Abstract

The energy and dynamic characteristics of self-organizing and organized physical systems in which particles interact via electric fields are consistently considered in terms of the integral Lagrangian minimization. It is shown that the energy dissipation plays a minor role in self-organization processes. Two types of work are distinguished, basic differences and similarities between the systems are revealed, and comparison with living organisms is made.
