Nonequilibria
Nonequilibria refers to systems or states that are not in a state of equilibrium, where there is a lack of balance or stability. These systems are characterized by constant change, with energy and matter continually being exchanged with their surroundings. Nonequilibria can manifest in various forms, such as chemical reactions, fluid flow, or ecological systems, where the system is in a state of flux and undergoing dynamic processes. In these systems, there is a perpetual state of imbalance, with fluctuations and interactions driving the system towards a state of equilibrium.
