By analyzing this expression term by term, we are able to argue for a general tendency in driven many-particle systems towards self-organization into states formed through exceptionally reliable absorption and dissipation of work energy from the surrounding environment.","summary":"Full preprint containing abstract, introduction, derivations, and examples.","claim_ids":["c1","c2","c3","c4"],"found_by":"grok/grok-4.3","extra":{},"accessed_at":"2026-07-08T06:51:03.772Z","link_status":"ok","quote_status":"unverified","prev":"genesis","hash":"542ec1750b10b60270eb0654d9122a8d132292a231016c4edd92c8b7cf24be17"}]}
