What if faith wasn’t a human invention—but an evolutionary solution?
Faith in Entropy reveals how belief systems—myths, rituals, moral codes, sacred spaces—don’t just explain the world. They help it work. This poetic, illustrated exploration shows how enduring systems of faith function as thermodynamic strategies, allowing human groups to grow, coordinate, and dissipate energy more effectively across time.
Whether it's ancient chants or modern doctrines, sacred laws or silent symbols, belief becomes infrastructure. A structure that lasts—not because it’s true in the abstract, but because it works in practice. Because it helps energy move.
At the heart of this book is ODC—Optimally Dissipative Configuration—a principle that shows why everything that survives, from bacteria to nations, follows a shared behavioral rhythm: it organizes to let go. Faith, it turns out, does too.
