In Physics, Thermodynamics, entropy is a potential [1].
That's true in classical (19th-century) thermodynamics, but not
true in modern physics, including statistical mechanics. The
existence of superconductors and superfluids removes all doubt
about the absolute zero of entropy. For details, see

As is usual for a potential, only *differences* in entropy
between different states can be measured.
Not true.

These are quite general properties.
They are neither general nor relevant to crypto.
