Abstract
Understanding how macroscopic nonequilibrium systems respond to changes in external or internal parameters remains a fundamental challenge in physics. In this work, we report a parameter transitional symmetry valid for macroscopic dynamics arbitrarily far from equilibrium. The symmetry leads to exact response relations and gives meaningful expansions in both linear and short-time regimes. This framework provides a universal description of macroscopic response phenomena arbitrarily far from equilibrium - including non-stationary processes and time-dependent attractors. The theory is validated and demonstrated numerically using the Willamowski-Rossler model, which exhibits rich dynamical behaviors including limit cycles and chaos.
