- “The process of negentropy importation”(K. BAUSCH, glossary, Pers. comm., 2002)
BAUSCH adds: “a syntropic system is a dissipative structure ”(Ibid)
So called negentropy can be imported into the system as energy inputs or as already organized matter (food for ex. or pure iron, refined from iron ore)
Dissipative structuration is more readily associated with inputs of energy that is used by the system to maintain existing structures , or create new ones in case of excess of energy inputs.
