Entropy 2 a: the degradation of the matter and energy in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity.
As the universe moves towards this inert state, the universe becomes more stable—it has less volatility and change.
Politico-legal systems also progress towards a stable state. One example is the status quo: whatever the current state is, it is more likely to remain stable than to change to a different state.
Sinha in Jurisprudence says that all declarations about what Law is are value declarations rather than descriptive declarations. When I say that law as impunity leads to an equal-power legal system, am I making a value judgment, i.e., that a stable system is good, or am I making an observational statement, i.e., that a stable system is natural and/or inevitable?
