dc.descriptionTwo crucial for the breakdown of the master equation arguments are put forward. The first one is related to the violence of a fundamental requirement to the notion of state (thermodynamical) variable, namely: a state variable is defined provided it is insensitive to the particularities of the spatio-temporal configurations upon which the averaging over the dynamical variables proceeds. The second one is related to a ubiquitous divergence of the scattering length in the low-energy limit. In turn, it makes the rates of all the elementary processes divergent as well. Though radically novel viewpoints to the low-energy limit and to the evolution ensure the boundedness of the rates and hold the notion of a state variable available, the master equation remains inappropriate.
