| rdfs:comment | - The fundamental idea on which all Murphydynamics is based is that the least convenient outcome will always occur. In order to be reconciled with the Laws of Physics, this requires that convenience has energy. This means that it is always harder to achieve a convenient outcome, and that convenience is inherently unstable. This means that when convenience is converted into inconvenience, energy is produced. In a practical example, a bucket of paint on top of a door will hit the person who is wearing the most expensive clothing, as this puts it in the lowest possible energy state. It may be less convenient for a rock to suddenly fly up from the ground and hit your best friend's head, but the energy produced would be insufficient to launch the rock in the first place.

It may be less convenient for a rock to suddenly fly up from the ground and hit your best friend's head, but the energy produced would be insufficient to launch the rock in the first place. The condition that must be satisfied to test if something can go wrong is that the energy required to make it happen must be more than or equal to the energy obtained from the inconvenience. The energy obtainable is a function of the inconvenience caused, and is equal to the change in convenience, measured in fails (Ω), multiplied by the Murphy Constant. The Murphy Constant is represented by a noncapital Greek letter iota, symbolising the amount that anybody cares.
