disequilibrium Disequilibrium is a necessary preconditions for energetic activity (self-organization). Prigogine reconciled the apparent contradiction between the mechanistic and non-linear descriptions of the world, by simply holding that some times things in the world operate like machines, these are stable closed systems and they operate in a states of equilibrium, while other phenomena belong to non-linear open systems and within them disequilibrium is a necessary condition for the emergence of order, and a localized decrease in entropy. This apparent violation of the second law of thermodynamics is permitted because the second law pertains to averages in closed systems. While energy systems like the ISS’s is necessarily stable and conservative, energetic urban systems are seething with chance in a state far-from equilibrium, where energy is exchanged between system and environment in a non-conservative manure allowing small fluctuations, or instabilities to be amplified and reinforced to produce a highly ordered new states.
variation In biology, evolution refers explicitly to mechanisms by which new species emerge from random mutation and out-compete existing species. More generally, evolution describes the process of overall change in complex systems resulting from the selection and propagation of successful variations. Again, we return to the necessity of “noise� or chaos in evolving systems as the source of variation and difference. In fact, Christopher Langton suggests that this reliance on chaos means that systems exhibiting edge conditions can have a selective advantage over other systems because they have access to the richest and most complex milieu to select from. connectivity Furthermore, isolation stabilizes a system as the most successful species quickly saturate the region, and the homogenization effectively removes variation and the potential for new species emergence, a process referred to as speciation. Hence, connectivity also plays a large role in system evolution, because it is a source of perturbation and leads to the creation of new niche conditions that new species may emerge to fill.
Energy or vitality is a capcity to act or be active While energy systems may be closed and conservative An energetic system is locally unstable because it participates in multi-scalar and manifold system of exchange within a local and global milue. unlike stable urban systems where change is gradual and predictable, energetic ones jump in spurts between stable and unstable states. ie. energy flows in disrupting stability and introducing opportunity in the form of variation. variation then is a precondition and consequence of an energetic production connectivity is also a precondition because isolation stabilizes a system as the most successful species quickly saturate the region, and the homogenization effectively removes variation as well as the potential for emergence, a process referred to in biology as speciation. proposal Layers of connection and difference generally describe the post-industrial urban condition of 22@ creative rezoning as industrial space is appropriated cheaply for diverse program, functionally blocks once dominated by industry become fragmented and a condition of mass difference becomes manifest. This however results in the productions of economic niche conditions that are produced and filled by new development. However this stabilizing trend tends to raise cost of living, replace creative energy with profit-oriented enterprise, and displace community of young artists/creative professionals.
we propose a systematic destabalization of block by deploying and embedding intellegence in the environment that forms a layer of real-time information that measures shifting field of potential. because by perpetuating a state of flux we favor those urban participants that can respond the quickest, can take advantage of distributedforms of real-time intellegence.
