Dissipative adaptation in driven self-assembly.
Paper summary
A theoretical perspective relates nonequilibrium dissipation, irreversibility, and driven self-assembly. It discusses how externally forced systems can acquire structures suited to absorbing and dissipating the supplied work.
Relevance to the project
Informs thermodynamic hypotheses and controlled driven-assembly comparisons. Keep entropy production separate from modeled usable-energy spending and evolutionary fitness.
The argument does not require all living systems to maximize entropy production.
