Primes¶
- Dissipation
- The structural insight is robust: a sliding block losing kinetic energy to heated contact surfaces, an electrical conductor turning current into Joule heat, a computer erasing a bit and shedding the corresponding minimum heat, a savanna ecosystem losing roughly 90% of energy at each trophic transfer, and an organizational communication chain whose original signal degrades into noise are all running the same structural calculation: a few organized modes couple to many disordered modes and the structure runs downhill, an architecture Prigogine (1967) generalized through his treatment of entropy production in non-equilibrium systems as a substrate-spanning principle.
This sourceDevelops entropy production in non-equilibrium systems as a substrate-spanning principle, treating dissipation as the organizing rate of irreversible processes across physical, chemical, and biological domains.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
