have seen UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena).

Dicktaters cause they are dicks.

I will never look at a swede the same again.

[Latch33570]

Well tell about your UAP i call it a UFO.

Keep fighting nerds.

[CD]

Don't you mean nerd-fighting?

Actually UAP is the correct acronym, because UFO has been conflated with aliens.  I have never seen an alien.  Just a big red ruby.
