Cybernetics states that under conditions
like this, matter does something special.

* "Platform for Change", by Stafford Beer, 1978, ISBN 0 471 06189 1
*
* If we have a universe, which is improbable though it exists, it is
* because the Second Law of Thermodynamics has two forms. One is concerned
* with the pressure to even out energy; that is the form which belongs to
* our stereotyped conception of the universe. It betokens death.
*
* The other form is about information content, which leads to greater
* organization and increasing complexity. That form betokens life.

What would be a specific example of energy causing matter
to be formatted by information, becoming "more complex"?

* "The Human Use of Human Beings", by Norbert Wiener
*
* A light quantum is a very small thing, but it turns out the energy
* transfer which is necessary for an effective information coupling
* is quite small.
*
* Thus, for the leaf of a tree, photosynthesis uses radiation from the
* sun to form starch and other complicated chemicals necessary for life,
* out of the simpler atoms of water and the carbon dioxide of the air.
*
* An enormous local decrease in entropy may be associated with quite a
* moderate energy transfer.

Sunshine on a photosynthesising leaf. The Sun as direct life-giver.
Causing matter to become more complex: simple atoms transformed to
more complex molecules. On purpose, to sustain life.

Ground zero, a soup-of-life mixture zapped with energy:

Scientists have absolutely no problem creating amino acids - the building
blocks of all life - from constituent chemicals. It takes a Darwini
