Isotropy, entropy, and energy scaling

چکیده

Two principles explain emergence. First, in the Receipt’s reference frame, Deg(S) = 4 3 Deg(R ), where Supply S is an isotropic radiative energy source, Receipt R receives S’s energy, and Deg is a system’s degrees of freedom based on its mean path length. S’s 3 more degrees of freedom relative to R enables R ’s growth and increasing complexity. Second, ρ(R ) = Deg(R )× ρ(r), where ρ(R ) represents the collective rate of R and ρ(r) represents the rate of an individual in R : as Deg(R ) increases due to the first principle, the multiplier effect of networking in R increases. A universe like ours with isotropic energy distribution, in which both principles are operative, is therefore predisposed to exhibit emergence, and, for reasons shown, a ubiquitous role for the natural logarithm.

Qualitative Picture of Scaling in the Entropy Formalism

The properties of an infinite system at a continuous phase transition are characterised by non-trivial critical exponents. These non-trivial exponents are related to scaling relations of the thermodynamic potential. The scaling properties of the singular part of the specific entropy of infinite systems are deduced starting from the well-established scaling relations of the Gibbs free energy. Mo...

On the Universality of the Kolmogorov Constant in Numerical Simulations of Turbulence

Motivated by a recent survey of experimental data [K.R. Sreenivasan, Phys. Fluids 7, 2778 (1995)], we examine data on the Kolmogorov spectrum constant in numerical simulations of isotropic turbulence, using results both from previous studies and from new direct numerical simulations over a range of Reynolds numbers (up to 240 on the Taylor scale) at grid resolutions up to 512. It is noted that ...

Z scaling , fractality , and principles of relativity in the interactions of hadrons and nuclei at high energies

The formation length of particles produced in the relativistic collisions of hadrons and nuclei has relevance to fundamental principles of physics at small interaction distances. The relation is expressed by a z scaling observed in the differential cross sections for the inclusive reactions at high energies. The scaling variable reflects the length of the elementary particle trajectory in terms...

Information Storage in Liquids with Ordered Molecular Assemblies

In some unique cases, liquids can divert from pure isotropy due to the formation of ordered molecular assemblies with acquired “negative entropy” and information storage. The energy stored in such ordered domains can be combined with an independent quantitative parameter related to the degree of order, which can then translate the dormant information to the quantitative energetic term “informat...

Relationship between entropy and diffusion: A statistical mechanical derivation of Rosenfeld expression for a rugged energy landscape.

Diffusion-a measure of dynamics, and entropy-a measure of disorder in the system are found to be intimately correlated in many systems, and the correlation is often strongly non-linear. We explore the origin of this complex dependence by studying diffusion of a point Brownian particle on a model potential energy surface characterized by ruggedness. If we assume that the ruggedness has a Gaussia...
