Syntropy - From Greek syn=together, tropos=tendency. It was first coined by the mathematician Luigi Fantappiè, in 1941, in order to describe the mathematical properties of the advanced waves solution of the Klein-Gordon equation which unites Quantum Mechanics with Special Relativity. As noted by Viterbo, syntropy is "the tendency towards energy concentration, order, organization and life" (http://www.syntropy.org/). In contradistinction to "entropy," syntropy is a result of retrocausality leading to persistent and more complex organization. This is akin to the concept of dissipative structures developed by Ilya Prigogine, expostulated in Order Out of Chaos, by Prigogine & Stengers (1984). Buckminster Fuller developed a definition in relation to "whole systems" as "A tendency towards order and symmetrical combinations, designs of ever more advantageous and orderly patterns. Evolutionary cooperation. Anti-entropy" (http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Syntropy).
' A tendency towards order,
symmetrical combinations,
designs of ever more advantageous and orderly patterns.
Evolutionary cooperation.
Anti-entropy '
In psychology; ' a wholesome association with others '
In anatomy ; ' a formation of a series of similar parts having the same orientation ' eg ribs.
In pathology ; ' the coalescence of two diseases into one '
In physics ; The Law of syntropy states that in a converging universe, energy is constantly absorbed from the environment. Syntropy is the magnitude by which we measure the concentration of energy and the increase of syntropy is irreversible.
Entropy - Breakup, collapse, decay, decline.
A scientific concept describing a state of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty.

Mana - From Melanesian and Polynesian mythology, mana is a supernatural force which permeates the
universe. Anyone and anything can possess this force.
In Hawaiian and Tahitian mythology, mana is a spiritual energy and healing power which can exist in places, objects and persons. Hawaiians believe that mana may be gained or lost by actions, and Hawaiians and Tahitians believe that mana is both external and internal. - from Wikipedia.
