fast as possible given the bearing constraints. They are unconditional
maximizers. Life that has survived has been able to apply conditions upon
its entropy production, but that does not mean that it has
Hi Stan,
T: Thanks for the references. I am embarrassed to say that I don't
think that I have read the two by Kampis. I will post references for
the MEPP critiques and counter-examples later next week. I am in Oslo
at the moment and don't have many resources at my disposal. Since MEPP
is not the

PS: Oops, slight misstatement re B convection. Of course the gradient
can be reduced by the convection process.

TD: Autogenesis is also not a Maximum Entropy Production process because it
halts dissipation before its essential self-preserving constraints are
degraded and therefore does not exhaust the gradient(s) on which its
persistence depends.
