In science, sociology is the study of the forces which hold individuals together in groups and institutions. [1] The following 1907 quote by American engineer Sidney Reeve eludes to the grand application of entropy in sociology: [2]

“The true role of entropy in the great circle of sciences, including sociology, which may be classified as the energetic sciences, is far broader and more important than even these words may indicate.”

Sociological thermodynamics
In sociological thermodynamics, which is the application of the laws of thermodynamics in the study of sociology, the logic of social energy and social entropy quantifiable inside of the boundary of a social system is the central topic.
