Entropy Wrangler should be presented with the perspective that it is fundamentally a work of software: this is its genotype.

Cheng’s Entropy Wrangler is a program that generates a tornado-like destructive vortex with a high propensity to disorder and randomness. It consists of a system that produces a constant state of chaos in which various bodies float in an abstract environment. In it persons, animals, and things are propelled into space and are subjected to fortuitous collisions. Deprived of any function, characteristic movement, and setting, these figures react to touch in different ways, and the tension that results from their interaction generates additional chaos and movement.
