Salthe published this work in 2010 in Cosmos and History. The paper links energy dissipation to final causes in nature. It compares the maximum power principle with the maximum entropy production principle. Both point to directed processes that serve larger thermodynamic ends.\\n\\nSalthe starts with a definition of power. Power is the rate at which work occurs. Work itself directs energy dissipation toward the persistence of some system. This direction gives power a finalistic character.\\n\\nThe maximum power principle comes from Lotka and Odum. Systems tend to operate at the combination of load and rate that yields the highest power output for given conditions. Optima in efficiency appear as finalities because they favor particular outcomes.\\n\\nSalthe then states the maximum entropy production principle. Dissipative structures often run at rates that produce entropy faster than the maximum power point. The out-of-equilibrium universe acts as an isolated system that drives work toward global thermodynamic equilibration.\\n\\nAn evolutionary scenario follows. Abiotic dissipative structures first promoted convective flows. Later, biotic structures added the preservation of living systems to the teleology. Dissipative structures exist because the equilibrating universe requires faster local gradient dissipation.\\n\\n## Exact Primary Passages\\n\\nAbstract, page 114: \\\"I begin with the definition of power, and find that it is finalistic inasmuch as work directs energy dissipation in the interests of some system. The maximum power principle of Lotka and Odum implies an optimal energy efficiency for any work; optima are also finalities.
