From Entropy to Syntropy


Author: Andrej Detela
Year: 2025


The book goes beyond the established Law of Entropy, in order to put it into balance with the emerging Law of Syntropy. Syntropy is the inverse of entropy, and signifies either negative entropy or any self-organizing process in nature. The book aims to provide a fresh scientific understanding of syntropic phenomena that for long have been neglected and forgotten. The unidirectional path from order to chaos is formally canonized as the Law of Entropy, but the time is ripe to supplement it with the path from chaos to order. Both poles do exist, and there is a bidirectional flow between them. Present mainstream science is silent as to the mere existence of syntropy, and it is even more silent as to the related consequences. The author describes several classes of syntropic phenomena in the language of “hard-core” physics, but then he broadens his perspective and presents a different approach to newly discovered levels of reality. A holistic worldview is respected throughout the book. A reader with a broad scope of interests will profit the most from it. Strict reasoning, so key to the natural sciences, is entwined in philosophical and social reflections. This approach can benefit both wings of our intellectual creativity – the natural sciences and the humanities.
