Iâm confused, arenât those switched? I thought entropy was going from chaotic life to orderly death, from hot and moving to cold and still.
I think the confusion is the point this piece is trying to make.
No, the whole point is that your default reaction is to go âbut the bottom one is ordered!â because it looks neat and human. Ignoring the order of nature, where things may look strange to us but have their place.
Chaos is a city block, with straight lines on a landscape, regardless of what was there before. Order is a beautiful fractal of streams turning into rivers, turning into the sea
Order is functional, Chaos is when nothing connects to what it needs to.
