Tangling and entropy They say the bigger entropy the greater disorder. They also say the smaller entropy the greater order. When they say one thing, they don’t say another. That’s obvious, though some used to say both to avoid any misunderstanding. Some people don’t like misunderstandings while the others love them. And what do they say when they see tangled cables? They murmur something. Hardly audible. Hardly understandable. They do similarly when they see cables spread straight one by another with no overlaps, or coiled neatly, but they keep silence when they see cables on the reels. They ponder when cables are in order and when they are not in order, because in case of cables nothing is clear and obvious. The chaos of a jungle is the state of great order, because all elements the jungle is composed of are in right places and the (bio)diversity is on the highest level. The order of a maize field, its terrifying homogeneity, is the state of great collapse, because nothing is the right place, though in straight rows, everything has been shooed away, and the (bio)diversity is on the lowest level. Isn’t it like that in case of cables? It can be seen clearly they strive for the greatest entanglement, tangling is their nature, and if so then everything is where it should be and the state of great peace is achieved, and the state of great peace is the state of great order, isn’t it? Are those neat coils, skeins, bundles and fascicles are opposed to their nature? Yes, they are, and if they are, they are the collapse, chaos and disorder. So, the bigger entanglement the smaller entropy. The smaller entanglement, or the bigger disentanglement, the bigger entropy. Of cables, of course. Of cables. And of other cable-like, cablish, cably entities, but not of all of them. <<<
