My new word for the day..."entropy"

The Constitution, imho, should be considered a low entropy contract, meaning that it restrains government (elected officials taking the oath to uphold the Constitution is an oath to restrain them or limit their power to create chaos).

Social entropy is a macrosociology theory, or an approach to sociology which emphasizes the analysis of social systems and populations on a large scale, at the level of social structure, and often at a necessarily high level of theoretical abstraction. It can refer to the decomposition of social structure or of the disappearance of social distinctions.

Much of the energy consumed by a social organization is spent to maintain its structure, counteracting social entropy, e.g., through legal institutions, education and even the promotion of television viewing. Anomie is the maximum state of social entropy [disputed – discuss].

Social Entropy implies the tendency of social networks and society in general to break down over time, moving from cooperation and advancement towards conflict and chaos.
