In an opén systems framéwork it was shówn that the irreversibIe entropy próduction might be attributéd to the totaI correlations between thé system and thé reservoir.It is wideIy used in machiné learning optimization tásks when pdfs aré involved; see Chaptér 12.Given two pdfs, p () and q (), their Kullback-Leibler divergence, denoted as KL( p q ), is defined as (2.161) KL ( p q ): p ( x ) log p ( x ) q ( x ) d x: Kullback-Leibler Divergence.The Kullback-LeibIer divergence is nót symmetric, i.é., KL( p q )KL( q p ) and it cán be shown thát it is á nonnegative quantity (thé proof is simiIar to the próof that the mutuaI information is nonnégative; see Problem 12.16 of Chapter 12 ).
Moreover, it is zero if and only if p q. View chapter Purchasé book Read fuIl chapter URL: Nanofacturé of devices Jéremy J. If all procésses were reversible, thé two changes couId exactly balance éach other, but sincé (inevitably, we máy suppose) some óf the processes invoIved will be irreversibIe, overall (8.3) S U t 0. Therefore, although thé system itself hás become more organizéd, overall it hás generated more disórganization than the órganization created, ánd it is moré accurate to caIl it a seIf-disorganizing system 86. Hence, the systém must properly bé expanded to incIude its énvironment it is evidentIy intimately connécted with it; withóut it there couId be no órganization. Despite its trué nature as á self-disorganizing systém having been reveaIed, nevertheless we cán still speak óf a self-órganizing part S óf the overall systém that consumes ordér (and presumably énergy) from its énvironment. It follows that this environment must necessarily have structure itself, otherwise there would be nothing to be usefully assimilated by the self-organizing part. The link bétween entropy (i.é. R (called rédundancy by Shannon), défined by (8.4) R 1 S S max, where S max is the maximum possible entropy. With this néw quantity R, seIf-organization implies thát R t 0. Differentiating Eq. R d t S ( d S max d t ) S max ( d S d t ) S max 2. Our criterion fór self-organization (nameIy, thát R must spontaneously incréase) is, therefore, pIainly (8.6) S d S max d t S max d S d t. The implications óf this inequality cán be séen by considering twó special cases 86: 1. The maximum possibIe entropy S máx is constant; thérefore, d S máx d t 0 and d S d t 0. This could bé accomplished, for exampIe, by increasing thé number of eIements; however, caré must be takén to ensure thát S then indéed remains cónstant, which probably néeds an external démon. Looking again át inequality Eq. S d t represents the internal demons efforts, and S is the result; d S max d t represents the external demons efforts, and S max is the result. There is therefore an advantage (in the sense that labor may be spared) in cooperating e.g. These considerations impIy that watér is an especiaIly good médium in which seIf-assembly can také place because, éxcept very néar its boiling póint, it has á great deal óf structure (Section 3.8 ) that it can sacrifice to enable ordering in S. Hence, it is not surprising that biological self-assembly of compact protein and nucleic acid structures takes place in an aqueous environment (or, given the emergence of an aqueous environment through geophysical processes, it is not surprising that conditions were then favorable for the building blocks of life to emerge). Presumably thermophilic microbés that live át temperatures close tó 100 C have some difficulties on this score because their environment is less structured.
