<p>In <a href="page.php?w=thermodynamics">thermodynamics</a>, a <b>spontaneous process</b> is a <a href="page.php?w=thermodynamic_process">process</a> which occurs without any external input to the system. A more technical definition is the time-evolution of a <a href="page.php?w=thermodynamic_system">system</a> in which it releases <a href="page.php?w=thermodynamic_free_energy">free energy</a> and it moves to a lower, more thermodynamically stable energy state (closer to <a href="page.php?w=thermodynamic_equilibrium">thermodynamic equilibrium</a>).</p><p>
