When simple elements combine in specific ways, they form complex systems with emergent properties — attributes not inherent to the elements themselves.

“We can control the connectivity within lattice structures with the help of percolation theory to manipulate the randomness of the connections. Increased randomness can enhance the structure’s mechanical properties.

Building on this concept, we introduce microstructural entropy—a novel metric to evaluate a material's internal complexity, focusing on the variety and distribution of connections. This measure quantifies the information needed to accurately describe the structure.
