Entroy is the price


"Entropy is the price of structure  
The future is uncertain…. 
but this uncertainty is at the very heart of human creativity.
The world is richer than it is possible to express in any single language 
In assembling complexity
the bounty of increasing returns
is won by multiple tries over time.

When a system is far from equilibrium, 
small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos
 have the capacity to lift the system 
to a higher order."
As various parts reorganize to a new whole,
the system escapes into a higher order.
The main character of any living system is openness."
— Illya Prigogine - a physical chemist and Nobel laureate
