Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. What if structure isn't designed against entropy-but with it? We see the results everywhere-branches, veins, roadways, coral, capillaries, rivers. Patterns that seem to recur across nature and civilization, across scale and time. But we rarely ask the deeper question: Why do things take shape at all? Built by Entropy reveals how structure emerges as a response to energy in motion. This poetic and illustrated science-philosophy book introduces readers to ODC-Optimally Dissipative Configuration-a principle showing that systems which survive are those that help energy spread. Whether shaped by evolution, erosion, or engineering, lasting structures don't fight entropy. They serve it. In this book, you'll explore: Why cities, roots, lightning bolts, and blood vessels follow the same basic patternHow energy creates complexity as it moves outwardHow trees grow, not by design, but by solving a physical problemWhy anything that holds together tends to help energy come apartThis book helps us recognize a deeper law-one not added to nature, but drawn from it: a universal law of creation, woven into the flow of energy and time. One that builds through breakdown, finds order in the fall, and leaves behind structures that seem to think, grow, and adapt. Built by Entropy is the second volume in the Entropy - The Sentient Series, a ten-book journey exploring how everything that endures-life, cities, tools, belief systems, even you-emerges as part of a thermodynamic pattern. With elegant language and striking imagery, this book shows that structure is no accident.It's the shape that energy leaves behind when it finds a better way through. Welcome to the ODC Universe.What holds us together was never random. This item is printed on demand.
