Thanks to Judith, Dan and David for the warm welcome
in my first appearance in this list. I will continue in the attitude of
listening and learning. I am not in the capacity to maintain a conversation
with you because of my language (English) limitations and limited understanding
of the themes. I admired very much the work of Robert Rosen. I am doing my best
effort to comprehend his writings. Because of the recent dialog between Judith and Dan
in which the concepts of entropy-syntropy appears, it could be interesting to
you the following description of the work of Luigi Fantappie.
The links below contain some interesting information. “This work describes the qualities and
implications, in the field of psychology, of two principles which can be
observed in the physical and biological world: the principle of entropy and the
principle of syntropy. The description of the qualities of entropic and
syntropic phenomena can be found in the works of Luigi Fantappiè, one of the
major Italian mathematicians, who, while working on quantum mechanics and
special relativity, discovered that all physical and chemical phenomena, which
are determined by causes placed in the past, are governed by the principle of
entropy, while all those phenomena which are attracted towards causes which are
placed in the future (attractors), are governed by a principle which is
symmetrical to entropy and which Fantappiè named syntropy. As it is well known, entropy is a consequence of the
second principle of thermodynamics, which states that in every transformation
of energy (for example transforming heat into work),
some of the energy is lost in the environment. When energy reaches a state of
uniform distribution, and no more variations of heat or energy exist, a state
of equilibrium is reached, and it is no longer possible to change energy into
work. This state of equilibrium is known as “entropic death”. Syntropy
instead is characterized by the concentration of energy, and by the creation of
differences, order, and the ability to maintain the system without
“entropic death”. http://www.sintropia.it/english/antonella.htm> http://www.sintropia.it/english/syntropy1.htm http://www.sintropia.it/english/science.htm Rodrigo. |
