Related matrix context

This claim does not itself create a matrix cell. The context below belongs to Information-to-work conversion, the phenomenon it is about.

D = disequilibrium row · C = coupling family column. A cell reads the state of the atlas for that pair.

family: Fluctuation / information-driven (C.31)
D.21 × C.31 · Thermal energy at uniform temperature × Fluctuation / information-driven · Demonstrated
