WHAT IS (SCHRODINGERS) NEGENTROPY

I attempt to outline, qualitatively, a 'thermodynamics of organized co mplexity' based on energy storage and mobilization in a coherent space -time structured system maintained far from thermodynamic equilibrium by energy flow. I propose that symmetrically coupled cycles win arise in open systems capable of energy storage, and that for such systems, the equal population of energy over all space-time domains (the 'k = c onst.' regime) is the extremum state. The regime is characterized by t he maximum of the Gibbs entropy function, S-G = -k Sigma(j) p(j) l(n) p(j), in which the potential degrees of freedom are maximized over all space-time domains, but it is also the state of minimum entropy becau se the activities in all space-time domains are effectively coupled to a single actual degree of freedom.
