a general theory of a problem
this essay offers a general theory of problems, proposing that problems are actually misfits or disintegrated information. i define a problem as the conceptual space where this disintegration is observed. i then introduce two secondary definitions: one inspired by curtis yarvin, focusing on regime-changing political problems, and the other inspired by venkatesh rao, addressing human coordination challenges. these definitions provide a framework for understanding the various forms of problems we face in society. ultimately, the essay explores how different types of problems require different approaches and solutions.
