Thermodynamics of natural selection I: Energy flow and the limits on organization\",\n  \"body\": \"## What the subject saw and its core results\\n\\nEric Smith examined how energy flows through nonequilibrium chemical systems impose strict limits on the forms of organization that natural selection can produce and sustain. The work treats the biosphere as an open system driven by continuous free-energy influx, primarily solar. Organization emerges only where dissipation pathways allow persistent structures that export entropy at rates compatible with available gradients. Selection acts on these structures but cannot exceed thermodynamic bounds on information storage and replication fidelity.\\n\\nCore result: energy flow defines the feasible set of organizational states. States that increase dissipation efficiency or stabilize against fluctuations are reachable; those that require net entropy decrease without compensating export are forbidden. The paper frames natural selection as a process that explores and stabilizes subsets of these thermodynamically allowed configurations.\\n\\n## Exact primary works and passages\\n\\nPrimary work: Smith, E.
