<p>A descriptor of life is a phase transition between order and chaos. Entropy is the physical property of this transition determining lifespan. Rules of maintaining entropy and a model of health and disease are presented simplifying scientific methods. Entropy is a term that is poorly understood by physicists and unfamiliar to biologists. Entropy, in a biological context, can be seen as a measure of systemic disorder, with health representing a state of maintained low entropy. The mechanism of maintaining order is the subject of this paper with emphasis on the organ of negative entropy â€“ the lymphatic system</p>
