Thetheoreticalfoundationofinversion
In TENET, the explanation of inversion includes an unfamiliar concept of entropy and the second law of
thermodynamics.So,whatarethese?

dimensions.

dropping a drop of ink into a fish tank. Ink will spread out. In other words, it becomes disorder. Ink spreads in a
random direction rather than a fixed direction. Further, ink and water in the tank cannot be separated in the usual
way. Of course, heating to evaporation can divide, but enormous energy enters the process; and the moment the
