In summary, negentropy is the measure of order and organization in a system, and it plays a crucial role in the origin of life. This concept explains how living organisms are able to maintain and increase their complexity and organization despite the natural tendency of the universe to move towards disorder. The process of evolution, driven by natural selection, relies on the constant input of energy and the maintenance of negentropy to allow for the emergence and development of life forms. Without negentropy, the complex and highly organized structures of living organisms would not be possible, making it a fundamental concept in understanding the origin of life.

Hi, I joined this forum to ask a question about the importance of negentropy as a force in origin of life (see this thread).

My BSs degree is in mathematics and physics, and I have an MSc in cognitive science. I do not work professionally in science, but like to read popular science books. I am interested in subjects such as foundational issues in mathematics, transfinite mathematics, quantum physics, the hard problem of consciousness, philosophical issues in science and mathematics, and various other subjects.
