But isn't entropy programmed? The nature of the answer to this question implies serious concern or rejoice

Programmed? I don't know how it could be programmed, when its nature is in fundamental logic. A machine cannot be 101% efficient without magically creating energy/matter. Without being able to magically create matter/energy, to get above 100% efficiency, either entropy can be stopped completely, with a 100% efficient machine, or more likely, as we see with nearly all existing machines, there will be losses in heat/smoke/wear-tear/and transfer of energy itself might require energy spent. This results in a non-100% efficient machine, thus, entropy is not "programmed." It is simply a consequence of energy dispersion.

Unless random fluctuations are part of all the number of possible configurations within a system, thereby the degree of uncertainty of energy changes is considered pre-defined and within the bounds of what the system dictates?

I don't think randomness exists in the universe. It is illogical to think that things happen without a cause. I have not seen any decent proof that true randomness, or "effects without causes, " exists. Instead, I think people point to extremely small, complex cases, where words like "quantum randomness" pop up. However, the reason for this apparent randomness is not because it is random, but because 21st century human technology is inadequate. It is more reasonable to think that there are causes to each effect, and these causes could be traced, if we had the equipment to actually detect the causes themselves.
