Entropy only makes sense in closed systems. The "room" in question, is it
isolated forever from everything else? No. Temporality reeks havoc on
abstract spatial theories. Rooms are open systems over time, meaning rooms
don't last, the gas molecules are quite free to wander the galaxies in
search of... extropy, of course.
