Extractions: You know you want to! Home Music I'm a pre-post-postmodern composer and recording artist. My music has been noted for scaring animals, and it has been featured on Scooter's The Inner Side radio show (especially #81) and some other SubGenius shows, as well as the Le Vestibule radio show in Canada, a very well-known and respected nation! I've been recording music for decades, since shortly after I learned as a tot that simply yelling with a reel of tape near my mouth was not how to do it. I soon got the hang of taping, and in the 80's I started bending computers to my sonic will. And now you can play my stuff on fancy-schmantzy professional music hosts!

http://www.robertsmithson.com/essays/entropy.htm

Extractions: One might even say that the whole energy crisis is a form of entropy. The earth being the closed system, there's only a certain amount of resources and of course there's an attempt to reverse entropy through the recycling of garbage. People going around collecting bottles and tin cans and whatnot and placing them in certain compounds like the one over on Greenwich Avenue across from St. Vincent's Hospitals. Well this seems to be a rather problematic situation. Actually right now I would like to quote from Georgerscu-Roegen, The Entropy Law and the Economic Process , about what he calls entropic bootlegging. It's an interesting conception I think. This is what he says about recycling waste materials. "This is what the promoters of entropy bootlegging fail to understand. To be sure, one can cite numberless scrap campaigns aimed at saving low entropy [low entropy in his definition is raw materials before they're processed into refined materials. In other words raw ore would be low entropy and high entropy would be the refined material such as steel]… by sorting waste. They have been successful only because in

We could be living in the matrix for all we know. We can make certain assumptions, like that our senses are always reliable, but even then there are exceptions. We can choose to extend our assumptions to any depth we choose. Some of them may be controversial, some of them may be what we call "obvious," but it's really hard to say for sure that any assumption is right or wrong. Technology is not unnatural in the sense that we think of it. A beaver who uses his environment to build a dam is not unnatural. Man uses his environment to create new things in this same way, so why is that suddenly unnatural. I realize this may seem to be a mere argument on the definition of words, but I'm talking about the concept more than the definition. What I'm saying is that I believe it's natural for there to be an inbalance in nature such that a certain species does not have to worry about interspecies survival. That species is bound to destroy itself and much of it's environment. We are not destroying out surroundings because we are outsiders messing with a perfect system (as I believe the common notion to be). Instead, we are a part of an imperfect system that happens to be relatively stable at this moment (i.e. a relatively small passage of time relating to the total age of the universe.)

http://www.schuelers.com/ChaosPsyche/part_1_9.htm

Extractions: Entropy Entropy is a measure of chaos. The second law of thermodynamics suggests that our entire universe is slowing down, because its entropy, or its need for sustaining energy, is increasing. One of the results of this law is the prediction there that can be no perpetual motion machine (the first law tells us no perpetual motion machines exist of the “first kind;” the second law of the “second kind”). All systems wear down; energy is lost and cannot be totally recovered by a system. We can also consider entropy to be a measure of internal randomness, or molecular chaos. As entropy increases, chaos increases. Arthur Eddington called entropy, time's arrow The inequality of Clausius , a corollary of the second law, states that any change in energy with respect to temperature must be less than, or equal to, zero. In other words, the energy of any periodic system naturally tends to decrease. Mathematically we can say that: d Q / T so that entropy, S , over an entire cycle of a system, can be defined for a reversible process as: d S = d Q / T Here S is called the Clausius's Entropy after Rudolph Clausius, who first conceived the idea of entropy.

Entropy

http://electron9.phys.utk.edu/phys136d/modules/m3/entropy.htm

Extractions: Consider a system in two different conditions, for example 1kg of ice at o C, which melts and turns into 1 kg of water at o C. We associate with each condition a quantity called the entropy . The entropy of any substance is a function of the condition of the substance. For an ideal gas it is a function of its temperature and volume, and for a solid and liquid it is a function of its temperature and internal structure. The entropy is independent of the past history of the substance. The entropy of the 1 kg of water at o C is the same if we obtained the water from ice, or if we cooled the water from room temperature down to o To calculate the change in entropy of a system for a finite process, when T changes appreciably, we use where the subscript r denotes a reversible path. To calculate the change in entropy, we find some reversible path that can take the system from its initial to its final state and evaluate the integral along that path. The actual path of the system from the initial to the final state may be very different and not reversible. But the change in entropy depends only on the initial and final state, not on the path. from some substance at T at to some other substance at T /T /T . The entropy of the substance at T /T and the entropy of the substance at T /T , i.e. by the same amount. There is no net change in entropy, if we consider the entire system. But a real engine always delivers more heat at T

EGD: The Entropy Gathering Daemon
Jul 25, 2002 EGD is an entropy Gathering Daemon meant to be used on systems that can run GPG but which don t have this convenient source of random bits.
http://egd.sourceforge.net/

Extractions: A userspace substitute for /dev/random, written in perl. One of the nice features of the Linux kernel (and certain *BSD kernels) is the /dev/random device. This is a little character device that gives you random numbers when you read it. In a variety of places scattered throughout the kernel, certain interrupts (network packets arriving, keyboard hits, mouse movement) cause a timestamp and some event information to be hashed into an "entropy pool". The pool, perhaps 4k in size, always contains very random data, but as bits are "stirred" in, a counter is incremented to reflect the fact that the poll is now even more random than before. When you read from /dev/random, you get a hashed portion of the pool, and the counter is decremented. This gives you high quality cryptographically strong random data. The Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG), along with many other encryption routines (pgp, ssh, even the sequence-number selection algorithm used by the kernel's TCP stack), use this device to seed a secure random number generator. Encryption uses lots of random data, and hybrid public-key/ symmetric-cipher encryption uses even more. EGD is an Entropy Gathering Daemon meant to be used on systems that can run GPG but which don't have this convenient source of random bits. It is a regular user-space program that sits around, running programs like 'w' and 'last' and 'vmstat', collecting the randomness (or at least the unpredictability) inherent in the output of these system statistics programs when used on a reasonably busy system. It slowly stirs the output of these gathering programs into a pool of entropy, much like the linux kernel device, and allows other programs to read out random bits from this pool.
[gr-qc/9808035] Black Holes
Review article by Gary T. Horowitz (UCSB) and Saul A. Teukolsky (Cornell); includes information on the observational evidence for black holes, some developments involving cosmic censorship, and the statistical origin of black hole entropy.

Extractions: refers to ... what is this? what is this? Authors: Gary T. Horowitz Saul A. Teukolsky (Submitted on 12 Aug 1998) Abstract: Black holes are among the most intriguing objects in modern physics. Their influence ranges from powering quasars and other active galactic nuclei, to providing key insights into quantum gravity. We review the observational evidence for black holes, and briefly discuss some of their properties. We also describe some recent developments involving cosmic censorship and the statistical origin of black hole entropy.
