anyone considering that current convention analysis/designations of

am a General Systems analyst ... dealing with such things as
'complexity', emergence, enaction principles that are currently
-different- between non-living (effectively aka . "closed") systems ..
and .. living <span>(effectively aka . "open")</span> systems .. and if
there is a way to correlate the types more accurately .. where .. the
possibility exists that they actually have a -shared- core mechanism for
their behaviors and performance attributes~capabilities?</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">(sorry for the long question .. there is a lot to corral together and consider simultaneously)</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">I
have been looking at an essential adapted definition of entropy ... a
'generalization' .. so to speak ... where it is not so strongly
associated with thermodynamics. I am not intimating such a new model
has -no- association with thermodynamics .. only that thermodynamics of
only -one- ... of -several- possible phenomena and dynamics .. where
some other core qualia which is central and key to "entropy" .. can be
identified and seen in non-thermodynamic evaluated systems.</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">I
would appreciate any thoughts. I have begun the building of new
equations that exactly identify that attribute of entropic factors and
especially ... defining "-interactions- between local entropic
groupings". [similar to Prigogine's model of 'far from equilibrium'
..but even more general than his equations (i.e. - not limited to
chemistry)].</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Thank you everyone, for considering my question(s).
