entropy is a measure of the ignorance one has when one does not know the precise state of a system under observation,

entropy can be a measure of the number of states a system can be in or the number of ways it can be configured.

Compressibility and Shannon ’s entropy provide a baseline measure of the intrinsic information content of data. But the health of that data must also relate to how robust it is; how well encoded it is to withstand noise and corruption. And when an organism’s data contains mutual, survival related information about the organism and its environment, t

reducing Shannon entropy, or ignorance, life is able to extract the energy it needs to reduce Boltzmann entropy, or disorder. The growth of knowledge and the spread of organized complexity, therefore, go hand in hand. The second law is the impetus for learning.

higher entropy means that more information can be stored in a system’s microscopic details without changing its overall macroscopic properties.
