Bon Jour, Claude, as far as I'm able to see, the one way folw of energy from order to disorder that is what's described by 2nd Thermo (wdb2t) Determines Physical Reality. All of Chemistry, all the way up to the Chemistry of Life, finds everything it Needs in wdb2t. There's no "randomness" (which is why I refer to "what's described by 2nd Thermo", rather than "2nd Thermo", which is Statistical, and which had been applied only to Heat Energy), yet because, while being Deterministically-Uniform, overall, there's Awesome Creativity inherent in wdb2t, be-cause there are "hot spots" and "cold spots" (high and low energy-densities) distributed throughout the Universe... and where ever a Differential exists, energy flows from the more-ordered "zone" to the less-ordered "zone"... and it's this flow of energy that empowers everything within Physical Reality. That what has been referred to as "Self-organization" follows from such is a straight-forward thing to see, even with respect to Life. All that's required is a little going-deeper into what Life is to see that Life, itself is "just" wdb2t, Awesomely-Magnified. Start with bacteria (which are, admittedly, much more complex than any single "molecule of Life"). Given a nutrient concentration gradient, bacteria move their flagella in an ordered way if the concentration gradient is increasing... this tends to keep them "swimming" in the direction of increased nutrient concentration. However, if the concentration gradient is decreasing, bacteria tend to move their flagella Chaotically (Thanks Steve (MedSIG)). This will cause their movement to be somewhat chaotic, and they'll "tumble", which will result in their trying different directions until they find themselves in an increasing nutrient concentration gradient... which is far-better than "swimming" directly toward diminishing nutrient concentration... "Bacterial Chemotaxis". If one looks, one sees clearly that, in these chemotactic dynamics bacteria are Living embodiments, albeit, relatively-simple ones, of wdb2t, =Inverted=. That's what Life is... Life is the Challenge inherent in wdb2t, =Embraced=. Life's single Organizing Principle is "find the energy, and go there." So, when it comes to Creating a better organism, any energy-flow dynamic (all of which occur in Deterministic Accord with wdb2t) that will embue an organism with the ability to "find the energy, and go there quicker" will tend to be retained. At the molecular level, the "rules of play" Exist at the level of "atoms", which are largely as you described them in your post relayed by Ross. In my work, I take things down to pure energy and wdb2t, and describe what have been referred to as "atoms" as Spherical Standing Waves (SSWs) that are in harmonic "compression"-"expansion" interaction with the rest of the Universal Energy Supply (UES; SSW<->UES Harmonics), and hold that wdb2t holds even at this "atomic" level. The UES does work in sustaining the harmonic existences of what have been referred to as "atoms"... it is, in fact, =This Necessary Sustaining Work= that is the underpinning Raison Detre of the Physical Existence of wdb2t. I can take these things further, but I've never publicly discussed these further things... they are all still in my private language. So, thus unprepared, it's best that I at least Prepare before discussing. The Gift of my Life having Brushed-Up against Yours is a Wonderful Gift, Claude. This "Organizing Resonance" that You've Endured in Calling me to See is all-a-Wonder. I Shall Not waste =Your= Effort. Thank You.
