All natural processes – including all human interactions and exchanges – produce entropy as a byproduct. Entropy manifests itself as heat and waste. The amount of entropy in a system […]

This is how Radicalization works
In this article, I discuss radicalization. The degree of radicalization of a social system and its level/amount of entropy are closely related. As I explain in my research, all natural […]
A system always restores equilibrium (eventually)
A gradient can be understood as a “slope”. The gradient of a graph or series of measurements is the rate at which one set of amounts changes in relation to […]
Near criticality: The worrying state of the international system
The (International) System is in a worrying state, as I explain in this article. My research shows that the System produces war-cycles, with remarkable regularity, and that each war-cycle has […]
Eco-terrorism is a matter of time
Eco-terrorism only seems a matter of time. There is always a tendency in systems – including in social systems – to “eradicate” – neutralize – gradients, including entropy-gradients. As discussed […]
Interacting self-fulfilling prophecies: Buildup of tensions
In case of the (State-)System, self-fulfilling prophecies of various ‘actors’ (e.g. societies and decisionmakers of states) – their mutual expectations – interact and shape each other; it is a process […]
Optimization between Order and Disorder and the Role of Chaotic Dynamics
Life – including the sustainment of a dissipative structure as the FTS – requires an intermediary level of entropy: Not too much entropy – too much disorder – and not […]
Social Entropy
Entropy in social systems appears – manifests itself – as tensions. Entropy in social systems appears – manifests itself – as tensions. Tensions – ‘social entropy’ – are generated by […]
