Decision-deferral concentration on residential horizontal surfaces — a thermodynamic follow-up to BIC-OPS-0058
Follow-up study (cohort n = 64 surfaces, 871 deferred items inventoried) classifies the dominant occupying material on residential horizontal surfaces — items the resident had not made a decision about — into seven why-not-decided categories. The Office finds that an undecided item occupies a high-entropy configuration preserving all possible outcomes simultaneously, and reclassifies the horizontal surface as an instrument of entropy preservation.

Surface entropy — a field study of residential horizontal surfaces
Commissioned study (n = 184 residential horizontal surfaces) finds that cleared surfaces, under normal household conditions, return to higher-entropy configurations within a measurable period. The Office adopts the principle of surface entropy, observed as a domestic expression of the second law of thermodynamics. The properties of the dominant occupying material — items the resident has not decided about — are the subject of a forthcoming OBM follow-up study.
