The closest we got is nonlinear statistical mechanical theories of life. Prof. ilya prigogine was the frontier in this area. He got nobel prise in non equilibrium statistical mechanics. His work mainly consist of trying to show ordered structure can happen even if no equilibrium achived. Life itself is a non equilibrium phenomena, so there is some connection.
