nd GLV distributions will be found to give general and stable descriptions of many complex systems that have hitherto been seen as insoluble. What Dewar, Levy and Solomon's systems consist of are three critical elements; a source, a sink, and some sort of self-limiting behaviour. This model is poten

is simply a complicated and interesting sub-section of the MEP function of the earth as a whole. 202 EFTA00625330 Returning to the mathematics, Dewar [Dewar 2005] has produced a seminal paper that derives maximum entropy production from the first principles of information theory and simple maximum

lots of boundary conditions, may be simple enough to be tractable to a traditional statistical mechanical analysis on the lines of Dewar, or indeed Champernowne. Before moving into further discussion I would first like to follow the maths through a little more. I would like to do two things. Firstly I would

appears not to have percolated into the general physics community despite appearing to have general applicability. The ideas of Paltridge, Lorenz, Dewar and others, along with the mathematical techniques of Levy & Solomon, may not be familiar to many physicists, and I believe may be very powerful in

he details of income and wealth distributions have rarely been studied in mainstream theoretical economics, a notable and important exception being Champernowne. Champernowne was a highly gifted mathematician who was diverted into economics, he was the first person to bring a statistical mechanical approach

ormation approach is more obvious mathematically, but like quantum mechanics, somehow seems to imply the necessary presence of an outside observer. Dewar's work, discussed in section 7.3 below may shed some light on this discussion. Both Atkins's and Ben-Naim's books are short and well written, and I

ater in economics, this area has attracted physicists and statistical mathematicians and engineers in significant numbers since at least the work of Champernowne. The reason is simple; to a statistical physicist, economics is obviously a multi-body phenomenon. It is messy. There are millions of agents in a t
