Truly Formless 5GW: Comment

Abbott, Dan. "Younghusband, Chirol’s right. Beautiful graphics. Mad beautiful!...." Coming Anarchy. March 10, 2006. http://cominganarchy.com/2006/03/10/truly-formless-5gw/#comment-73124 (accessed September 8, 2007).

A description of xGW is offered which stresses the viability of each succeeding generation of war with respect to prior generations:

Every generation of war is a qualitative shift. One way of thinking that is that it allows an opponent to win at a something like 20x disadvantage against an earlier generation of war. So 20 5GWers could defeat 400 4GWers, who could defeat 8000 3GWers, who could defeat 160000 2GWers, etc.
