Emergence of Thermodynamics from Darwinian Dynamics

چکیده

Darwinian dynamics is manifestly stochastic and nonconservative, but has a profound connection to conservative dynamics in physics. In this short presentation the main ideas and logical steps leading to thermodynamics from Darwinian dynamics are discussed in a quantitative manner. It suggests that the truth of the second law of thermodynamics lies in the fact that stochasticity or probability is essential to describe Nature.

Stochastic Dynamical Structure (SDS) of Nonequilibrium Processes in the Absence of Detailed Balance. IV: Emerging of Stochastic Dynamical Equalities and Steady State Thermodynamics from Darwinian Dynamics

The evolutionary dynamics first conceived by Darwin and Wallace, referring to as Darwinian dynamics in the present paper, has been found to be universally valid in biology. The statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, while enormously successful in physics, have been in an awkward situation of wanting a consistent dynamical understanding. Here we present from a formal point of view an explorat...

Nonequilibrium Entropic Bounds for Darwinian Replicators

Life evolved on our planet by means of a combination of Darwinian selection and innovations leading to higher levels of complexity. The emergence and selection of replicating entities is a central problem in prebiotic evolution. Theoretical models have shown how populations of different types of replicating entities exclude or coexist with other classes of replicators. Models are typically kine...

Quantum Thermodynamics: A Dynamical Viewpoint

Quantum thermodynamics addresses the emergence of thermodynamic laws from quantum mechanics. The viewpoint advocated is based on the intimate connection of quantum thermodynamics with the theory of open quantum systems. Quantum mechanics inserts dynamics into thermodynamics, giving a sound foundation to finite-time-thermodynamics. The emergence of the 0-law, I-law, II-law and III-law of thermod...

Social Order-Creation Instability Dynamics: Heterogeneous Agents and Fast-Motion Science—on the 100 Anniversary of Bénard’s Dissertation

Bioeconomics has its origins in attempts to justify why only rational firms survive, or to introduce dynamics into Economic Orthodoxy. To the extent that these views persist, bioeconomics is outdated. A more recent view is that the most significant dynamics in bioand econospheres are not variances around equilibria. Instead order is now seen to be due to the interactions of autonomous, heteroge...
