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

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

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

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

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

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.
