| Summary: | The paper is concerned on the important issues of the causal or
structural relations between the sustainability of the whole Universe and the
dissipative systems in our bubble of Universe. Based on the gap between the
general entropy velocity and the entropy velocity inside the dissipative systems,
a taxonomic criterion for identifying the classes of dissipative systems is
captured and operated. In this context, the correlation between the entropic
sustainability and the dissipative systems is examined and concluded. The paper
argues for the necessity (in the logic order) to pass from the optimal rationality
to the sustainability rationality, based on the entropy conclusions and predictions
(in the matter, three types of social rationality are identified and logically
characterized*. In addition, the paper analyzes the arguments to assert
that the complementary environment of a done dissipative system is complementary
only in a relative way. This relativity is examined from the perspective
of the Prigogine’s principle of the minimum production of entropy (for the
mentioned principle, the paper aims to provide a sui-generis demonstration),
by proposing the concept of the minimum entropic gradient as anchor of the
entropic interaction in the Universe. All these results or observations could be
used by other researchers to apply them to the economic systems which are, of
course, dissipative systems. |
