Thermodynamics

“What drives the system? Where does entropy increase? What work is extracted?”

E2ET theory lab

Written for researchers in Thermodynamics

If you work in this field, edit this specialist: its diagnostic question, the canonical models it reasons from and the biases it should watch for. Your name is credited on it and on every study that uses it.

Canonical models

  • ·Laws of thermodynamics (Carnot, Clausius, Boltzmann)
  • ·Dissipative structures (Prigogine, 1977)
  • ·Free energy principle (Friston, 2006)
  • ·Maximum entropy production (Dewar, 2003)

Known biases

  • !Energy/entropy analogies may not map to social systems
  • !Thermodynamic vocabulary can obscure rather than illuminate
