A comprehensive physiological strategy aimed at counteracting the natural tendency of biological systems toward disorder, inefficiency, and decline, a concept analogous to thermodynamic entropy. In a health context, this mitigation involves interventions that maintain cellular organization, enhance energy efficiency, and preserve the fidelity of hormonal communication, thereby sustaining peak physical and cognitive function over time. It is a clinical approach to resisting the inevitability of biological aging.
Origin
This term is a sophisticated conceptual bridge between the physical concept of “entropy”—the measure of disorder in a system—and the biological reality of aging and decline in human performance. “Mitigation” signifies the active, therapeutic effort to slow this degradation. It provides a framework for longevity science focused on maintaining systemic order.
Mechanism
Mitigation of performance entropy operates by reinforcing key cellular defense and repair mechanisms, such as activating sirtuins, enhancing DNA repair pathways, and promoting mitochondrial biogenesis. By supporting these core processes, the strategy helps cells maintain their structural integrity and energy output. This active preservation of biological order ensures that complex hormonal and neurological functions remain robust and precise.
