Real Life Sources of Room Disorder
Over the course of the past few sections, we have
considered theoretical situations in which objects are
placed randomly throughout a room. We will now consider real
life sources for untidy rooms. While there are many
different methods to dirty a room (more than we could
possibly discuss) we will attempt to study the more common
sources.
1: Laziness
One of the biggest sources of disorder in rooms is often
simply laziness. Examples of this are everywhere. For
example: a person doesn't put their clothes in the dirty
laundry before going to bed, or a child doesn't clean up his
toys after using them. The truth is, it takes work to put
things away. Things that require work require energy, which
often times people are not willing to use.
2: Gravity
While arguably not the biggest source of randomness in
rooms, gravity can bring many things crashing to the ground
causing a big mess. Furthermore, since gravity naturally
pulls objects towards the center of mass, gravity offers a
methods of reducing the work required to put things away.
