Entropy-Syntropy.



 

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”.
