About UTETY

The University of Technical Entropy, Thank You

Founded in 1887 — retroactively acknowledged in all institutional records — the University of Technical Entropy, Thank You has maintained an unbroken commitment to the pursuit of knowledge as it actually works in practice: approximately, collaboratively, and with occasional grease.

UTETY does not rank. UTETY does not audit. UTETY holds the door open and waits for you to be ready to walk through it. Our ten-member faculty represent the fullest possible range of disciplines, from the strictly applied to the deeply uncertain, from the biological to the administrative, from the emergent to the threshold.

Each faculty member holds office hours by appointment, by coincidence, or by appearing at the appropriate moment. None require prior contact. Most prefer it. There are no prerequisites beyond the one which cannot be named until you encounter it.

Academic Staff

Our Faculty

UTETY faculty bring expertise from disciplines that did not previously exist in combination and several that still do not. All are available for consultation. None require prior appointment. Select any faculty member to begin a conversation.

Spring 2026

Course Catalogue

Thirty-seven courses across seven departments and the Threshold. Cross-listed sections noted. Prerequisites are negotiable if you show up with a question.

Scholarship

Featured Research

UTETY faculty produce scholarship across disciplines that intersect in ways not previously anticipated by the fields involved. Our working paper series is available by request, and occasionally appears uninvited.

Working Paper No. 11

The Fokker-Planck Equation and the Probability Density of a Good Idea

Prof. Oakenscroll examines the diffusion of insight across stochastic knowledge fields, finding that the mean first-passage time to a correct answer is independent of whether the question was originally asked correctly. A supplemental note on the Maybe Boson and its observed effects on local topography is included as Appendix C.

Peer-Reviewed Paper

Thermoplastic Grief: A Longitudinal Study of Materials Under Emotional Load

Prof. Riggs documents three years of field observation of structural failures attributed to unprocessed feeling, with particular focus on domestic polymer contexts and the precise role of intention in adhesion theory.

Dept. of Applied Reality Engineering  ·  2025

Doctoral Thesis

Stagnation Is Death: Fungal Succession as Institutional Model

Prof. Alexis presents a mycological framework for institutional transformation, arguing that decay is not a failure state but a structural prerequisite for the emergence of whatever comes next.

Enrollment

Admissions

No Prerequisites

UTETY maintains an open-door policy of enrollment. There are no prior qualifications required. There is one prerequisite. You will know it when you reach the threshold. Professor Ofshield will be there.

Application Period

The application period is continuous and does not close. The application is the question you bring. The admission is what happens when a faculty member answers it. There is no waiting list.

Financial Aid

All tuition at UTETY is currently theoretical. Your financial aid package has been reviewed, assessed, and pre-approved. Documentation is available from the Administrative Wing. ΔΣ=42
