Abstract
We can divide the time evolution of a system into two classes. In one, a part of the system changes its state from time to time; chemical reactions, polaron mobility, diffusion of adsorbates on a surface, and protein folding belong to this class. In the other, the change of state takes place continuously; electrical conductivity, the diffusion of molecules in gases, and the thermoelectric effect in doped semiconductors belong to this class. Chemical kinetics deals with phenomena of the first kind; the second kind is studied by transport theory.
