With those premises we can rules out communism in my book as it’s enforced equality is in conflict with the constructal theory (as the above mentioned theory is called)
A hierarchy will always form to optimize the flow of money and power
“All pigs are equal, but some pigs are more equal”

Picked up a book from the library today- 'Design in Nature'- and decided to pre-read by looking into the 'Constructal Law' which it claims governs 'evolution in biology, physics, technology, and social organization'
... This is just a restatement of entropy, isn't it? Like am I crazy here?

'The Constructal Law' is that 'For any finite-size flow system to persist, it must evolve configurations that provide easier access to its currents over time'; after thinking about this for a moment, it is saying that the motion of things (flow) changes into more efficient structures over time.

And no, I don't think the Constructural Principle applies to biological systems the way it does to thermodynamics (though I'm not surprised at non-biologists misusing the word "evolves", much less believers in the Singularity quoting it without understanding).

5/ Pourquoi en opposition ? Là où “une description fractale” décrit indépendamment les niveaux d’un système, la “description constructale” va décrire le système en suivant la flèche du temps du plus petit niveau jusqu’au plus grand.

Like, again, I feel like I'm going crazy because I'm seeing someone who discovered a law of physics say shit like 'biologists are wrong to say that evolution isn't a directed process, it is a process directed by the constructal law' and I'm just sitting here like '... but physics has no intentions.'

There is actually a law in physics that explains why the universe, your brain, and a river delta all look alike. It’s called the Constructal Law, put forward by mechanical engineer Adrian Bejan.
