Primes¶
- Metasystem Transition
- Additional canonical reference:
This sourceFoundational treatment of dissipative structures: nonequilibrium fluctuations and far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics generate spontaneous, sustained order rather than degrading into disorder—the canonical articulation of the chaos-as-constitutive claim.
- Additional canonical reference:
- Self-Organization
- Prigogine and Stengers (1984) formalized dissipative structures: far-from-equilibrium systems that maintain order through continuous energy/matter flux, providing thermodynamic grounding for self-organization

- Self-Organized Criticality
- The underlying claim that disorder produces and maintains higher-level order—rather than degrading it—was formalized by Prigogine and Stengers (1984) in their analysis of dissipative structures and order out of chaos.

- Time
- Reframing complex phenomena as processes unfolding along a temporal axis reduces apparent complexity to a series of ordered states and transitions, an organizing strategy that Prigogine and Stengers (1984) generalize as the temporal trajectory through which dissipative systems become tractable.

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. Neither this nor any other of the 4 citations of this work carries a 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.
