Entropy is the supreme law of the Universe, which illustrates that systems tend toward disorder, chaos, and destruction on all planes of existence unless energy is put into the system. In other words, nothing is permanent.

statistical entropy, a measure of configurational disorder.

Shannon entropy

One shouldn’t necessarily think of information in terms of meaning. Rather, one might think of it in terms of its ability to resolve uncertainty. Information provided a recipient with something that was not previously known, was not predictable, was not redundant. “We take the essence of information as the irreducible, fundamental underlying uncert

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

Well, the mathematical equation for Shannon’s uncertainty, which measures the amount of ignorance one has concerning the information in a message, is the same expression used to calculate Boltzmann’s statistical entropy, a measure of configurational disorder.

the buildup of information with input energy in ecosystems is actually quite slow and sublinear (bS < 1).
