# U10 Thermodynamic Data Classes
**Entity class:** Concept or analytic term
**Domain:** Continuity Modeling / Thermodynamics
**Doc Type:** Research-Frontier Model Node
**Maturity:** Conceptual Modeling
**Related:** [[U3 Molecular Data Classes]], [[Time Asymmetry]], [[Information Theory]]
---
## Definition
**U10 thermodynamic data classes** are continuity-modeling categories described in the source article for entropy flow, temporal asymmetry, and physical constraints on a biological or emulated system. They make explicit that a living neural process is not only a graph but an energy-consuming, history-dependent dynamical system.
## Evidentiary boundary
U10 is a theoretical modeling layer rather than a codified neuroinformatics standard. It marks variables that a purely structural snapshot may fail to retain.
