I envy you for your understanding of entropy. I understand a few simple aspects of it, but the deeper meaning eludes me. It does seem to be a useful concept which grants access to so many knowledge domains.

I understand one aspect of it in terms of probability. However another aspect of it eludes me as well, as I described in my last paragraph.

There's also a third angle from information theory. This type of understanding I haven't really studied in depth yet.
