Abstract: Algebraically, entropy can be defined for abelian groups and their endomorphisms, and was latter extended to consider objects in a Flow category derived from abelian categories, such as $Rextit-Mod$ with $R$ a ring. Preradicals are endofunctors which can be realized as compatible choice assignments in the category where they are defined. Here we present a formal definition of entropy for preradicals on $R$-Mod and show that the concept of entropy for preradicals respects their order as a big lattice. Also, due to the connection between modules and complete bounded modular lattices, we provide a definition of entropy for lattice preradicals, and show that this notion is equivalent, from a functorial perspective, to the one defined for module preradicals.
