Determinism, chaos, self-organization and entropy.
We discuss two changes of paradigms that occurred in science along the XXth century: the end of the mechanist determinism, and the end of the apparent incompatibility between biology, where emergence of order is law, and physics, postulating a progressive loss of order in natural systems. We recognize today that three mechanisms play a major role in the building of order: the nonlinear nature o...
متن کاملEntropy and the Self-Organization of Information and Value
Adam Smith, Charles Darwin, Rudolf Clausius, and Léon Brillouin considered certain “values” as key quantities in their descriptions of market competition, natural selection, thermodynamic processes, and information exchange, respectively. None of those values can be computed from elementary properties of the particular object they are attributed to, but rather values represent emergent, irreduc...
متن کاملSelf-organization and entropy reduction in a living cell
In this paper we discuss the entropy and information aspects of a living cell. Particular attention is paid to the information gain on assembling and maintaining a living state. Numerical estimates of the information and entropy reduction are given and discussed in the context of the cell's metabolic activity. We discuss a solution to an apparent paradox that there is less information content i...
متن کاملSelf-Organization and Entropy Decreasing in Neural Networks
Dynamics of self-organization of binary patterns in a Hopfield model, a Boltzmann machine and a chaos neural network are investigated with the use of an ensemble average entropy and a short time average entropy. Time dependences of these entropies are calculated by numerical simulations when these models are solving traveling salesman problems. Decreasing of the entropies are observed in conseq...
متن کاملRelaxed Plasma Equilibria and Entropy-Related Plasma Self-Organization Principles
The concept of plasma relaxation as a constrained energy minimization is reviewed. Recent work by the authors on generalizing this approach to partially relaxed threedimensional plasma systems in a way consistent with chaos theory is discussed, with a view to clarifying the thermodynamic aspects of the variational approach used. Other entropy-related approaches to finding long-time steady state...
