Thank you for this insightful treatment of entropy and chaos! The related scriptures are fascinating; like opposition in all things, to act and not be acted upon, etc. The third law of thermodynamics applied to existence reveals a God with exactly the characteristic he has: intelligence, and the power that enables.
I have been working on these same concepts for a few years, based on a idea that came to me as I wrote the Bicentennial feature series for The Freeman; the magazine published by the Foundation for Economic Education in 1976. https://fee.org/people/jackson-pemberton/
The 2nd in the series was about natural rights and the example of a beaver cutting down a tree seemed to say that it had dominion, power, and authority over the tree sufficient for his needs, and that authority could be correctly seen as natural rights in action.
You may be interested in this view of natural rights because it confirms your understanding by grounding it on the basic structure of the universe. https://universalrights.ai/temporal-rights-an-executive-summary/
Thank you again for that treatment of chaos!

I would love to read this but this article doesn’t continue. Can we only listen? Not practical for me, therefore I have to put it away.
