Interesting. Thanks for the ping.
Um, I don't know Jean dear. This is a very short post. I don't want to say I'm disappointed, but... I'll ask Mr. Science if he thinks the article is at an appropriate level for my right-brained mind. (An old college buddy gave me a copy of A Clockwork Orange, but I still haven't read it. Is it like that? ;-)
Thanks for the ping…

Burrrrppppttt!!! Thanks!
Great defense of Newton’s teleology. Unfortunately, people will always try to Divine no Providence from the writings of others.
“Newton confronted with deep distrust the mechanical worldview of Descartes, which derived all change in the world alone from the mechanical mutual effects of the bodies. The Cartesian model of the world, in which the mutual play of mechanical powers was to explain the development from chaos to the ordered cosmos, seemed to him all too self-contained and self-sufficient so that it would not need any divine assistance or would even admit such.” [ibid., p. 60]
Chaos? Did you say ‘chaos’ agent 86? I think you’ve exposed Maxwell’s demon. “How can chaos make cosmos which made intelligent life to discover its origin?”
To deny order and design in our cosmos would be similar to denying ‘compressed design’ in DNA. We see, have evidence of, and study design with science. The use of teleology while denying teleology is again, divining no providence in an attempt to ‘Get Smart’.
- Would you have some fresh entropies today, for me and my friends?
-Absolutely Sir !
We have them extensive or not, with de¯nite concavity or not, nonnegative de¯ned or otherwise, quantum, classical, relative, cross or mutual, included in several others with a small supplement, composable or not, expansible or not, totally optimized or a little rare, even completely out of equilibrium... single-trajectory-based or ensemblebased... You can have them at the good old Boltzmann magni ¯cent style, doree µa la Gibbs, very subtle, or von Neumann..., with pepper µa la Jaynes, or the popular Shannon, oh, my God, I was forgetting the esoteric, superb, macroscopic Clausius, the surprising Fisher, the re¯ned Kolmogorov-Sinai, µa la Kullback-Leibler for comparison, Renyi with multifractal dressing, with cybernetic sauce µa la Harvda and Charvat, Vajda and Daroczy, or even the all-taste Sharma and Mittal...
In 1988 we started serving them with Brazilian touch, if you wish to try, it leaves a tropical arriµere-gout in your mouth! And since then, our chefs have introduced not less than ten new recipes... Curado, with exponentials, Anteneodo with tango °avor, Plastino's, excellent as family dish, Landsberg, Papa, Johal with curry, Borges and Roditi, Rajagopal and Abe...
They are all delicious ! How many do I serve you today?
