Editor’s note: In addition to tracking technological advancements and innovations, our author is a Juilliard-trained composer. Listen to “Election Correction”, an original improvisation by Howard Lieberman, performed for this column. https://berkshireedge-images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Correction-Election.mp3 The recent election has generated an enormous amount of commentary. Political analysts are examining voting patterns, historians are drawing parallels with earlier periods, and experienced government officials are explaining what may happen next. These perspectives have value, but they are largely concerned with the behavior of people operating within political systems. I am interested in something more fundamental: the behavior of the systems themselves. The universe does not operate according to political preferences, party affiliations, or accumulated wealth. It operates according to natural laws.
