So what does life inteligence and gravity share in common? and what does the delta of entropy got to do with time?
Imagine a space full of time processes that increase the entropy as the thermo law states, would structure be invited here? apparently not and yet it does, planets and life and inteligence and societies, how all these came to be where all there should be is dust dancing happily in the void?
Add now a class of structured-systems that accelerate the entropy production through their processes, as opposed to their environment. The law is upheld the entropy rises yet structure arises out of chaos, those systems seem to steal ticks, compress and hide time inside them, create a time/entropy potential on which they sustain themselves. Those systems will tend to link and chain to super-structures and super-systems for more efficiency until their maximum throughput is reached. 
Dust then would rather stick together to maximize their collisions per time and flip it's state more often, experience more events than on a linear and lonely predictable voyage to the edge of the space, is this then the call of gravity? Seems to fit the bill, when the matter systems link they can draw upon the infetisimal subdivisions of time to create larger and larger structures until... their integrity is threatened? a cap is reached that would also reveal an atomic tick? Those structures based on near immortality of their subsystems will tend to create spherical systems as their means to maximize their interplay within the limits of 3 dimensions. So let there be planets and celestial bodies...
Are we over? is chaos cheated then? Seems not yet, enter Life. Ask yourself which planet produces more chaos, experiences more, is more eventful, moves in the Aristotle sense faster? a barren desolate rock or a living teeming planet? The previous structure supports the next class of systems, more complicated and thus more vulnerable to internal chaos,entropy to time and death, but also an opportunity of birth. So those systems are less immortal and are constructible, still they experience more in their lifetime, they move faster. The organization strategy is not of accumulation, the super-systems  grow and the newly constructed cells organize in a way to maximize their interface with their environment, now fractal structures are employed to break the limit of 3 dimensions and approach the 4th. As for the dead cells there are 2 options that create the divide between animals and plants, keep them or discard them. In this plane time has a new name now, it's called metabolic rate. 
Same law that created life on the previous structure, creates now intelligence on the substrate of life, the immaterial now systems can break through the physical bounds of 3+ dimension and expand their interfaces and thus their entropy throuput into novel mental dimensions, Time is now more compressed and limited by the speed of thought.
Furthermore Intelligent systems unbounded by the physical contrains, link and network in an infinite possible dimensions, creating new social structures and scapes where new Organizms wade. always trying be a step ahead in the entropy production bussiness. 

Hail Eris All Hail Entropia
