Continuous energy and matter flows through a system can produce coherent structures. These structures persist only while the flows continue. The classic example is the Bénard convection cell. Heat applied from below creates hexagonal patterns in a fluid layer. The patterns dissipate when the temperature gradient drops.\\n\\nPrigogine named these coherent states dissipative structures. They emphasize the constructive role of dissipation. The second law still holds globally. Local order increases at the expense of greater entropy export to the surroundings.\\n\\n## Primary Works and Passages\\nPrigogine received the 1977 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this work. His Nobel lecture states: \\\"Irreversible processes may lead to a new type of dynamic states of matter which I have called dissipative structures.\\\" The full lecture appears at https://www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2018/06/prigogine-lecture.pdf.\\n\\nThe book Order Out of Chaos, written with Isabelle Stengers and published in 1984, expands the ideas. One key passage reads: \\\"We now know that far from equilibrium, new types of structures may originate spontaneously. In far-from-equilibrium conditions we may have transformation from disorder, from thermal chaos, into order.\\\" Multiple secondary sources attribute this formulation to the 1984 edition.\\n\\nEarlier books include From Being to Becoming (1980) and the technical monograph Thermodynamics of Structure, Stability and Fluctuations with Paul Glansdorff (1971). These works develop the stability theory and bifurcation analysis that underpin dissipative structures.\\n\\n## Convergence Patterns Touched\\nThe work maps directly onto energy flow producing structure.
