That part was really emphasized historically, which kind of hid the underlying dialectics.
If you only focus on the “synthesis” part, nature seems static. But now, new research is bringing out thermodynamics dialectical nature with the attention shifting towards non-equilibrium thermodynamics. I like, how such an old field can still change and grow. By the way, they are also shifting to new definitions of entropy as observer dependent.
That’s a good point, cause synthesis simply evolves the dialectic further. It doesn’t become a stasis. That’s the whole negation of negation business. Once a new state is reached, then new contradictions emerge and the system continues to evolve. The concept of entropy being continuously reframed as out understanding of the universe deepens kind of acts as a nice allegory here. :)
