poetics of energy

(trying to structure some random thoughts around)

• decentralisation
• energy
• information
• entropy

entropy is generalized in cybernetics to measure the tendency of any closed system to move from a less to a more probable state, such that information is defined precisely as negative entropy.

• matter

Motion of Systems: Systems can spin. There is at least one axis of rotation of any system. http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/CSynergetics/DisplayCmnt.jsp?sn=400_60 (electromagnetic waves,

The second law of thermodynamics says that energy of all kinds in our material world disperses or spreads out if it is not hindered from doing so. Entropy is the quantitative measure of that kind of spontaneous process: how much energy has flowed from being localized to becoming more widely spread out (at a specific temperature).
