  • syntropy of

  • concept that emerges from different fields of science and mathematics, often contrasted with entropy

  • while entropy is associated with disorder, randomness

    • and the tendency of systems to move towards thermodynamic equilibrium
  • syntropy is linked to the opposite—order, complexity

  • scientific perspectives

    • thermodynamics
      • while entropy is a central concept in thermodynamics
      • syntropy isn’t traditionally a thermodynamic quantity
      • however, it has been used in discussions about living systems
      • which seem to locally decrease entropy through processes like metabolism and growth
      • creating order from disorder
    • biology
      • in biological systems, syntropy may describe the processes that lead
      • for example, dna replication, cell differentiation, and the development of organisms
      • can be seen as syntropic processes where order increases
    • cybernetics and systems theory
      • study of self-organizing systems
      • these are systems that, instead of degrading into disorder, as entropy would suggest
      • develop increasing levels of complexity and coherence
    • quantum mechanics
      • some interpretations of quantum mechanics and theories of time involve syntropy
      • where future states of a system influence the present
      • creating a pull towards organization and coherence
  • syntropy vs. entropy
