1/ 9 Laws of God - @kevin2kelly
2/ Distribute being.
3/ Control from the bottom up.
4/ Cultivate increasing returns.
5/ Grow by chunking.
6/ Maximise the fringes. In heterogeneity is creation of the world. A uniform entity must adapt to the world by earth-shattering revolutions, one of which is sure to kill it. A diverse heterogeneous entity, on the other hand, can adapt to the world in a 1000 daily minirevolutions, staying in a state of permanent churning. Diversity, a healthy fringe speeds adaptation, increases resilience, and is almost always the source of innovations.
7/ Honour your errors. A trick will only work until everyone else is doing it. To advance from the ordinary requires a new game, or a new territory. But the process of going outside the conventional method, game, or territory is indistinguishable from error.
8/ Pursue no optima; Pursue no optima; have multiple goals. In creating something from nothing, forget elegance; if it works, it's beautiful.
9/ Seek persistent disequilibrium. Neither constancy nor relentless change will support a creation, must balance the stable formula with frequent out-of-kilter notes. Equilibrium is death.  A Something is persistent disequilibrium -- a continuous state of surfing forever on the edge between never stopping but never falling. Homing in on that liquid threshold is the still mysterious holy grail of creation and the quest of all amateur gods.
10/ Change changes itself. If the rules of the game are composed from the bottom up, then it is likely that interacting forces at the bottom level will alter the rules of the game as it progresses. Over time, the rules for change get changed themselves.  To get the most out of nothing, you need to have self-changing rules.
