It seems like there should be a word that goes in the bottom-right here:
| Energy | Power |
| Entropy | ????? |
However, as far as I’m aware no such word exists, so we’ll have to make one up. Does anyone have any good ideas?
To be clear, what I’m after is a general term for any quantity whose units are entropy-units-per-time-unit, i.e. Image may be NSFW.

. The term “entropy production” is currently in use for the rate at which systems create entropy, but I want a word that can also refer to the rate at which systems extract negative entropy from their surroundings. (You can have a power loss as well as a power gain.)
The only thing I can think of is “empowerment”, which sort-of makes sense but is icky.
