That is what I imply ! But my catch is to say that the process from less
complex to more complex is an evolutionary adaptation, not a physical
law of nature ! The notion of tendency leads to a somewhat obscure
path of goal- intented behavior, where IMO there is none.
Tendency is religious related, dependent of an unknown force... I don 't
like that ! But that wasn 't the thing you said I suppose !
