Retrocretiously

To think, speak or act backwardly for the sake of recognition; to recall using a method of mental reversing replaying.

He remembered the details retrocretiously, as painstaking as that was.

An artist on 𝕏 (formally Twitter) that draws mysterious and "wacky" artworks. retrodoxl showcases a wide variety of interests through capitalizing off the usage of alternitive accounts, specializing in other drawings on occasion on the alts "DoxlSauce" and NEWDINKET. I hope this is... better. *nervous shaking*

Retrocausality

A hypothetical phenomenon where effects precede their causes—where the future influences the past, rather than the other way around. Retrocausality challenges our most fundamental intuition about time: that cause always comes before effect. In retrocausal scenarios, an event in the present could be caused by something in the future; decisions yet to be made could shape history already written. While this sounds like science fiction, certain interpretations of quantum mechanics (the transactional interpretation, Wheeler's delayed-choice experiments) hint that retrocausality might be real at the quantum level. Particles seem to "decide" their past based on future measurements. Retrocausality asks: what if time's arrow is not as fixed as we think? What if the future is already influencing the present, and we just can't see it?

"The particle's path changed based on a measurement that hadn't happened yet—as if the future reached back and told the past what to do. Retrocausality: effects before causes, future shaping past. Quantum mechanics hints at it; logic recoils from it. But nature doesn't care about our logic. Maybe time flows both ways, and we're just too slow to notice."

Retroentropy

The unsettling feeling that order isn't moving forward, but backward. It’s the perception that systems are becoming more organized into a state that is functionally worse, more chaotic, or more oppressive. While regular entropy measures the trend toward disorder, retroentropy describes a universe where things are snapping into a horrifyingly rigid, but ultimately more useless, form of order. It’s the feeling that your computer's files aren't just getting scrambled, but are rearranging themselves into a perfect, unopenable, and menacing grid.

Example: "My room was a mess, but after my mom 'cleaned' it, I can't find anything. It’s not entropy, it’s retroentropy—a perfectly organized chaos that serves no one."

Retroentropy (Physics)

A hypothetical physical phenomenon where entropy—the measure of disorder—would decrease over time within a closed system, effectively running backwards. In our universe, entropy always increases (the Second Law of Thermodynamics). Retroentropy would describe a cosmos where spilled milk leaps back into the glass, smoke reassembles into a cigarette, and scrambled eggs unscramble themselves. It's the physics of a world where time flows in reverse, order emerges spontaneously from chaos, and the universe gets younger and more organized with every passing moment.

Retroentropy (Physics) Example: "Watching the DVR replay of the vase shattering and then magically reassembling, I joked that my living room must be a local zone of retroentropy."
