The law of increasing entropy is a fundamental principle in cosmic sociology.
It states that in any natural process, the total disorder or "entropy" of an isolated system will never decrease. Decay is the eternal theme of the universe, applying not just to the laws of thermodynamics, but to stars, black holes, biological life, and even entire civilizations.
"Nothing in the universe lasts forever. Even an advanced Interstellar Civilization will eventually decline and perish. Therefore, the metric of 'civilizational entropy' is used to measure the degree of internal chaos within a society."
"We can assume that the more orderly a civilization is, the lower its entropy; conversely, the more chaotic it is, the higher its entropy."
"The increase of a civilization's entropy is a spontaneous process, but a society can employ certain methods to control the rate at which its entropy grows."
So, how does a society prevent a rapid spike in civilizational entropy?
