I should add that these systems should also have some agency or goal resilience, like goal #1 Don’t die despite your environment and external influences. Easier done through control of free energy to counteract said external forces. And since entropy is a little fuzzy as a concept, we could substitute “reduce entropy” with “maximize free energy” or anything that can create blue photons or super high temperatures.
