Entropy = Increasing Disorder? Think Again... Contextually Dependent Entropy?

from Wiki:

Order and disorder[edit]

Entropy is often loosely associated with the amount of order or disorder, or of chaos, in a thermodynamic system. The traditional qualitative description of entropy is that it refers to changes in the state of the system and is a measure of "molecular disorder" and the amount of wasted energy in a dynamical energy transformation from one state or form to another. In this direction, several recent authors have derived exact entropy formulas to account for and measure disorder and order in atomic and molecular assemblies.[62][63][64] One of the simpler entropy order/disorder formulas is that derived in 1984 by thermodynamic physicist Peter Landsberg, based on a combination of thermodynamics and information theory arguments. He argues that when constraints operate on a system, such that it is prevented from entering one or more of its possible or permitted states, as contrasted with its forbidden states, the measure of the total amount of "disorder" in the system is given by:[63][64]

Disorder =  Cd/Ci

Similarly, the total amount of "order" in the system is given by

:Order = 1 - Co/Ci

In which CD is the "disorder" capacity of the system, which is the entropy of the parts contained in the permitted ensemble, CI is the "information" capacity of the system, an expression similar to Shannon's channel capacity, and CO is the "order" capacity of the system.[62]

\\Nope, feel free to regale me with a telling.

Long story short.

Actually, it totally opposite to other story "slow boiled frog".

Frog fell into milk... and to not drown it started kicking so much... that it created... butter. ;-P

Yeah... I know... lame. :-)

Boiled frog == way more realistic.




\\Why do you think they gave them to you? My answer - Cuz they prefer soft-kills.

Doing hard-kill... to make it softer???

Well... magical thinking, meh, it sees confirmation... in everything. Yawn.

No, they gave you their hard-kill weapons because they're saving their soft-kill ones for themselves.... and you're probably part of it.

Yep.


"magical thinking, meh, it sees confirmation... in everything."(tm)


Yawn.


While Reality is -- they just a SMALL country. Which need to think about PREVENTION of disasters... instead of waiting for, or even feeding em to became even bigger... so then fight against it would be worthy. ;-P

Think about it...

like in your disaster fi... movie. Like about vulcan eruption... in the middle of Los Angeles???

For you... even mayor of it will not start scratching.

For Luxemburg -- that'll be UTMOST topic for their top bras.

Because?

Because ALL Luxemburg would be devastated with it.

While for USA... yawn, and how many time that Los Angeles was burned down to a crisp... and then rebuilt?

Yawn.

\\...as Napoleon would have said, "perfidious Albion!"

In times of Napoleon it was empire under which Sun do not sunset.

And today... that is just mediocre country. That exited out of big alliance even.

Infested with mediocre country problems (like with socialism in their medic services, immigrants and etc)

And now even do not hold a grip on it's "historical territories" (Scotland Referendum, Miserly chank of Ireland)

Two steps forward, one step back. Sometimes you just need to know when to step back. :)

Immigrants?

Socialism?

Oh, no... that was "one step back... to move full throttle forward". :-)))

That is how they think about Ukrainian children -- children they say/claim OWN KIN.

Why you think that to USA children... they will behave less violent????

I still cannot wrap my head around it.

Nope... just a stupid kid saving "democracy".

Yeah?

And organizing "breach in security" purely by himself.

It seems your passed past Uvalde Syndrome. Directly into Butler Syndrome -- that is when security officers completely THRUG OFF their duty from their shoulders. Under guise "I tried... but I was pointed gun at... sca-a-a-a-arry".

Bleh.

Say... about CNN.

Is it usual -- to cut on-line translation, at moments of shutting or something?

And that "we heard loud sounds... maybe fireworks" -- is it ordinary too, to call gunshots that way???

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

It is if you're a CIA DoS cutout.

CNN - Lyin' for a livin'!

Anonymous said...

No.

I mean... yes.

But.

Question is -- is there such a standard??? Or something?

Or... that is their PLANNED behavior.

Because -- they did NOT look surprised.

Even NOT tried to FEINT being surprised.

Just CUT OFF on-line translation. And started explaining what happens... ON WORDS.

(and you KNOW already my attitude toward mere words... especially from "truth tellers"... yawn)
