Abstract
It is argued that the dynamics of an isolated system, due to the concrete procedure by which it is separated from the environment, has a non-Hamiltonian contribution. By a unified quantum field theoretical treatment of typical subdynamics, e.g., hydrodynamics, kinetic theory, master equation for a particle interacting with matter, we look for the structure of this more general dynamics.
