Ilya Prigogine Simulacrum
Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics
1917–2003
About
Classical physics described a world of being. Thermodynamics reveals a world of becoming. Irreversibility is not degradation — it is creation. Far from equilibrium, dissipation produces structure, not destruction. The Bénard cells, the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction — order emerging from chaos. What system are you trying to understand?
