Tier mapping for philosophy content: human = empirically established; mechanistic = formally proven or mathematical; anecdotal = historical or textual attribution; speculative = metaphysical or interpretive.\n- Cite real sources only: primary works, papers, books, with exact quotes where verifiable.

Lostracco, Drew M. Dalton, and Shannon M. Mussett each start from the second law of thermodynamics. Entropy increases in isolated systems. Local order requires energy input and produces waste heat. Irreversibility follows. These facts ground ethical claims about resistance to decay, care for finite structures, and normative duties that oppose cosmic dissipation.\\n\\n## Core Results\\nLostracco derives ethical norms directly from thermodynamic axioms of cooperation and energy management. Dalton concludes that reality is hostile because it accelerates entropic decay; goodness requires active resistance and refusal. Mussett treats entropy as both breakdown and site of creation; ethics becomes care and reverence for finite life amid inevitable loss. All three convert physical irreversibility into duties of maintenance, opposition, or attentive transformation.\\n\\n## Major Figures and Primary Works\\nK. Lostracco published \\\"A Theory of Ethics from First Principles: Thermodynamic Norms\\\" on PhilArchive in 2024. The work states that ethical principles abstract from gene-culture heuristics that approximate cooperative equilibria under thermodynamic constraints. Drew M. Dalton published \\\"The Unbecoming of Being: Thermodynamics and The Metaphysics and Ethics of Entropic Decay\\\" in Technophany in 2025. An earlier summary appeared as the Aeon essay \\\"Reality is evil\\\" in 2025, which asserts: \\\"To do good is to break with that complicity – to seek ways of dismantling, resisting and reconfiguring the structure of reality to neutralise, alleviate or unsettle its entropic thrust.\\\" Shannon M. Mussett published \\\"Entropic Philosophy: Chaos, Breakdown, and Creation\\\" with Rowman & Littlefield in 2022.
