This evening I was reading *Christianity for the
Twenty-First Century*, by Alexander Men (p50) and came
across the following quote from Norbert Wiener that looks
like a paraphrase of the second law of thermodynamics:
". . . the universe and all the closed systems it contains
tend naturally to be used up and to lose their definition,
and tend to pass from a less probable to a more probable
state, from a state of organization and differentiation
where there are distinctions and forms to a state of chaos
and uniformity." (Norbert Wiener, *Kibernetika i
obshchestov*).
Does this apply to case systems? If so what can we make
of the *state* of the Latin case system in classical
period? Is it further along the way toward a "more
probable state" than Greek of the same period?
