80. G.P. Beretta
Four rules of thermodynamic modeling reveal general laws of Nature. First: energy must be defined. Second: entropy must be defined. Third: stable equilibrium states of lowest energy must have zero temperature. Fourth: nonequilibrium dynamics of irreversible relaxation must be steepest entropy ascent with respect to some metric in state space
