CHAPTER

Dynamics and Flows in a Random Dynamical System

The chapter explores the dynamics and flows in a random dynamical system, discussing the soloidal and dissipative parts of any flow and their thermodynamic-like behavior. It emphasizes the importance of solenoidal and dissipative dynamics in biotic self-organization, and the significance of nested timescales in the body's dynamics. The chapter also touches on the concept of different scales, top-down and bottom-up causation, and the relational nature of the free energy principle.
