Excellent!

I assume the next section will include a good definition of open and closed systems since the understanding of the difference is soon to be important.

Absolutely. Next section, I am going to talk a bit about probability distributions, relate that to pressure and work in a piston and then define open and closed systems. If I have the space and will power, it is pretty natural then to describe a micro state and give an idea of what entropy is.

The beautiful thing about that then is to use Shannon’s law and not that genetic mutations are noting more than entropy in action and that actually, evolution is exactly what you would expect from thermodynamics.

But one step at a time.
