Abstract

It is shown that the evolution processes of any part or degree of
freedom of an isolated heterogeneous system are carried out by performing work
on them against the balance of other parts or degrees of its freedom and are
accompanied by their involution. This unity of the processes of evolution and
involution makes the thermodynamic criteria of the one-sided directionality of
spontaneous processes unacceptable for them and requires an explicit
consideration of their opposite orientation with the help of specific
nonequilibrium parameters. Parameters characterizing the removal from internal
equilibrium of any macrosystems up to the Universe as a whole are introduced,
and on their basis the criteria of evolution and involution of systems for each
degree of freedom inherent in them are proposed. These criteria confirm the
presence in nature not only destructive, but also creative tendencies. The
sources of free energy of the Universe caused by the processes of wave
formation in a non-baryonic substance and responsible for the evolution
processes in all its subsystems of any hierarchical level and any (organic and
inorganic) origin are revealed. Examples of evolutionary processes in the
observable (baryonic) matter of the Universe that support these criteria are given.
The conclusion is made that the concepts of "the emergence of order from
chaos", "self-organization" of closed systems as a whole,
"time arrows" and "thermal death" of the Universe are
groundless.
