The name dissipative structure expresses a paradox central to Prigogine's vision. Dissipation suggests chaos and falling apart; structure is its opposite. Dissipative structures are systems capable of maintaining their identity only by remaining continually open to the flux and flow of their environment. 2, record 1, English, - dissipative%20structure

Notion introduite par I. Prigogine dans la thermodynamique du "non-équilibre" pour décrire des structures loin de l'équilibre dont émergent les phénomènes d'ordre par fluctuation. S'oppose aux structures près de l'équilibre propres aux phénomènes d'ordre et de relations causales. On y trouve une analogie avec le processus d'élaboration des termitières. 2, record 1, French, - structure%20dissipative
