Abstract:

The role of energy in molecular collisions and in systems in macroscopic disequilibrium can be compactly presented and discussed using surprisal analysis. A summary of four years of progress with special reference to the dynamical foundations and the predictive aspects is presented. A list of 35 articles and books in which the work described is delineated in detail is included. Author
