@Alrenous ... Strictly speaking the 'entropy' of a system is just the logarithm of its permutational scale (as in Boltzmann's equation).

@Alrenous The actualized entropy-max macrostate is the precise definition of tediousness, even if it's fizzing with virtual microstates.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Outsideness Macroscale variation requires microscale non-variation.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@Alrenous I guess my quibble, is whether 'variation' is being used consistently. Sure, utter chaos can happen in a massive number of ways.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Alrenous ... but any actualized entropy maximization is no closer to alternative disorders (in microstate terms) than it is to order.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Alrenous ... Only when judged as a (disordered) macrostate does it share any characteristics with its alt-chaos versions.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Outsideness The alt-chaos versions can and do reversibly evolve into each other, so that's an interesting definition of 'closer.'1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Outsideness For systems that can be modelled using the simplified ln (states) equation, that's untrue.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
