Topics — What a work is about. Nucleation holds whatever reading the owner files here, whether or not an Anthology of the SOTA topic could also hold it; instruction for ML practice belongs to the anthology (ADR-048). The words are seeded from the clusters the reading-time triage of 2026-09-25 found, and grow by decision.
Thermodynamics — the second law and its extensions read for themselves — entropy and entropy production, irreversibility, nonequilibrium steady states and their stability, dissipative structures, fluctuation theorems and stochastic thermodynamics, and the thermodynamics of computation and of life (ADR-020).

| CLAIM-273 v6 | A maintained r/place artwork copied from an off-canvas design is a dissipative structure in Prigogine’s structural sense, order held only by a sustained flow of repair against rival coalitions and against unaffiliated placement whose rate falls over the event, but its order is imported from the design and not born of an instability | The owner, on reading Wu and Silva’s finding that lasting artworks are those whose coalitions keep working under continual overwriting: “sounds like there’s likely a connection to dissipative structure here”. It holds for half of Prigogine’s criterion (NOTE-424): an open system kept from the state it would drift to by a sustained flow, here of placements. The flow works against two sources of corruption. One is rival coalitions. The other is unaffiliated placement, a real decay whose rate falls over the event (version 2, the owner’s correction, CLAIM-274). It fails for the other half, since a copied artwork’s order comes from its design, not from an instability (CASE-079; Adams et al. corroborate). No thermodynamic quantity is defined. | Active |
