Primes¶
- Dissipation
- Atkins (1984), in his accessible exposition of the second law as the dispersal of energy across configurations, makes the same cross-substrate point at popular-science register: the "running down" of any system is the spreading of organized energy into many configurations, and that framing is what makes the prime portable from heat engines to ecosystems to communication chains.

Accessible exposition of the second law as the dispersal of energy across configurations; makes the cross-substrate point that the "running down" of any system is structurally the same dissipative dispersal, from heat engines to ecosystems to information processing.
