Summary
DescriptionSurprisal.gif |
English: Energy Flows (left panel): The top half represents some of the primary processes involved with ordered energy flow, while the bottom half illustrates significant physical repositories for available work, and paths for conversion of that energy (and net surprisal) from one form to another.
Subsystem Correlations (right panel): Horizontal bars represent inward-looking correlations, while vertical bars represent outward-looking correlations. This breakdown seems to work reasonably well to categorize by domain both the types of correlations found, and the types of codes (e.g. genetic or memetic replicators) used to help maintain them. Units: The processes noted by arrows may be measured in either available work-flow at a given ambient-temperature, or mutual information-flow per unit time i.e. in either Watts of ordered-energy or bits/second of subsystem-correlation. The former has been recognized as a special case of the latter, perhaps since the days of J. W. Gibbs' dimensionless-availability[1]. |
