Abstract
► Dissipation can break symmetry in equilibrium. ► Broken symmetry is sustainable under equilibrium conditions. ► Directed transport under mechanical equilibrium conditions is possible. ► Such transport is consistent with energy conservation. ► Such transport is also consistent with the second law of thermodynamics.
