A state where pattern is not the same across space or time.

Entropy (noun) means: A state where pattern is not the same across space or time. It emerges from space, time, pattern: Pattern.regularity becomes less consistent across space.extent and time.dimension when many small differences accumulate without correction. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
