INSTRUCTIONS: The law of entropy: a system tends to degenerate over time.

It is easy to shatter glass, but difficult to put it back together.
It is easy to create toast, but almost impossible to turn it back into bread.
It is easy to make mistakes. Destroy relationships. Regret choices.

But we know that time is flexible. Now undo.

To explain what I did in short, I did a Praxis on freezing water then thawing it to undo what I had done. Then, I undid that Praxis in order to make a Praxis about undoing my former Praxis

- smaller

I'll be honest, I'm not really feeling this one. Sure, you've done an action and then undone it, but the "undo" returned the water to its more entropic state; ice has a tendency to become water in room temperature, without any intervention.

Now, if you had melted the water and then re-frozen it...

This, on the other hand, I have no qualms about.

Reasonable enough. What else can you tell us about this? Did you fail on purpose to set up this version of undo? Or did you decide after Peter's concerns to undo the failed undo? I'm not sure there's a right answer, I just want to know more about your process and motives.

Okay, truthfully I felt wrong while doing my original task and felt I could do something better. While laying in my bed just before I slipped into unconsciousness this idea popped into my head. It just sounded so ridiculous to me that I had to post it. So in a way it was kind of a 'working off of my mistakes' thing. Also, personally I find it very funny

Ah. Praxis as purgatory.
