Entropy

I started thinking of Pynchon very close to the concepts of entropy, but I 
finally wrote my PhD dissertation defending that P plays with two antagonics 
realities. The Macroreality that behaves just like the observable world, 
this would work for describing the space, people and time. And a reality 
that would determine the behave of the characters, these would move and 
behave like the tiny world of eletrons, positrons, etc. To make such 
argumentation I used the theories about "scientific models" (Hesse, Black) 
to propose that the characters would move and act like the particles 
described by scientists when they create a model. In doing so I would show 
characters acting like Maxwell's demon, The demon of the second kind, twin 
photons, worm in worm holes, Schorinder's cat, etc.
In my point of view P. makes funny and exposes a nonsense in science. It is 
in crossroad or trap and cannot find a way out.
