ma and others. Throughout this paper comparisons are made to the work of Ian Wright who describes simulated economic models in two notable papers [Wright 2005, 2009]. Wright's models are significantly different to my own, most notably in not involving a financial sector. Also, unlike the present pape

negentropy created in the products of the firms. Essentially figures 1.3.5 to 1.3.7 bring together the economic and physical diagrams discussed in Ayres & Nair [Ayres & Nair 1984]; so that the circulation of wealth and money complies with the laws of physics as well as the laws of finance. The discussions o

My own models include a financial sector which is clearly more realistic, as Wright acknowledges in the Social Architecture

nsense. However the concept of absolute value is not nonsense, it is in fact very powerful. The concept of 'negentropy' as value, as articulated by Ayres & Nair [Ayres & Nair 1984] for example, is not just basic common sense; it works as a theoretical approach, as evidenced by the models in part A. Once the

ution becomes possible. Moving to a different issue, an element that is missing from this model, and indeed all my models, is that of unemployment. Wright's models are superior in this regard, and may shed light on this dynamic. Equation (4.7e), and a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, especially an offs

ropy, first proposed by Georgescu-Roegen have been treated as fundamental truths. Unfortunately these precepts are trivially mistaken. The paper of Ayres & Nair [Ayres & Nair 1984] provides a typical example. I have found this paper profoundly useful in guiding my ideas as to how to link the mathematics of e
