What is the Origin of System Entropy Management?

This concept is borrowed directly from the second law of thermodynamics and applied to the biology of aging, where cellular degradation represents increasing entropy. Its origin is in understanding that active biological processes are required to locally decrease entropy. Effective management directly opposes age-related molecular accumulation of damage.

What is the Mechanism of System Entropy Management?

The mechanism involves bolstering intrinsic repair systems, such as enhancing DNA repair fidelity and promoting autophagy to clear damaged organelles and aggregated proteins. Furthermore, managing systemic inflammation reduces the background noise that accelerates molecular disorganization. By optimizing NAD+ levels, for instance, we support sirtuin activity which governs many maintenance functions.

System Entropy Management

Meaning

System Entropy Management is the application of interventions designed to counteract the natural thermodynamic tendency of biological systems toward increasing disorder, functional decline, and senescence over time. In clinical terms, this means actively supporting molecular organization and efficient energy transduction. We seek to maintain high functional order within the body’s complex regulatory networks.
