Non-Linear, Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics
A branch of physics developed in the latter half of the twentieth
century that deals with systems of particles that are far from
the near-equilibrium conditions studied in classical thermodynamics
and which are governed by complex, non-linear forces. Significant
attempts have been made to extend this theory into the realm of
living (self-replicating) organisms.
