el concepto de organización está bien enraizado en el universo físico
Prigogine Ilya & Stengers Isabelle: ORDER OUT OF CHAOS (Bantham,
1984)
This is the english edition of "La Nouvelle Alliance" (1979).
Prigogine analyzes the history of science and scientific thought
and derives a new vision of the world.
Classical science (and quantum mechanics) describes a world as a
static and reversible system that undergoes no evolution, whose
information is constant in time. On the other hand the second law
of thermodynamics describes the world as evolving from order to
disorder, while biological evolution is about the complex emerging from the simple (structure, i.e. order, arises from
disorder).
Irreversible processes are an essential part of the
universe. Conditions far from equilibrium foster phenomena such
as life that classical physics does not cover.
Prigogine focuses on the peculiar properties exhibited by systems
far from equilibrium.
Non-equilibrium conditions favor the spontaneous development of
self-organizing systems (i.e., dissipative structures), which
maintain their internal organization, regardless of the general
increase in entropy, by expelling matter and energy in the
environment. Most of Nature is made of dissipative systems, of
systems subject to fluxes of energy and/or matter. Dissipative
systems conserve their identity thanks to the interaction with
the external world.
The concept of organization is deeply rooted in the physical
universe.
Prigogine considers living organisms as dissipative structures in
states of non-equilibrium. A system that is not in equilibrium
exhibits a variation of entropy which is the sum of the variations of entropy due to the internal source of entropy plus the
variation of entropy due to the interaction with the external
world. The former is positive, but the latter can equally be
negative. Therefore total entropy can decrease.
An organism "lives" because it absorbs energy from the external
world and processes it to generate an internal state of lower
entropy. An organism "lives" as long as it can avoid falling in
the equilibrium state.
Probability and irreversibility are closely related. Boltzman had
already proved that entropy grows because probability grows.
