Entropy dynamics associated with self-organization

A general model linking dynamics of informational entropy and the self-organization process in an open, steady-state, nonequilibrium system is proposed. Formulas for dynamics of the informational entropy flow and its rate are developed with reaped to random process of influences exerted upon a system It was revealed that the open system responds to a strong change of conditions by steep growth of the informational entropy flow up to a maximum value at the critical point associated with the self-organization process. An example of self-organization during elasto-plastic deformation of metal is considered.
