Entropy Explained, with Sheep (2016)

I really think education is mostly about providing higher-level intuitions - making correct thought habitual and thus easy.

Part of what's so attractive about this particular article is how it would mesh with related fields (chemistry, statistics, politics, evolution, astophysics, climate science, etc)

Then explain what is and how this relates to a manifold surface area?

Potential - the great mystery, I’m pretty sure if I nail this I will solve “the grand unified field theory” and/or the “unified theory of everything” though don’t cringe, I think I’m on to something. EVERYTHING is potential. Existential existence is potential. Information is potential. Hungry? An orange is potential for the equilibrium of your hunger.

Whatever light is may be tied in a knot and that is the basis of all matter. Potential is state unresolved. When QM theorists describe the super amplitude which resolves through interference, that super amplitude is universal potential. This gives rise to state. State is NOT the fundamental aspect. There is no smallest particle building up to the universe, there is potential subdividing into smaller particles through resolve. That is potential.

Negative potential is another way of saying wherever potential is not. Like an ion is missing an electron. The negative potential attracts the electron of another. A different way of saying this is “potential distributes to equilibrium” though “negative potential” is technically more descriptive. Heat moves towards lower heat, only technically if heat is at equilibrium everything is still moving wherever the math shows a gap sufficiently for the thermal flux to vibrate (negative potential still exists at thermal equilibrium).

Check out Roger Penrose’s Road to Reality, he devotes chapters to manifold surface areas. Essentially three dimensional space is not honest. Space-time actually has hyper-dimensional curvature (accretion and planetary ecliptics for instance show how spacial distribution forms an axis)

Let’s talk about electricity. Voltage is literally defined as the potential (negative and positive), where an abundance of electron excitation may be closed in a circuit. Entropy is the fundamental force that causes the electrons (the negative is actually the “positive potential”) to rush to the positive side (which is technically the negative potential, don’t blame me lots have noticed this oddity over the century.) if you add resistance, this turns into heat, slowing the entropic property of voltage equilibrium down. This heat could be insulated, which would slow its dissipation (that talk of entropy may be slowed through resistance.) Heat is not entropy, however heat is the final exhaust of all work, making it the obvious measure (thus the laws of thermodynamics.)

Seeing things this way teach us something important which unifies our understanding of “entropy” in both physics and information theory.

For information, toss a handful of marbles (packed and “ordered” by your grip) into the air and entropy will cause them to spread spacially along the “manifold” of the force arc of your toss.

I will post an additional comment with the content of my HN post which was censored. It didn’t include all the explanations, though I worded my whole point more carefully. Thanks again for being more curious than anti-karmic, this one gave me a beating!
