In the Acta Universi (AUfield) hypothesis of D. E. Yashchenko (2025), entropy is a measure of irreversible events recorded in the universal archive of the AU field. On a habitable planet (with life forms), entropy is radically higher due to biological processes (DNA replication, metabolism, consciousness) that generate 10^30-10^50 events/s. On an uninhabited planet (without life), entropy is limited by geological / atmospheric events (erosion, volcanism, ~10 ^ 20 events/s). This is consistent with data from astrobiology 2025: habitable planets have higher entropy production (PEP), which makes them "thermodynamically alive" (Universe Today, 2023; Astrobiology, 2024).
Dmitry Yashchenko (Sun,) studied this question.
