The condition or quality of moving or conducting in a direction opposite to the normal or expected direction.
From anti- (against) + -dromy (from Greek drómos, 'running'), forming a noun describing this reversed directional movement.
Antidromy in nature is like biological rebellion—salmon swimming upstream, sperm swimming to eggs, nerve signals firing backward—it shows life constantly working against the path of least resistance.
