Theory of Life Directionality
Thesis: Life, as a physical process, is moving increasingly faster toward an ideal state, which is the perfect ordering of everything, from an anti-ideal state occurring as time approaches minus infinity. It achieves this by reducing entropy at the expense of increasing the entropy of its surroundings. My proposed name for this ideal state is ANRA. This ideal state will never be achieved; it is a direction toward which life will always strive, regardless of where it has emerged or will emerge in the universe. I have named the opposite direction antiANRA. Referring to the cybernetic definition of life, I consider life to be a set of negative feedback loops with an overarching positive feedback loop directed from antiANRA to ANRA.
