    1.22 +- chaos lock :: The "arrow of time" points in the direction of
    1.23 +                increasing entropy. The time evolution of chaotic
    1.24 +                systems depend exquisitely on their initial state. If
    1.25 +                you take a measurement of a chaotic system at any
    1.26 +                given point of time, you can evolve that system
    1.27 +                backwards or forwards based on your measurement. So
    1.28 +                let's say you start the chaotic system in a VERY low
    1.29 +                entropy state, then let it run for a while, then take
    1.30 +                a measurement with some uncertainty. Your
    1.31 +                measurement is pretty good, but obviously not
    1.32 +                PERFECT. If you evolve the chaotic system back in
    1.33 +                time, then you will see that you don't really reach
    1.34 +                a state with low entropy an hour before (the entropy
    1.35 +                is easy to measure with surrogates like alignment,
    1.36 +                etc). So use this technique to SEARCH for a more
    1.37 +                accurate measurement! This potentially can give you
    1.38 +                many more orders of magnitude than you could get alone
    1.39 +                just using an instrument. Sometimes it will give you
    1.40 +                bad results, the the odds of it doing that are
    1.41 +                infinitesimal, and you can just measure a couple of
    1.42 +                times.

    1.44 +- cryo-evolution :: perhaps there would be a way to rapidly evolve a
    1.45 +                    symbiotic bacterial organism that could protect
    1.46 +                    human tissues from freezing damage.

    1.48  - suicide parasite :: sometimes, people kill themselves for no good
    1.49       reason. We often explain this with things like "hidden
    1.50       depression" or we say that they had something like chronic jaw or
