The thermodynamics-centered framework for modeling action potentials uses a holistic/non-mechanistic approach, focuses on macroscopic thermodynamics (state variables), emphasizes structural transformations (phase transitions) in collective properties of polymeric cellular entities (lipid cell membrane, cytoskeletal elements), treats electrical and non-electrical phenomena as consequences of a single physical process, and views propagation as a largely reversible, energy-conserving process.
