Maximizing Entropy Return on Energy Investment.
This is delightful. "Investment" is a fresh and unexpected metaphor for the unfolding of the universe! Thank you.
“ I think the physical universe is playing an investment game with itself, with the goal of coming more alive as fast as possible. I think energy flows towards systems that are better at coming more alive, and away from systems that aren’t.”
This made me think of HT Odum and the maximum power principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_principle). His book (https://www.amazon.com/Environment-Power-Society-Twenty-First-Century/dp/0231128878/ref=pd_lpo_1) I also remember being pretty interesting when I read it many years ago and I think gets at why your observation might be true, how it works, and some of the implications.
