Feed on negentropy, starve the noise.
A thermodynamic approach to attention management.
Your attention, measured.
Five information-theoretic entropy metrics run silently in your browser, quantifying the information density, flow rate, and navigation randomness of your browsing.
A floating overlay shows your real-time entropy thermometer. A timeline chart reveals when and how your attention drifts from focus to noise.
Set your daily anchor. Get gentle alerts when your distraction index stays high. Review patterns. Inject negentropy back into your system.
Shannon entropy of page text word frequencies. High-entropy pages have unpredictable, fragmented content.
Rate of new content emergence. Short video feeds have extremely high R; deep articles have near-zero R.
Markov chain entropy rate of your navigation sequence. Random jumping between sites = high entropy rate.
How related is the current page to your daily anchor? High G means even high-entropy pages are productive.
The composite metric. Combines navigation randomness, goal irrelevance, and tab-switching frequency into a single real-time distraction score.
"Life feeds on negative entropy."
Your attention is a thermodynamic system. Focus is low entropy — ordered, predictable, goal-directed. Mind-wandering is high entropy — disordered, random, dissipative. Negentropy gives you the instruments to measure and manage this process.
