order from noise

Von Foerster's principle, and the exact inversion of entropy. A self-organising system left alone slides into a local minimum — stable but not the best available state. The only escape is perturbation. Annealing is the industrial case: controlled disturbance letting metal settle harder than it would have alone. The system avoids entropy by means of noise. This is what makes noise as design virtue a physical claim rather than a preference, and what noxiopoiesis names philosophically.
