Poseidon's Law: All Bottoms Are Theoretical

Poseidon's Law is the aphorism "All bottoms are theoretical." It describes the principle that any apparent lowest point in failure, incompetence, misfortune, deterioration, absurdity, or disappointment should be regarded only as a provisional minimum, since further decline remains possible. This record establishes the canonical formulation, intended meaning, and attribution to Yanis K. Poseidon.
