    Easy solution - it is first grouped by type and then groups are sorted by average length

  Theyre both pretty well ordered…

  This is sorta like comparing a bar chart with a radar chart

    That’s kind of the point I took from it? Would it help if you imagine there was a direction arrow labelled “entropy” between them?

  I’m not throwing salt but I find it delightfully ironic that you’re describing fractals as chaotic.

    I’ve never been able to explain why I feel the way I do when looking at the bifurcation diagram

      In a weird way, fractals make more sense than non-fractals.

  I've always had some trouble with the notion that "the universe always becomes more chaotic". Isn't the universe always on its way to having a perfectly evenly distributed layer of energy, and isn't that quite orderly?

    Think of a box with 4 particles a, b, c and d. If every particle is on the left side of the box, then there is only 1 way to divide them up. [(a, b, c, d), ()]

    If there are 2 particles on the left side of the box and 2 particles on the right side of the box, then there are 6 ways to divide them up:

    [(a, b), (c, d)] [(a, c), (b, d)] [(a, d), (b, c)] [(b, c), (a, d)] [(b, d), (a, c)] [(c, d), (a, b)]

    In total you’ve got 16 possible arrangements, the 2-2 state has the “highest” entropy because you’re more likely to end up with the one that takes up 6/16 arrangements.

    Maybe it’s called order because there are more ways to strew your clothes across the floor than ways to stack them up neatly in rows and there’s nothing deeper to it than that.

    Here’s a good way to visualize chaos vs order in this context. Imagine you have a thousand marbles neatly stacked in a pile like cannonballs are. That’s order. They operate as one entity. If you want to move the stack, you must move them all at once and very carefully.

    Now imagine those thousand marbles all strewn about your house. They are now a thousand different entities. You can’t interact with all of them at once anymore.

    You bring order back to the system by stacking the marbles again. It takes a lot of energy to stack them, and, with enough of it, you can return the marbles back to one entity.

    The notion is that entropy increases. That is, the amount of energy you can extract to do work decreases. You need differentials to do work, for example a water wheel works because water at elevation has potential energy which you can use to turn the wheel as it flows downhill to a lower potential energy. When everything is evenly distributed, you can’t extract any more energy to do work.

      Oh yes, I understand that. My issue is with describing that as "chaos" or "disorder".

    It’s evenly distributed because it’s all mixed together. Order: 15 buckets of paint in a rainbow of colors. Swirl them all together and you get an increase in entropy, it’s hard to pick out spots with pure color, there are a bunch of weird mixtures where the colors touch, it’s really difficult to paint with. Mix them all up completely and you get a uniform brown sludge. That’s chaos, you can’t separate them back out, all the individual pigments are hopelessly commingled.

    It dowsnt. It gets harder and harder for humans to describe and comprehend.

      The end state would look the same at any focal length.

    Literally both form, function would be an image of supplying nutrients to the rest of the plant which, one might note, it can’t do and so its function is disabled in both.
