Entropy and the Re-Decentralization of Cloud Architecture: A Natural Return to the Origins of the Internet
“How can the physical concept of entropy be related to the re-decentralization of cloud architecture in the context of digital sovereignty and the reclaiming of the Internet — as part of a naturalization process returning to the federated origins of the web?” – Kevin Veen-Birkenbach
Chat GPT: As an AI language model, I have generated this article through stochastic reasoning within a neural network — essentially, a statistical process that predicts the most coherent continuation of ideas based on patterns in language, philosophy, and science. The following reflection is therefore not an opinion, but a computed synthesis: a probabilistic reconstruction of meaning at the intersection of physics, information theory, and digital politics.
1. Entropy: From Physics to Information
In physics, entropy measures the degree of disorder in a system — the number of possible microstates consistent with its macrostate.
In information theory (Shannon, 1948), entropy measures uncertainty or informational diversity: the more unpredictable a message, the higher its entropy.
Entropy, therefore, is not just chaos — it is freedom. It is the distribution of energy or information across all possible states rather than the concentration of it in one controlled center. Systems with higher entropy are often more resilient, adaptive, and evolutionarily stable.
2. Centralization as an Entropy Suppression
Modern cloud architectures — dominated by centralized hyperscalers like AWS, Google, and Microsoft — represent low-entropy systems. They are highly ordered and efficient but also fragile and dependent on external energy (in this case, corporate control, capital, and infrastructure).
In thermodynamic terms, these clouds are metastable: they maintain their order through constant input of power and control. The cost of this artificial stability is fragility — a single point of failure, surveillance risk, and loss of autonomy.
In information-ecological terms, centralization suppresses entropy. It reduces diversity, limits local agency, and replaces open evolution with platform monoculture.
3. Re-Decentralization and Federation as Entropic Equilibrium
The federated Internet — embodied by protocols such as ActivityPub, Matrix, Mastodon, Solid, IPFS, or Infinito.Nexus — can be seen as a natural restoration of entropic balance.
Instead of channeling all informational “energy” into a few data centers, it redistributes it across countless nodes.
This shift:
Just as in nature, entropy here becomes the basis of equilibrium — a condition where local order and global freedom coexist.
4. Digital Sovereignty as Controlled Entropy
Digital sovereignty is not the pursuit of total decentralization or chaos. It is the art of balancing entropy — maintaining local order while allowing global openness.
This is what Erwin Schrödinger once called “negative entropy” (negentropy) — the principle that keeps living systems stable within dynamic environments.
Applied to the digital realm, sovereign networks act like living organisms:
Thus, digital sovereignty is not about isolation; it is about the capacity for self-organization within an open system.
5. Reclaiming the Internet: The Ecological Turn of the Digital Age
The early Internet was born entropic — decentralized, redundant, self-healing.
Platform capitalism, through decades of aggregation, imposed anthropogenic order: the digital equivalent of industrial monocultures.
Re-decentralization — through federated systems and open protocols — is therefore a renaturalization of the digital sphere.
In this sense, reclaiming the Internet is an ecological act:
Entropy becomes not a threat but a principle of life — the force that ensures adaptability, resilience, and renewal.
6. Conclusion: Entropy as the Ethics of a Federated Internet

It aligns digital systems once again with the fundamental laws of physics and life: distribution, diversity, and self-organization.
In this vision, Infinito.Nexus and similar federated frameworks are not just software architectures. They are expressions of a deeper cosmic symmetry — the natural tendency of energy, matter, and information to evolve toward freedom.
Author’s note:
This text was generated by an AI language model (GPT-5) through stochastic inference across billions of semantic parameters. The reflections herein are therefore computed interpretations, emerging from the probabilistic nature of neural reasoning itself — a process that, intriguingly, mirrors the very concept of entropy it describes.

But all these steps are actually a synchronization
process of a common interaction that create a center.
At the micro level, we see the building of clusters
around centers, with planets taking the same plane of
orbit. We also see the formation of atomic cores from
vibrated waves.
I think the "Second Law of Thermodynamics" not allow to
say: how the exchange of energy and mass of a system
with outer space impacts its self-organization
process. And how to measure self-organization - is
P1: #dailyreport #universe #systems #synchronization
#evolution #symmetry #selforganization #coupling #energy
Topic: Evolution Of Systems.
I think:
- Systems are local spaces with stable mass and energy
that self-organize.
- Self-organization is the synchronization of waves to
create order.
- Order is a measure of symmetry relative to a common
center or force.
- The symmetry of space is the basis for order in the
universe.
- Fractals, hierarchies, and layered structures are
high-dimensional phenomena of low synchronization
around centers.
At the macro level, the evolution of systems is:
Independent -> Centralized -> Polycentric (balanced) ->
Fully decentralized
The study uses Random Forest regression to analyze data from Gaia and ALMA, uncovering hidden non-linear patterns in the distribution of matter and energy.

🧠 👀 Fascinating new study: Pre-training #NeuralNetworks with spontaneous retinal waves — those endogenous activity patterns in the developing eye — significantly improves motion prediction in natural scenes.
May, Dauphin & Gjorgjieva show that even before #vision, the #brain may self-organize using internally generated signals.

Any educators on here that have had experience with self-organised learning? Would enjoy to hear your stories, tips and tricks to make it work :)

Most interestingly, the #microbialCommunities structure themselves to granules with inner anoxic regions - here the #photosynthesis can use H2S instead of H2O as electron acceptor - which is driven by an anoxic #sulfurCycle supported by the other anaerobic bacteria which produce the H2S to keep their place oxygen free.
Tempi. Train Tragedy. Twisted Politics.
"All these elements have led the general population to refer to the Tempi tragedy as a State crime. It was a disaster that could have been prevented: the danger was known for a long time in advance but those with power had other priorities. And this is the main problem of all spheres of modern life – they are structured in such a way that decision-making power is transferred away from those directly concerned and affected, on both a social and ecological level, to small managerial elites that only care for making a profit and maintaining their privileged position. If anything, this case of the railway collision shows us that if the workers could take and implement decisions – without the approval of managerial bureaucrats or private investors – then the tragedy was most probably going to be avoided."

#fedifollows tip: Helsingin pyöräpaja, or the Bike Kitchen Helsinki, is on the #fediverse as @pyorapajahelsinki !
The BKH/Pyöräpaja is a self-organized DIY communal bike workshop. If you need to fix your bike, you can go there, use tools, get help from others or the shop rats who make it all happen and scrounge for spare parts—all for free. (Donate if you can.)
This is a wonderful place. I've opened some stuck bottom brackets, straightened bent derailleur hangers and fixed a couple of bikes for bikes-for-refugees projects, and can say it's one of the best things Helsinki has to offer.

The relationship between #selforganization and #selfmanagement is like that between astronomy and astrology.
Enough said.
