Entropy, Information, and Complexity or Which Aims the Arrow of Time? Scientific Explanation| Chapter 1 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol. 3

In this paper, we examine the interrelationships between concepts like entropy, information, complexity, order, and chaos, and explain how to generalise the second law of thermodynamics as a law of growing generalised entropy or a general law of complification using the theory of categories. This law can be applied to any morphism-based system, including our entire universe and its subsystems. We'll talk about how such a general law, as well as other natural laws, drive the history of the cosmos, including physicochemical and biological evolutions. Furthermore, we identify removing selection in physicochemical evolution as a simplified model of natural selection. By forming structures, the laws of nature do not enable complexity and entropy to reach their maximum values. They could be thought of as a kind of "breeder" of this type of selection. The growth in entropy, information, degrees of freedom, and complexity, all of which increase monotonically with regard to each other, is a measure of time's irreversibility.
