Cycles of a life system

entropy falls
entropy rises

start & end state is environment state

During 'life' state, entropy < entropy of environment

Our experience of giving love is that of releasing energy and reducing ones personal entropy.
Our experience of receiving love is that of receiving energy and increasing ones personal energy.
Our experience of flow is that of equal giving and receiving of energy so that ones entropy remains constant (or in line with the universe)

Statistical Observations on Love

Have been trying to pin down a title for a study, or some interesting or alternative angle to present. The above is one such idea.

I would like to see a serious of hypotheses tested using some sort of statistical picture, eg plot the birth/death rates at different levels of 'life' systems, eg cell, organism, group, species...

Or perhaps something more open like "Questions on love.."

Well the subject is not necessarily about love, but one of unity, however i want to tie this with our human experience of this, which is love.
