1. Incompetence invites The Master…
   • There would be no need for The Master to show their hand if it was not for incompetence.
2. The Master invokes Imitation…
   • Everyone wants to be a Master. At first people who wish to learn in earnest, then slowly evolving to people who only wish to be seen as Masters.
3. Imitation breeds Corruption…
   • At first just to be the one seen as The Master, then evolving to increasingly exploit the position.
4. Corruption creates Incompetence…
   • For the corrupt to maintain power they must fill the positions around them with incompetent people.

1. Incompetence invites The Master…
   • The Master, being a master, knows not to do anything until incompetence has run its course.

This cycle is written in stone. There is no changing, managing, or controlling it.
