Parasites Don’t Author. They Only Copy.
You can copy my trades. You can copy my words. But you can’t copy my authorship.
You are like ‘Made in Chinaaaaa’ or ‘Made in Vietnam’
Imitation is not creation.
Copying the form of something without grasping its essence is parasitism — feeding off the host while adding nothing of your own.
Authorship vs Copying
Authorship collapses variance. It sets tempo. It creates memory where none existed. Each burst is original, irreversible, lossless.
Copying feeds on variance. It hides in hedges, waits for signals, and copies after the fact. No memory, no recursion, no abundance.
A copycat can mimic your moves.
It can repeat your phrases.
It can dress in your style - unlikely.
But it cannot collapse variance.
It cannot produce inevitability.
Why Copycats Fail
No recursion. Copies don’t build system memory; they vanish once the host moves.
No lossless energy. Copying is wasteful — a drag, not a push.
No presence. A copycat can’t author tempo; at best, it reacts.
The Parasite Dynamic
Parasitism feels threatening only if you think in terms of scarcity.
But in systems of abundance, parasites expose themselves.
They highlight the difference between the host (who authors) and the hanger-on (who consumes).
