Routine action', a form to take action, is widely accepted in the economic field, because of its resource saving effect which contributes to average cost degression. However, from an entropic point of view, each form of acting requires decision making in regard to consumption of resources and...

We point out that the fundamental irreversibility of Nature requires the introduction of a suitable measure for the distance from equilibrium. We show that entropy, which is widely held to be such a measure, suffers from the problem that it does not have a physical meaning, since it is...

The Clausian introduction of entropy is based on an unnecessary restriction, namely that diminishing circle integral leads to a unique state variable. Eliminating that restriction a family of entropy-like function is introduced. After we have chosen one, called extropy, which has better...
