#2> entropy is just a fancy word for ‘number of possible arrangements’
It isn’t though.
Entropy is a fancy word for potential distribution over negative potential. Negative potential is the “surface area” over which potential may distribute. The “number of possible arrangements” casually fits into this, yet misses some unintuitive possibilities, like the resistive variance or other characteristics not preempted by who ever constructed the intellectual model.
Idealists insist entropy is a scalar state resolve of delta probability in their model. They are self deceived. Entropy is the existential tendency for potential to distribute toward equilibrium.
As long as boffins can throw away results that do not correlate, they can insist it is anything they like.

#3Also, one should check out Tenet, it's a pretty authoritative resource about this as well.

How so? That film is a narrative mess with some good action scenes an not much more.
If you want to reference a relevant sci-fi, I'd say Asimov's The Last Question is a better fit.

I don't understand this. Please elucidate.

Consider that if you Google for `"resistive variance" entropy`, the only hit is for the hn comment.
It doesn't make sense because what they wrote makes no sense. Probably some looney with their own definition of entropy.

Well, this looney likes to point out that the manifold surface area (which is not always uniform) determines the rate of or density of distribution. All this is accounted for in the math selected for whichever for instance (“number of possible states” would count them) though a superior definition is one which is the most general technically correct without enumerating exceptions or extraneous clauses.
Resistance controls the rate of flow of any potential. That you cannot parse English without an exact match of phrase is kind of ironic.
I guess when arguing convention I shouldn’t be too casual with my own language.
Entropy is the distribution of potential over negative potential. In every case. Period. All the other words we use describe how this happens in a specific context (thermal or information).
Can you find an established definition that can be more succinctly regarded as this?
Also I like insisting it is a phenomenon of existential reality, not a conceptual tool of the human mind.

That's because it's nonsense.

#10I appreciate the explanation, but the very first example doesn't sit well with me. Water forming into ice cubes spontaneously looks weird simply because we’re not used to seeing it. Consider a time-lapse of an icicle forming as a sort of counter-example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mmHQft7-iSU
(Not refuting entropy as the order of time at all, just noting a visual example is not great evidence.)
