Negative Entropy

The opposite of entropy is known as negentropy, also negative entropy, or syntropy. While entropy refers to the measure of disorder, randomness, or energy loss within a system (tending towards chaos and increasing over time according to the second law of thermodynamics), negentropy represents order, organization, and structure—essentially things becoming more organized and functional.

Negentropy is a temporary condition in which systems become more highly ordered than their surroundings. Examples of negentropy include life processes that convert less ordered materials into more ordered biological structures and social systems that organize chaos into useful order. Negentropy is often described as the force or characteristic of attraction, counterbalancing entropy’s characteristic of repulsion
