Now let us suppose that such a vessel is divided into two portions, A and B, by a division in which there is a small hole, and that a being, who can see the individual molecules, opens and closes this hole, so as to allow only the swifter molecules to pass from A to B, and only the swifter molecules to pass from A to B, and only the slower ones to pass from B to A.

James Maxwell, Theory of Heat

The second law of thermodynamics postulates the sum entropy of an isolated system irrevocably increases with time. The system degrading to an ultimate state of inert uniformity. The axiom preempting perpetual motion machines of the second kind. Against this law of nature, stand not only life but also corporeity. And whiles we observe the second law of thermodynamics in the arrow of time, the starry night poses else: dust does not scatter in the void but joins to form the stars. If we imagine the universe as a closed system, the second law of thermodynamics predicts the overwhelming probability of uniform chaos—least of all a hundred billion of neurons firing in synchrony. Our incredulity notwithstanding, we observe everywhere a musica universalis. The preponderance of evidence suggesting an unaccounted variable: a demiurge that separates the waters from the waters.
