The document discusses the concept of syntropic cities and their relationship with information theory, particularly focusing on critical events in urban environments such as traffic jams and landslides. It introduces the idea of syntropic agents, which are tools that collect and process environmental data to produce urban instructional information. The document references various theories and models related to information transmission, entropy, and the role of technology in urban systems.

- 4. Critical Events In Physics terms, events are occurrences and phenomena that arise in a particular time and space. As previously mentioned, when the flow in these events undergoes retention, the result are some critical situations such as traffic jams and landslides.
- 7. Information Theory A model of information transmission, created by Claude Shannon, in which data could be transmitted from a sender to a receiver, point to point, with as little loss as possible.
- 8. Entropy In the Information Theory is how to measure the amount of disorder of data that generate uncertainty and disruption in the communication system: "From our previous discussion of entropy as a measure of uncertainty it seems reasonable to use the conditional entropy of the message, knowing the received signal, as a measure of this missing information "(Shannon, 1948, p. 20).
- 9. Syntropy Negative entropy (also known as negentropy), able to take the entropy to zero from negative values embedded in the system: "The entropy of a continuous distribution can be negative. The scale of measurements sets an arbitrary zero corresponding to the uniform distribution over the unit volume. The distribution which is more bold than this has less entropy and will be negative "(ibid., p. 38).

- 12. Urban Instructional Information Some characteristics capable of translate the relationship between the data obtained in the environment (context), for example, through a network of sensors of different capacities (RFID tags, WiFi antennas, surveillance cameras, bluetooth areas, etc.), generating this kind of information.
- 13. POE The instructional or biotic information is presented on the concept of POE (Propagation Organization: An Enquiry) authored by Robert Logan, Stuart Kauffman, Robert Este, Randy Goebel, David and Ilya Shmulevich Hobil, being responsible for its organization and propagation of living organisms with based on the meanings generated by the environment in which this system is biotic, in addition also of other elements.
- 14. Syntropic Agents Syntropic agents are tools capable of collecting and processing data on the environment and, through an autocatalytic process, produce urban instructional information.
