-Entropy is a measure of chaos or randomness in a system. An important property of entropy is that it increases over time. In practice that every system gets more chaotic over time unless we use energy to bring it into order.
+Entropy is a measure of chaos or randomness in a system. An important property of entropy is that it increases over time. In practice, every system gets more chaotic over time, unless we use energy to bring it into order.
 An explanation for this steady increase of entropy is that there are far more possible states of high entropy than there are states of low entropy.

-The, in the beginning purely empirical, observation that the observation of a system always increases, can be deduced from general logical arguments as was demonstrated by Jaynes.

 Entropy is a macroscopic notion like temperature and is used when we do not have absolute knowledge about the exact micro configurations of the system.
