Abstract
The dissipation associated with nonequilibrium flow processes isreflected by the formation of strange attractor distributions inphase space. The information dimension of these attractors isless than that of the equilibrium phase space, corresponding tothe extreme rarity of nonequilibrium states. Here we takeadvantage of a simple model for heat conduction to demonstratethat the nonequilibrium dimensionality loss can definitely exceedthe number of phase-space dimensions required to thermostat anotherwise Hamiltonian system.
