"You can't just avoid all risk, because it will lead to entropy, " he says.
This serves as a crude model of entropy, Smolyaninov says, representing the thermodynamic arrow of time.
FORBES: University of Maryland Researchers Build a Big Bang In Their Lab
And this is what the new television disruptors will be doing as well, minus the entropy part.
FORBES: By Putting Over-the-Air Online Legally, Aereo Clears The Way For ALL TV Everywhere
The information entropy of Chinese characters is 11.3 while the information entropy of English characters is 4.7.
Mobile apps will be limited, for some time to come, to merely presenting highly polished (low-entropy) reports.
FORBES: The 8 Most Important Skills Needed for Cloud Computing Today
The more ordered and complex a system becomes, the more entropy it must dissipate to maintain its existence.
The idea of entropy describes the way in which the Universe heads inexorably toward a higher state of disorder.
How do you give shape to entropy to incessant fables of grievance and collapse?
The length of a zipped file offers a rough-and-ready estimate of its entropy.
As the team continues to grow, both in number of people and product maturity, the entropy also begins to increase.
FORBES: 3 New Year's Resolutions Of A Startup Product Manager
Conversely, each system has an upper limit, due to its level of complexity, of how much entropy it can dissipate.
All functional entities in the universe can be rendered nonfunctional by the ravages of time, entropy, mutation, and what have you.
The idea of entropy is fundamentally an intuitive one - that the Universe tends in general to a more disordered state.
The significance of the linear law is discussed here to introduce the property called the entropy S possessed by our system of billionaires.
But we can posit that since energy and mass are interchangeable, and entropy is an emergent phenomenon, EVERYTIHNG is happening between the frames.
Comparing the entropy of two texts, however, is slightly more complicated.
Measurements of relative entropy were enough to unmask anonymous authors, too.
If the fluctuations from the environment increase beyond that limit, the system, unable to disperse enough entropy into its environment, begins to become internally more entropic, more chaotic.
But the upside surprises of creativity require a low entropy environment of predictable property rights, taxes and other business laws ultimately based on trust in a moral order.
Then came the test: by looking for the minimum amount of relative entropy, it tried to guess which of the nine was the author of a 90th text.
The system of billionaires also possesses the property called entropy.
"In the past 10 to 15 years, there have been many hints from a variety of different disciplines that there was a deep link between entropy production and intelligence, " Dr Wissner-Gross told BBC News.
The host-farm redistribution strategy is of limited value, however, because like any energy-transfer process hyper-parasitic government (the welfare state) is subject to entropy, which means it is able to redistribute less nutrition to parasitic hosts than it saps from non-parasitic hosts.
FORBES: Observations On An Increasingly Parasitic Government
This is the final entropy law from the fertile mind and mathematics of Claude Shannon of MIT and Bell Labs, who defined information as unexpected bits. (Predictable bits convey no information content, no entropy.) Information entropy is measured by its surprisal.
But the idea of "causal entropy" goes further, suggesting that a given physical system not only maximises the entropy within its current conditions, but that it reaches a state that will allow it more entropy - in a real sense, more options - in the future.
Alex Wissner-Gross of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US and Cameron Freer from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, have now put together a mathematical model that ties this causal entropy idea - evident in a range of recent studies - into a single framework.
