The problem of the relationship between spatial (geometric)disorder and entropy is analyzed from the standpoint of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and statistical physics.It is shown that the configurational entropy characterizes the"randomness" of the results of repeated experiments aimed at determining thecoordiantes of the atomic nuclei of a system rather than the degree of disorder of a particular structure.It is proposed to evaluate the degree of disorder of any structure by algorithmic information.Special considerationis given to the Stishov paradox,andit is indicated how it can be resolved.
