Below we show what is entropy and synergy, referring to systems.
Entropy
It comes from the Greek "entrope" which means transformation or return.
It is a process by which a system tends to burn out or die.
It is based on the second law of thermodynamics that proposes the loss of the organization of isolated systems (a system that does not have an exchange of consumed energy) leads to degradation, degeneration and disintegration.
Natural tendency to fall into a state of disorder.
Although entropy mainly exerts its action in closed and isolated systems, they also affect open systems; The latter have the ability to combat it based on the importance and exploitation of flows to and from the environment, with this process they generate negaentropy (negative entropy).
Synergy
The union of forces or energies that constitutes a whole greater than the algebraic sum of the parts, is called synergy; that is, it is the SUPERIOR WHOLE, resulting from the integration of parts that multiply instead of add.
It is the integration of elements that results in something larger than the simple sum of these.
If when analyzing one of the parts in isolation it does not give an explanation related to its characteristics or behavior, then you are talking about a synergistic object.
