3 hrs confidence: 
linkage to high entropy Explanation: Alternative: involvement of a high state of entropy. Alternative: Accordingly, a high state of "entropy" is drawn upon. ((All this is highly figurative writing style, invoking analogies in the science of thermodynamics.)) ((It seems that the term "entropy" here connotes non-linear and quasi-logical, and thus supposedly more creative, modes of thinking.)) |

3 hrs confidence:
high entropy interaction Explanation: The modern use of "entropy" seems to mean something like creativity or innovation. I find this annoying because entropy actually is the opposite, i.e., a dispersal of energy resulting in cessation of all activity or a sort of universal thermodynamic death. However, for purposes of the translation I would just accept "entropy" in its modern sense and not try to find a more appropriate word. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2017-07-01 03:05:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I would say interaction because the idea of the modern term "entropy" is that the creativity results from the unpredictability of the interaction among diverse components. This is in contrast to the traditional idea, that the interaction leads to dispersal of energy. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropia |

peer agreement (net): +1high-entropy mechanism/system Explanation: Please see the explanation. Entropy refers to "transformation" ... In meccanica statistica l'entropia (dal greco antico ἐν en, "dentro", e τροπή tropé, "trasformazione") è una grandezza (più in particolare una coordinata generalizzata) che viene interpretata come una misura del disordine presente in un sistema fisico qualsiasi, incluso, come caso limite, l'universo. Viene generalmente rappresentata dalla lettera S. Nel Sistema Internazionale si misura in joule fratto kelvin (J/K). |
