Prigogine: order under non-equilibrium conditions (Challoner, 2026)
Challoner separates equilibrium, stationary states, and far-from-equilibrium behaviour. Sustained exchange, instability, and fluctuations help explain dissipative structures in specified physical systems. These propositions require separate argument and evidence before application to organisations.

Summary
Challoner separates equilibrium, stationary states, and far-from-equilibrium behaviour. Sustained exchange, instability, and fluctuations help explain dissipative structures in specified physical systems. These propositions require separate argument and evidence before application to organisations.
Implications for practice
Inspect the passage and the stated domain before using a term in a new setting.
Key distinctions

Connections to practice
- Name the domain, conditions, and observation that could challenge the proposed connection.
Common confusions
- Treating a shared term as proof that two accounts are equivalent.
Further checks
- Original-source verification and human editorial review remain open.
