with reference to "entropy"  


 


order is our mother
order is our father
there is chaos all around us
and there is order in chaos

 

the concept of "entropy",
which comes out of the abstract "laws" (concepts) of thermodynamics,
is that "order" tends towards disorder.
(all the king's horse and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together....)

"thermodynamic" systems are "entropic"

the universe, though, tends towards order!
it is anti-entropic
scientists have been taught that stuff is entropic
Michael and I were discussing "entropy"
scientists are stuck in entropy
"Open your eyes!" I screamed:
and then...


order is our mother
order is our father
there is chaos all around us
and there is order in chaos


write that down, said Michael...

 

later Michael was observing that the body is entropic
(we are both elderly, and the wheels are falling off the bus)
"Yes but the seed is tending to complexity."

Ah, said Michael. There is a dialogue between order and chaos!
