FGM thermodynamics has been mostly based on adaptation of classical Gibbs-Helmholtz approach for infinite systems to locally “homogeneous” zones. A statistical sum calculation in this theory cannot predict inhomogeneous distributions. A new approach to the statistical description of solid solutions is suggested, which takes into account possible formation of spatially inhomogeneous simultaneous particle and field distributions in finite space domains. The formation of new periodical or gradated structure in binary system is described. The effective free energy of system was determined and the condition of formation of such spatially inhomogeneous distribution of interacting particles was obtained. New method may be applied to FGM to calculate ab initio free energy of these systems without usual limitations of classical theory.

Current Article

Abstract There are serious theoretical problems with the free-energy principle model, which are shown in the current article. We discuss the proposed model's inability to account for culturally emergent normativities, and point out the foundational issues that we claim this inability stems from.
