If this is possible can we measure the entropy of an individual  mind or a system of  minds?

And what about the observable universe ,would there be any rough number associated with it?

Do you mean entropy of a brain?  What in the world is a 'system of minds'.

Yes ,the brain (but the mind is   a "property" of the brain)

A system of minds? Could be the interactive network of any group of people or living, sentient beings.

A book club.A pack of hounds.A political grouping   with constituent parts that interact with each other


Fo those groupings exhibit   degrees of entropy ?They are ordered, aren 't they?

And what about  the purely physical observable universe
?
How do we measure  its entropy?Does it have a number?

Can we compare its number to that of the groups ,I listed above?

Quite a bit of heat is lost from your head/brain but I would say that the entropy there is just part of the heat loss for the whole body.

Isn't entropy a measure of the degree of order in a physical system?

Well ,is a system of connected minds  also an ordered system?

Can the concept of entropy apply in those cases as well ?

Or is the concept of entropy only applicable in physical systems?

[paul cotter]

What is normally described is the change in entropy, say in a physical process from one state to another, rather than absolute values of entropy, dS.

Isn't entropy a measure of the degree of order in a physical system?

That is one definition.

Well, is a system of connected minds  also an ordered system?  Can the concept of entropy apply in those cases as well ?

I can't imagine how you can apply entropy to that situation.

If the Mind is an Emergent property of the Brain, which inturn is in a Physical structure formed by Particles, then Yes entropy can be measured.

The Observable Universe is a bit Tricky.
