Abstract
The statistical theory of nonequilibrium processes was launched by Ludwig Boltzmann, and the theory of dynamic systems by Henri Poincaré. We know well how dramatic was the rivalry of these two schools in the beginning. And while the controversy has cooled down by now, these two directions have been developing more or less independently. The new theory of self-organization, synergetics, seems, however, to necessitate the merger of the two /1-5/.
This paper is dedicated to Prof. Hermann Haken, an outstanding scientist and, no less important, outstanding personality.
