If an ODSP starts behaving too deterministically, it limits the number of opportunities that exist for it to be mappable to another extended topology OTRS at the next time step via an organodynamic transform. Since its opportunities are limited, then the probability that the process will persist at the next time step is diminished. And this is deleterious to adaptation.	Consequently, its probability of termination, or death, is elevated. Therefore, too much deterministic behavior ultimately results in death. So, too much determinism is not favored by ODSPs… Just as, we saw in the previous slide, too much chaos is also not favored by ODSPs.
Entropy Rate Behavior In the previous slide, we saw that, when entropy rate is too high, then the presence of a series of limited stationary processes cannot persist over time. So too, if a process terminates (death), it also cannot result in a limited stationary process. An indicator of the maintenance of, but also the changing of, limited stationary processes as subprocesses within ODSPs, is the change of behavior of their entropy rates over time. Bounded change in entropy rate over time is indicative of persistence. Extreme change is indicative of process termination.	Regulating lifelike dynamics in ODSPs This discussion brings to mind the behavior of living and lifelike systems in nature. But, the dynamics of those systems goes beyond our idea of limited stationary processes. Can we expand organodynamics to represent those ideas – again using probability and information theories?
