Can't stop thinking about this.
Looked up some words, here are my own versions for TL;DR:
Entropy (physics): things fall apart 💩
Enthalpy (physics): things hold energy ☀
Entelechy* (philosophy): beauty and meaning happen 🌻
This new, postulated, law: does it verge on making that last one a law of physics? 🤯
* my fav 💓

Proposed: The "Law of Increasing Functional Information" "You have a universe that keeps mixing things up and then trying out new possibilities," Hazen says, adding that it encompasses biological evolution, too. Things that work are selected for, he adds. "That works on nonliving worlds, and it works on living worlds. It's just a natural process that seems to be universal." 🤔 @[email protected] https://mastodon.social/@axios/111278860703688388
