Entropy is a data structure that embodies the notion of time. In other words, it is a time-like structure. Entropy is directly related to the notion of freedom or Free Will.
Entropy is time, and time is money
It was Bitcoin and its mining mechanism/blockchain as a time-like structure show that it is possible to use time as a way to issue currency with physical grounded phenomenon.
Category Theorists' view on Entropy
Tai-Danae Bradley has a video[1] called:A New Perspective of Entropy. She also mentioned John Baez blog[2] on Entropy as a Functor, which is summarized in this paper[3].
Entropy and its applications
One of the most direct applications of entropy math is information compression algorithm development. Take a look at the following artciles:
