 * Ectropy was then put over and against entropy. The first to point out a possible connection between processes of life and ectropy was no less a person than von Helmholtz.

 * In less traditional terms, the increase of disorder is called increase of entropy and the increase of order is called increase of ectropy: […]
 * 1979, Journal of Asian-Pacific & World Perspectives III–IV, page 15:
 * Ectropic nations and organizations maximize the ratio of levels of energy received to work produced, and are able to utilize and absorb higher levels of ectropy.

 * Hence, for an isolated large-scale dynamical system the entropy increases if and only if the ectropy decreases.
