| Abstract | The 'negentropy' proposed first by Schroedinger is re-examined, and its conceptual and mathematical definition are proposed; which is shown to integrate Schroedinger's intention of its introduction, and the subsequent diverse notions in literature. This definition of negentropy is corroborated by its unique ability to state direct thermodynamic principles for order existence: 'Negentropy Principle', and order evolution: 'Principle of Maximum Negentropy Production'. These principles are the respective counterparts of the 'Entropy Principle', and the 'Law of Maximum Entropy Production'. The Principle of Maximum Negentropy Production combines the basic philosophies of the evolution theories postulated by Darwin and de Vries. The prime advantage of these two additional thermodynamic principles, is the resulting unified explanation of order creation, existence, evolution, and destruction; using thermodynamic principles only. |
