Try and remember this: It ain’t about inspiration. It’s about going into a room alone and doing it.
-William Goldman
Imagine a string of Christmas lights.
This string can assume an infinite amount of spontaneous configurations. It can be a straight line, the ends can cross over the middle, or the string can be wrapped around itself in any number of variations.
Statistically speaking, the number of configurations resulting in the string tying itself into a knot along points of contact far outweigh the chances of the string remaining tangle free. If the string is exposed to motion- such as being put in a box and packed away in the attic- the odds of the string remaining knotless reduce astronomically.
Therefore, we can conclude that the string naturally tends toward greater knottiness.
And once a knot has formed, it is unlikely to come undone.
