Biothermodynamics; Gradients and Complex Systems
In his book The Two cultures and a Second Look, British scientist and novelist C.P. Snow affirms that not to know the second law of thermodynamics is the same as not to know Shakespeare. This law is neither a guarantee of thermical death of the Universe nor a mathematical mistery interesting only for polimer chemists, as Schneider says. On the contrary, it notable contributes to explication of creation and elaboration of complex systems impulsed by energy flows aimed to eliminate any gradient existing in the world. Creation and evolution of life in all its forms and organizations begins from the process of reduction of gradients between hot Sun and cold space, existing since millions years ago, gaining the complexity during the process. In other worlds reduction of the gradients in the world increases and thus impulses evolution of natural complex systems.
Evolution of complex and intelligent life-forms, human organizations and creative and innovation impulses can be explicated by effectiveness of life as a cyclic system consecrated to gradients reduction.
Biothermodynamics, called also Non-equilibrium thermodynamics (TNE), is a scientific-technical discipline promising to provide with a different perspective of design and management of human organizations and ecosystems (enterprises-state-nation) and efficiency of cybernetic systems existing around us (Cybernetics = Computing + Energy). Dr. Schneider can count on an extensive group of colleagues- scientifics, enlarging with incorporation of all sorts of professionals and researchers for developing biothermodynamic equivalents to physical principles that governs harmoniously and in simple way such phenomena as motion of fluid substances (Navier–Stokes equations) and other fundamental concepts of the world. The complex dynamic systems appear around the energy flows that keep in existence evolution of these systems. These flows are getting more and more efficient in reducing of universal gradients. On the basis of this affirmation we can bring up the following interesting questions:
1-Is it possible to explain a global systemic dysfunction or ineffectiveness like the actual worldwide crisis as a fault of thermic dynamics within human systems?
2-Can we analyse and propose design of an efficient system on the basis of model of dissipative one, efficient in gradients reducing.
3-The processes of information increase unleashing the processes of communication between two parts of the universe with the aim to reduce uncertainties initiated by the presence of thermodynamic gradients. Can we consider the information process to be energy flows increasing the complexity of any system?
4- Can we can explain and forecast human behaviour depending on its biothermodynamic moment? Can we establish patterns in this regards.
5- Can an efficient and sustainable energetic system be design according to parameters determined by Non-equilibrium thermodynamics?
In my laboratory of design and innovation, JMJLAB, I start ways of research for answering these questions with the aim to establish new approaches to design of complex dynamic systems with predictable behaviour (socio-technical systems) and their application into the processes of energy efficiency and informative superiority.
