General theory of growth, panarchy; Living systems, social systems; Autopoeisis – self-organization (for cells through societies); Non-equilibrium, thermodynamics. Non-equilibrium statistical physics affords an important clue for the understanding of the self-organization phenomena of living bodies. Di_20130117_195131_st-on_discussion. The common basis of complexity and criticality is identified and applied to a range of non-equilibrium systems. This same principle has been well established in non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and appears to be what's taking place in the quantum vacuum. It is shown that a higher number of interrelated processes within the system result in an increased probability of self-organization. It accomplishes this through an open, non-linear systems process known as self-organization. I also wonder about Prigogine's theory of self-organization in non-equilibrium systems, specially a quantum version of it, and its possible role in the functioning of the brain. So if quantum effects are indeed sustainable in what were once thought to be untenable biological systems, can we extend concepts such as entanglement and non-locality to help explain even stranger phenomenon like psi . €�in the just under five hundred pages of his Self-Organization in Nonequilibrium Systems, there are just four graphs of real-world data, and no comparison of any of his models with experimental results. Information theoretic explanation of maximum entropy production, the fluctuation theorem and self-organized criticality in non-equilibrium stationary states. I will also make a The metaphysical system that I will present in this book provides the foundation for a new story of the universe—for a world where consciousness, mind, soul, and spirit are just as real and obvious as the matter and energy that currently occupy the restricted gaze of materialistic science. €�Post-modern science,” which includes Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Chaos Theory, Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and the the theory of self-organization. Steady states (despite many claims in the literature).” It follows that any general extremal principle for a non-equilibrium problem will need to refer in some detail to the constraints that are specific for the structure of the system considered in the problem.
