- “The coexistence of opposite but complementary processes” (H. & L. SABELLI, 1992, p.661).
H. and L. SABELLI's process theory “…postulates the existence of complementary opposite processes of evolution and involution” (p.683).
In their view, process theory “expands the second law of thermodynamics, postulating a more general hypothesis: processes tend to symmetry — including not only the point attractor of entropy, disorder and rest, but also complex attractors, chemical structures, biological organisms etc.” (1992, p.661).
According to SABELLI this term was introduced by HERACLITUS and adopted by C. JUNG.
The concept could become a framework for the complementary entropy and negentropy ones.
