Entropy across disciplines: A unified view of disorder

When we learn about entropy in school or university, we usually only see one side of this complex and fascinating concept. For example, in physics, we talk about "the direction of time" or "the heat death of the universe." In chemistry, we learn that entropy is a type of energy that determines if reactions can happen on their own. In computer science, entropy is about measuring the information carried by a signal, especially for decoding encrypted messages.

Entropy is a big idea that shows up in many fields, and it can seem like we're talking about different things. So, in this video, we'll create a simple overview of entropy across different subjects and explore how it applies in various ways.

Hey everyone, here is a brand-new video for you! Thank you for waiting patiently during this long break. Today, I'm trying out a new format, and I hope you'll enjoy it! I'd love to hear your feedback, so let me know what you think ;)

Surprised by how much my brain needed this. Just wonderful to thread the needle of entropy across all of these disciplines. Fascinating the themes that emerge across different levels of organizational complexity. For example, in Boltzmann's statistical mechanics, even distribution of all particles in the system is the highest entropy state; in an economy, a perfectly equal level of income distribution across economic participants is the highest entropy state, implying that there is some kind of analogous relationship (with regards to entropy) between the position of particles in one system and the distribution of wealth in another.

Welcome back. I was hoping you'll be able to make content again. hopefully you'll be able to be consistent.

Hey, just found this channel and found it to be very interesting and informative. Could you possibly make more videos on the intersection between physics and finance and maybe even the mathematical specifics behind them.

A Multi-Dimensional Framework for Understanding Reality

Nothingness and existence are two sides of the same coin.

1-there is illusion. Reality is made of illusion. Illusion is the whole coin of nothingness-existence. iluusion is all aspects of reality from zero (nothingness) to infinity (existence at its most actualized form). Illusion can be seen in different resolutions and different perspectives. Iluusion is the only paradox that exists. Illusion contains dimentions.


2-there is dimention. each dimention describe a unique concept or property or quality or quantity or relations or changes or anything else. each dimention is unique in its own way but it can be seen as an interaction of infinite other dimentions. in other way each dimention is entangled with illusion and All dimentions are emergent from illusion. dimentions converges toward resolution zero and diverge toward resolution infinity. dimention exists in different resolutions and different perspective.


3-there is resolution. Resolution determines how many Perspective exist in that particular resolution (in a specific dimention). resolution can be any number from zero to infinity. resolusion 0 of all dimentions are literally the same and it is potentiality itself (zero or nothingness). resolution R of a specific dimention contains R perspective of that dimention. Each perspective represents unique information that defines that dimention at that particular resolution and that particular perspective.



4-there is resolution 0. illusion resolution 0 is resolution 0 of all dimentions. illusion resolution 0 is illusion itself at resolution 0. resolution 0 contains no Perspective. The only simple in the world is illusion resolution 0. illusion resolution 0 is nothingness.




5-there is resolution 1. At resolution one, there is one perspective in that dimention. So resolution 1 carries only one type of information. The information present in resolution one is the result of integrating two perspectives in the next resolution (resolution 2). In other words, it can be said that the integration of reality in different resolutions is nothingness.


6-there is resolution infinity. In resolution infinity, there is no integration, and all causes have already occurred with no change left to be made. In resolution infinity, there can be no further differentiation, and there is nothing left to differentiate. Therefore, paradoxically, in resolution infinity, each perspective contains nothingness.

the duty of the mind is to construct a mental image with lower resolution based on a reality with higher resolution. So a large number of perspectives (with higher resolution) can produce the same macroscopic image (possible cause for entropy).

Hey, finally a video after a really long time. I like all of your videos so far. I would love to connect with you over email. Let me know if that's possible.

Somehow I dont think Schroedinger looks like that
