	ENTROPY
		Entropy is a quantity that, in its two contexts, characterizes not only all form and life in the universe, but all signal, language, information and written material ever produced anywhere.
		Entropy within this theory is the "measure of the rate of transfer of information in [that] message" (OED).
		Another consequence of the second law of thermodynamics, is that the entropy, or disorder, of the universe must increase for a reaction or event to occur (thus over time the universe proceeds toward the most probable state--hypothetically a "heat-death" of complete uniformity as mentioned by Pynchon in "Entropy").

	The Cult of Final Ecstasy
		Those who have reached low-points in their life are no longer adequate targets, as it is understood that they may very well escape the rut they are in, instead time and entropy are used together to determine whether any hope for this incarnation of the individual may be found.
		They also happen to be on very good terms with the wraith community as they feel it is their duty, as guardians of the cycle, to help the restless dead continue on their way and so assist them in the last vestiges of business they may have tethering them to the waking world.
		The Ecstasy is the remarkable state of consciousness attained during death.

	Larry Niven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of his short stories, "Inconstant Moon", was adapted for an episode of the television series The Outer Limits.
		He has also written for the DC comics character Green Lantern including in his stories hard science fiction concepts such as universal entropy and the red shift effect, which are common to his novels but unusual in comic books.
		Many of Niven's stories take place in his Known Space universe, in which humanity shares the several solar systems nearest to Sol with over a dozen alien species, including species known as the Kzinti, and Pierson's Puppeteers, which are frequently central characters.

	The Jon Rose Web - Picts - The Relative Violins - Descriptions
		In its medieval incarnation, the tromba-mariner consisted of a long sound box with one string and a bridge, one foot of which rested on the belly and one foot inside the instrument, making a buzzing sound.
		Of course, by walking backwards, the performer could hear again what he had just played in retrograde." Thus, with this instrument a new dimension was added to the parameters of musical structure, that of distance.
		Spanning anything from two to twenty five meters in length, many with a special resonating bridge, these playable installations have been built at regular intervals over the last twenty-one years.

	Charms of Entropy, on Erofeev
		In the dialectic of sobriety and drunkenness, the ultimate level is the hangover: the negation of negation.
		For centuries the world has glorified energy or force in all its guises: from kinetic and potential energy to the energy of mind and body, the force of the collective and of the individual, the force of heroic feats and the force of humility, cosmic force and political force, creative force and moral force.
		This was because of the second law of thermo-dynamics, which threatened general entropy, a thermal end to the universe in which everything would come together, even out, forming one vast, identical and undifferentiated melange, neither cold not hot.

	DANCE OF ECSTASY
		This view stands in contrast to that of a strict causality which states that an event is the immediate effect of a cause.
		This contention is remarkably close to the position of the metaphysic of ecstasy.
		From the vantage point of knowing something about the metaphysic of ecstasy, we can understand what is going on here with interest.

		The beautiful interaction between Sarah's voice and the piano remains, though several of the songs seem designed to break the album to the Adult Contemporary audience at large.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Sigur Rós, Unborn
		These simple sights were accompanied by relatively simple sounds—competent drumming and lots of tinkering around with xylophones and such—and I wasn’t exactly moved to a transcendent state of ecstasy.
		When you’re in the womb, all you need to hear is a slow thumping and the muffled soundtrack of a language you can’t understand yet.
		They write a bunch of their songs in “Hopelandish,” a nonsense language that’s intended to allow the listener to interpret the lyrics however he or she so desires.

	Metroactive Music \| Basement Jaxx
		It's giddy, manic and magic, a 15-track shot of soulful, propulsive musical ecstasy that will thrill even those who are bored and baffled by most club music.
		Remedy is a house record, but it consists of songs, not merely mixable tracks meant to form the building blocks of a DJ set.
		When house music works, though, there's almost a melancholy built into its ecstasy, a sense of snatching a night of heaven out of a system that's seemingly built to deny such pleasure.

		Born: 1935, Boca Raton, FL Personal: Outside of mage circles (and within a few) Peter was a 1930s anomaly, the child of a white hedge magician and a Cuban/Haitian mage of the Cult of Ecstasy.
		Peter and several others were arrested for inciting a riot, and when he was bailed out by a mysterious benefactor, he had his first encounter with the Technocracy.
		Peter declined to join them and managed to escape by some clever use of Time and Entropy magick.

		The Matrix is often cited as a groundbreaking film that introduced innovative effects and a new style to action cinema.
		One of the strangest critical compliments the second Matrix movie, The Matrix: Reloaded, received was the praise for the high-energy, orgiastic rave scene.
		Sure, in Reloaded everyone was bathed in sweat and in Blade it was blood, but the scenes were the same.

	CONFORM
		The illumination or awakening of the NWO cell members comes when they realize that all things were indeed united at the beginning of the present continuum.
		All forces, matter, and life came from one unifying force (called Prime by tradition mages) This force broke down into sub-forces of Entropy and Mind, Entropy paradoxically causing the breakup of the Prime into three distinct units: Prime, Entropy and Mind (or Awareness).
		ENTROPY (or quantum flux) breaks down Prime into other less powerful forces (which are more organized ironic way) these organized forces are Electromagnetism, Gravity, Kinetic, and Nuclear (strong and weak).

		Evolution by mutation and natural selection in populations of replicating organisms is characterised, when typical conditions prevail, by a directionality principle: a uni-directional increase in evolutionary entropy, a quantity that describes the uncertainty in the age of the mother of a randomly chosen newborn in the population.
		This talk will discuss 1) the analytical basis of the principle; 2) its connection with the directionality principle for thermodynamic entropy; 3)applications of the evolutionary principle to the mortality plateaus in human populations.
		And for a physicst who is also a baseball fan, it is pure ecstasy to have figured out much of what is going on during that very brief instant of time when ash meets cowhide.

	The Meaning of Life
		By this he meant that although inorganic matter was inevitably subject to entropy, (all the structure of peaks and valleys puddling out into a flat line of cosmic death) organic matter, life, had a reverse drive for higher and higher complexities, from the amoebae to the whale brain.
		One may choose to call this Spirit, God, so long as one realizes it is a vague idea at the end of emotionally profound gropings, not a Cartesian clear and distinct idea, let alone a crystalline concept from Scholastic logic-chopping.
		Maybe you are only alive when your ego is so threatened by the immense evil of the Destroyer, and you fight to get back up for air, for light, for animal normalcy now grasped as ecstasy ignored.

		A target reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by this damage is entirely disintegrated, leaving behind only a trace of fine dust.
		Additionally, the spell induces a feeling of immense pleasure; the target must make a Will saving throw or become stunned for the entire duration, as it writhes in ecstasy of decay.
		Ecstatic entropy does not affect objects constructed entirely of force, such as forceful hand or a wall of force, unless they have specified HP scores.

		This consummate craftsman has a refined ear for surprising orchestral timbres: very high disembodied basses hovering over timpani taps; flutes fluttering over low-lying strings; wild orchestral winds sweeping across static heavy chords.
		Maybe Dutilleux isn't better known because the feelings he seems to explore are quietly subtle, even repressed -- entropy rather than ecstasy, irony and resignation rather than despair.
		Notoriously slow-working, he began this commission in 1995, the 50th anniversary of the death of Anne Frank, to whom, along with "all the children in the world, the innocents," he dedicates the slow third movement ("Mémoire des ombres" -- "Memory of Shadows").

		Orchestral free jazz is a rare bird, for the simple reason that when a lot of people get together to blow their unfettered brains out, ecstasy tends to yield to entropy, i.e., chances are you'll get nothing but a horrible, muddy din.

		The film’s measured pacing and refreshingly elliptical narrative prevent viewers from becoming too distracted by the formal niceties of plot dilemmas and resolutions, and allow viewers to ponder character motivations, piece together events, and take in the scenery-which boldly dances the line between the disconcerting and the fascinating throughout.
		An unknown plucked out of Da Nang, Le registers exhaustion in every hunch of his shoulders, in the way he shambles and waddles and, most spectacularly, in subtle facial contortions that run the emotional gamut from weariness to futility to panic, from defiance to ecstasy.
		If Tran is positing the Cyclo’s family as a microcosm for a Vietnam undergoing economic reform, then this resilient kid symbolizes the erosion of the altruistic impulses of the society around him.
