Two major questions dS epr dS epr dS system e medium 1. In steady state, what does the state function T·dS medium mean? Total heat dissipation? Can it be used to perform work? It requires a “real driven” perspective and a minimum work argument. 2. In the relaxation process towards steady state, how to distinguish the two origin of nonequilibrium, i.e. nonstationary and non- detailed-balance (driven) of the steady state? T epr f Q d hk

Heat dissipation There is an external step for the regenerating system converting ADP+ P i back to ATP after each completion of a cycle. The minimum work (non-PV) it has to do is just the free energy difference between ADP+ Pi and ATP , i.e. W min ATP ADP Pi Driven energy of the internal system 0 0 0 ( ) ext h W h h h The extra heat dissipation min d ATP ADP Pi The total heat dissipation of such a reaction cycle is log ext h h W k T T S T S . min d d B e medium

QSS v.s. NESS close dF ; close f d dt close close dS h ; close d e p dt T 0 . Closed system open close close Te Te f p p d Very slow changing environment This reflects the different perspective of Boltzmann/Gibbs and Prigogine: Gibbs states free energy never increase in a closed, isothermal system; while Prigogine states that the entropy production is non-negative in an open system. They are equivalent.

Two origins of irreversibility 0 , 0 , f Q d hk 0 . Te f Q p d hk e p characterizes total time irreversibility in a Markov process. When system reaches stationary, f d = 0. When system is closed (i.e., no active energy drive, detailed balaned) Q hk = 0. Boltzmann: f d = T ∙ e p >0 but Q hk =0; Prigogine (Brussel school, NESS): Q hk =T ∙ e p > 0 but f d =0. f d ≥ 0 in driven systems is “self ‐ organization”.
