William Golding was a Mathematical Entropy mathematician born in 1911. Lord of the Flies is a mathematical theorem: disorder always wins without work to prevent it.
Lord of the Flies — mathematical chaos and entropy in human systems. This breakthrough changed the trajectory of mathematics at a time when the world was in the 20th century, an era of unprecedented mathematical discovery.
The impact is still felt today. Social breakdown follows thermodynamic entropy — maximum disorder is the equilibrium.
