Title: P2: P2 Evolution Of Systems. [2025-07-09 Wed] everything we see strives for greater energy through the path of low energy consumption. The process reduces local entropy at the expense of increasing entropy elsewhere, which aligns with the Second Law. All suggests that systems require middle path like in Buddha metaphor that a lute string produces a pleasant #dailyreport #universe #systems #synchronization #evolution #symmetry #selforganization #coupling #energy

Title: P1: P2 Evolution Of Systems. [2025-07-09 Wed] I think the "Second Law of Thermodynamics" not allow to say: how the exchange of energy and mass of a system with outer space impacts its self-organization process. And how to measure self-organization - is entropy the correct metric? But energy is indeed an important resource in the self-organization process, and #dailyreport #universe #systems #synchronization #evolution #symmetry #selforganization #coupling #energy
