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 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

butions, and the split of the returns from labour and capital are all long-standing 'anomalies' within economics. Economists such as Schumpeter and Gabaix have noted these regularities [Gabaix 2009]. Why almost all other economists, even heterodox economists such as Gallegati et al, have shown such dis

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
