Replying to Mauro Rebelo

#Nature is AMORAL and the way to approach it wt/ BIAS is through use of thermodynamical goal functions, such as #Emergy and #Exergy, that are complementary in SYSTEM analysis. 1/4

#Emergy is defined as the #Solar #energy required, both directly and indirectly, to generate a FLOW or STORAGE within a system. #Exergy measures the maximum WORK that can be extracted from a system as it approaches thermodynamic equilibrium with a reference state. 2/4

Unlike #emergy, which encapsulates the history and all processes leading to the current state, #exergy reflects the current state’s level of organization and information content. 3/4
