Claim. SMM teaches that true love operates on an economics of abundance — unlike material energy, the more true love is invested, the more it expands.
Elaboration. The principle is stated sharply: “True love does not become smaller as it is invested, but grows bigger and bigger the more it moves” (1.1.-the-work-of-creation-required-complete-investment, 237-124, 1992.11.13). The contrast with ordinary thermodynamics is deliberate: “According to the laws of dynamics in nature, the more things move and operate, the less you have… but in the world of true love, things expand the more they move” (ibid, 237-127, 1992.11.13).
The investment ratio is sometimes made explicit: “If you invest 100 units of true love, 120 will come back” (219-118, 1991.8.28). This grounds the paradox of why God could deplete Himself in creation without perishing — the return from a perfected love partner exceeds the cost.
The claim is a hard one for any framework that treats love as a finite psychological resource. The counter moves are worth a thread: either the claim is metaphorical, or it asserts a genuine ontological asymmetry in how love behaves versus matter.
