Prigogine's theorem is a theorem of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, originally formulated by the physical chemist Ilya Prigogine.
Facts
StatementIn a stationary state, the production of entropy inside a thermodynamic system with constant external parameters is minimal and constant. 1 Classification
Statement Form Connections
Has Statement Form
Entity-backed identity for the statement-form enum value this theorem already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The statement-form fact itself stays on the theorem unchanged.
