Topological nature of the inertiality of a nonequilibrium system far from equilibrium

We consider inertial and topological properties of a nonequilibrium system far from the equilibrium. We show that from the topological standpoint, the layered structure of the energy levels of a nonequilibrium system leads to the concept of connectivity. We state an assumption on the key role of the dimension of the hypersurface of the full entropy production in the study of the inertiality of an irreversible process in a nonequilibrium system including in the region of unstable states.
