This corrected methods preprint reformulates bounded transport as a near-local-equilibrium constitutive framework. Version 2 defines conjugate flux-force pairs so entropy production is not divided by temperature twice, restricts Onsager reciprocity to the applicable microscopic-reversibility and parity domain, and distinguishes continuous external power from release of stored free energy. Xylem is retained as an illustration of coupled gradients and fluxes rather than proof of a new transport law. No experimental validation is claimed.
