Noun

(physics) Dilute or disorganized energy, which cannot be transformed into work.

:::The maximum fraction of an energy form which (in a reversible process) can be transformed into work is called exergy. The remaining part is called anergy , and this corresponds to the waste heat.Honerkamp, J. ? Statistical Physics ? Springer, 2002, p. 298 :::To be useful, internal energy has to be concentrated. The more dilute or disorganized the internal energy, the less useful it is ...Newman, Jay ? Physics of the Life Sciences ? Springer, 2008, p. 336

(pathology) Deficiency of energy.

(immunology) Lack of immunity to an antigen.

Noun

(-)

(thermodynamics) Volume-specific entropy surplus above background, which can be exported and do work in the process.

:::The bound entropy is determined by the microscopic degrees of freedom of the network and is not available as useable information. In analogy with free energy, which is the energy available to do work, we have free entropy, which is the entropy available to produce useful information. Thus, the free entropy is precisely the neg-entropy discussed by Szilárd, Wiener, Brillouin and so many others.West, Bruce J.; Scafetta, Nicola ? Disrupted Networks: From Physics to Climate Change ? Studies of Nonlinear Phenomena in Life Science, v. 13. World Scientific, 2010, p. 150 :::… negentropy is really another term for an increase in available energy.Corning, Peter A. ? Holistic Darwinism: Synergy, Cybernetics, and the Bioeconomics of Evolution ? University of Chicago Press, 2005, p. 329 :::To be useful, internal energy has to be concentrated. The more dilute or disorganized the internal energy, the less useful it is ...Newman, Jay ? Physics of the Life Sciences ? Springer, 2008, p. 336
