(I wrote this ages ago, but never posted it AFAIK.)
So just now, I was looking up the definition of entropy so I could figure out what the opposite of entropy is. One of the definitions said that entropy was the process that would, in a closed system, eventually lead said system to a state of inert uniformity. This made sense.
However, the third definition was "chaos, disorganization, randomness." Um, what? These two definitions contradict one another. "Inert uniformity" is the exact fucking OPPOSITE of chaos and randomness. What kind of idiots wrote this dictionary?
Anyway, I guess that answers my question, at least. The opposite of entropy is chaos.
