Coupling thermodynamics applied in chemical morphogenesis; influence of environmentally organized space-time structures upon nonequilibrium entropy functions of multivariate biosystems.

In this paper is proposed the so-called coupling thermodynamics which deals with coupled variables or elementary units which are influenced by input-output relations. In contrast to the usual definition of nonequilibrium entropy, external influences are considered directly in the entropy function dependent on space and time. The employment in morphology leads to a model of organized growth.
