A general geometrical framework of nonequilibrium thermodynamics is developed. The notion of macroscopically de nable ensembles is developed. The thesis about macroscopically de nable ensembles is suggested. This thesis should play the same role in the nonequilibrium thermodynamics, as the Church-Turing thesis in the theory of computability. The primitive macroscopically de nable ensembles are ...

Current formulations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics open chemical reaction networks only consider chemostats as free-energy sources sustaining behaviors. Here, we extend the theory to include incoherent light a source free energy. We do so by relying on local equilibrium assumption derive potential photons relative system they interact with. This allows us identify thermodynamic and forces dr...
