“An interesting guess about entropy: entropy grows to allow more options = more entropy It would sound futile, if it didn't seem wrong conclusion about a brilliant idea. They should emphasize that more options isn't more entropy. A choice isn't made into all options possible. That's what life and intelligence means. ”

“After watching this video, I still don't get it. How do you maximize entropy by capturing a ball into a small location... this is clearly a low entropy state. ”, in a comment on Seb Paquet's post “"Wissner-Gross calls the concept at the center of the research "causal entropic forces.” 16

“Dammit. I seem to remember having read a paper about the relationship between interestingness and entropy, where "interestingness" is measured, essentially, by the number of non-degenerate complex states. But now I can't find search terms which would apply. In any case, the conclusion was that 'interesting' states occur in… ”, in a comment on Andreas Schou's post “Assuming that any superlative ("most rainy day in history," for instance) is an interesting fact about a day, the most boring day in history is indeterminate: the most boring day in history is...” 22

“It depends on the system and how you are measuring entropy... but if the particle is actively moving against entropy, I'd say there was potentially some intelligence behind it, or that it could be perceived as intelligence. That is to say, that it's not necessarily true that EVERY event that increases entropy is purely a physical… ”, in a comment on John Stewart's post “There is no definition of what intelligence is -- paragraph 5” 23

Russell Miller 29 days ago 3 comments “I like that article that's going around about the origins of intelligence being, basically, a manifestation of the desire to keep entropy at bay as long as possible by keeping the maximum number of future states open. This makes a kind of intuitive sense to me, because it really does seem as if that's saying that, scientifically… ”
