Digressing for a moment, we can explain the existence of complex macromolecular structures, as well as their nature of activity, if we determine the operational boundaries of the function of entropy. Obviously we cannot. Energy equals information. Displacement of mass-energy through space occurs through a phenomenon termed 'time'. Keeping in mind innate structural qualities, Integrity is information load proportional to information capacity.
Integrity determines continuation and continuity.
This latter factor could be unit or process, where either information must increase or structure must change, resulting in higher Integrity form. Time extancy increases all related levels and complexities of information flow, and structural constancy.
