negentropy-lens
Negentropy Lens
A thinking framework for evaluating decisions, systems, and architectures through two fundamental system states: entropy (decay, disorder, complexity debt) and negentropy (growth, compounding value, increasing order).
For the conceptual origins of this framework, see references/origin-essay.md.
Core Principle
Every system exists in one of two states. Every decision either accelerates entropy or drives negentropy. There is no neutral. Inaction is entropic. The goal is not to eliminate entropy — it is to recognize which state a system is in, surface what is hidden, and make deliberate choices about direction.
Term Definitions
On first use in every output, define these three terms inline using parentheses:
