" without any external source of power " assumes that a system whatever " it "
may be , can be isolated. This is only imaginary , and can only be simulated , the
seepage of external energy cannot be excluded ( cosmic rays and such ). This
must be what is responsible for sudden unexplained action. A system in it's
lowest possible energy state is in effect a sink for any surrounding higher energy.
I don't see this effect described as being essentially different ( probably because
I don't properly understand the implications ) from a molecule such as HCN
condensing into a trimer C3H3N3 lowering it's energy state. The conservation
of an energy state is only probable , some are more likely but unlikely does not
mean impossible.
