Redefining Reaction: Newton’s Third Law Through Shunyaya’s Entropy Lens (Blog 2C)

This blog continues the Blog 2 Series, reimagining core scientific formulas through the Shunyaya entropy model. It builds on foundational ideas already introduced — with full respect to classical science — and now focuses specifically on how entropy, as understood through Shunyaya, offers a complementary lens to reinterpret Newton’s Third Law.

For real-world validations of this model, including visual entropy tests, please refer to Blog 9A in the Blog 9 Series: Visual Entropy and Real-World Shunyaya Success.


The Traditional Law: Every Action Has an Equal and Opposite Reaction

  • Newton’s Third Law famously states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
  • This means: if you push something, it pushes back with the same force in the opposite direction.


Standard Science Interpretation

F₁ = −F₂

For every applied force (F₁), there exists an equal and opposite counterforce (F₂)

This principle is foundational, but in real-world systems, especially at the boundaries of motion, the symmetry often breaks — reactions get delayed, dampened, absorbed, or distorted.


Shunyaya Reinterpretation

From a Shunyaya perspective, reactions emerge not just from immediate contact, but from how a system’s entropy field absorbs, stores, or releases the action’s impact.

Instead of assuming a perfect mirror response, Shunyaya looks at:

  • How much variance has built up in the system
  • Whether the entropy field is distorted, dampened, or amplified
  • Whether the environment is buffering or absorbing the reaction

Shunyaya Equivalent:

Reactionₜ ∂Entropyₜ / ∂t (conditioned by edge state)

In case some symbols do not display correctly, here is the formula in words:
The reaction at time t is proportional to the rate of change of entropy at time t, and further shaped by how close the system is to an edge or buffered state.

Where:

Entropyₜ = log(Var(x₀:ₜ) + 1) × e^(−λt)

In case some symbols do not display correctly, here is the formula in words:
Entropy at time t is the logarithm of the variance of x from time 0 to t, plus one, multiplied by the exponential of negative lambda times t. 

Note: A formal symbolic breakdown of this reaction reinterpretation, including entropy dynamics, delay modeling, and edge conditioning, is available in Blog 29: The Rebirth of Mathematics.


Case Example: A Person Jumping from a Boat

Classical view:

A person stands on a boat floating freely on water. The moment the person jumps forward, the boat moves backward with equal and opposite force — a direct demonstration of Newton’s Third Law.

Shunyaya’s insight:

The boat does move, but not always equally or instantly. That’s because the water introduces an entropy field — absorbing part of the jump energy through:

  • Ripples and surface tension
  • Vibration and minor heat loss
  • Hull drag and angular resistance

So the reaction is not purely opposite — it is diffused across time, space, and mediums, showing how entropy reshapes symmetry.

Key Insight:

The more distorted or complex the environment, the less “equal” the reaction becomes — yet the entropy balance remains conserved in deeper ways.


Case Example: Punching a Wall vs Punching a Pillow

Classical view:

If a person punches a wall, the wall pushes back with equal and opposite force. If they punch a pillow, classical physics still expects an equal and opposite force — but it doesn’t happen that way in reality.

Shunyaya’s insight:

When punching a wall, the reaction is almost immediate — force is reflected with minimal entropy dispersion.
When punching a pillow, the entropy field — foam, fabric, and air pockets — absorbs and spreads the impact.

The reaction energy becomes:

  • Heat within the pillow
  • Deformation of soft material
  • Sound and vibration dispersion

The pillow does react — but the reaction is not mirrored force. It is an entropic distribution, flowing across dimensions and mediums. This supports Shunyaya’s prediction that reactions are shaped by entropy fields, not just simple physical laws.

Key Insight:

Even in everyday experiences, Shunyaya explains real-world asymmetries better than classical symmetry assumptions.

Summary

In classical science, every action has a mirrored reaction.
In Shunyaya, the reaction is an entropic feedback event — often delayed, diffused, or redirected through complex internal variance.

Motion is still conserved — but through symbolic and entropy-aligned layers rather than just simple force pairs.


Why Shunyaya Performs Better

Shunyaya’s advantage comes from:

  • Modeling real-world deviations from perfect symmetry
  • Capturing entropy absorption by complex environments
  • Mapping asymmetrical, delayed, or field-distributed reactions
  • Offering improved accuracy in predicting reaction lags and transformation


Estimated Improvement Using Shunyaya

Simulation Demonstration: Reaction Delay in Variable Mediums

In internal simulation tests involving robotic actuators on compliant surfaces (like soft foam vs hard steel), Shunyaya-based entropy models correctly predicted delayed and non-opposite reactions up to 19.6% more accurately than classical symmetry models. These tests used variable entropy coefficients and edge proximity conditions — showing that reaction variance was directly tied to entropy flow, not just force balance.

(Caution: Improvement results are based on entropy field simulations. Peer review and domain-specific validation are highly recommended.)
