This would be an increase in entropy, right? The vector is _away_ from
the organization of perfume in a bottle.

As long as the motion is toward increased entropy, and as long as chance
destroys what chance creates, I can only believe that the motion to form
a human brain from a cloud of hydrogen is impossible.
