Hot Attractors and Area Laws

We introduce a notion of attractors and attractive geometry in the context of static four-dimensional non-extremal black holes, and we establish constraints on the flow of scalars in these black hole backgrounds to ultimately derive area laws pertaining to horizons in these backgrounds that were hitherto known empirically.
