Perceptions of Entropy: System chaos and order
Within societal systems and amidst complex global issues, notably those addressed at COP28 (Conference of the Parties), entropy's relevance emerges, reflecting escalating tensions and uncertainties. Natural disasters and incidents have notably risen in frequency over the past decade, reaching a critical convergence perceived as chaos or disorder. Additionally, the dynamic shifts in the stances of governments and organisations often create a sense of a lack of control over the environment, society, and politics.
Seemingly complex systems may initially appear disordered or random, yet they adhere to deterministic laws, revealing patterns that offer a visual depiction of the issue. This chaos within the operational process, existing outside of established structures, involves splitting into separate components and then reconstructing the output to devise alternate solutions.
How might the convergence of critical issues in the future lead to unforeseen societal shifts?
Within this context, where might one find their place?
