Traditional entropy increase theory regards the irreversibility of isolated systems as an absolutelaw, yet it overlooks the relativity of the synergy coefficient. Based on five-dimensional mathematics(boundary, structure, reserve, direction, intensity), this paper defines the synergy coefficient κ as aunified measure of nonlinear emergence. κ applies to all complex systems, from physics to society. Weprove that for isolated, non-conscious systems, κ naturally decays (traditional entropy increase); systemswith subjective agency can increase κ again by consuming external reserves. The value of κ dependson the reference frame, strategic goals, and cognitive level. The core insight of this paper is: materialentropy increase on Earth implies entropy decrease — local entropy increase is a necessary dissipativemechanism for maintaining global order in open systems. On the cosmic scale, the Big Bang represents atransition of κ from chaos to order; cosmic expansion is a rebalancing of local κ decreases and increases.We propose six core theses, clarifying the dialectical unity of entropy increase and decrease, and pointout that local entropy decrease is the development direction of the universe and humanity. Finally,methodological principles for parameter calibration are given to ensure falsifiability.
