\section{Introduction}  Rate coefficients define a paramater capable of almost universally characterizing any kinetic process. There are many instances where the traditional kinetics model does not sufficiently describe a population decaying over time [insert citation]. These cases are more accurately described by either a distribution of rate coefficients, or a time dependent rate coefficient, defined as static or dynamic disorder respectively [insert citation]. Therefore the ability to quantify these types of potentially inclusive disorders is essential information for understanding your system. In our previous work a theory was developed for analyzing first order irreversible decay kinetics through an inequality[insert citation]. The convenience of this inequality is through its ability to quantify disorder, with the unique property of becoming an equality only when the system is disorder free, and therefore described by chemical kinetics in its classical formulation. The next problem that should be addressed is that of highter oreder kinetics, what if the physical systems one wishes to understand are more complex kinetic schemes, they would require a modified theoretical framework for analysis, but should and can be addressed. To motivate this type of development systems such as...... are all known to proceed through higher ordered kinetics, and all of these systems possess unique and interesting applications, therefore a more complete kinetics description of them should be pursued[insert citations].   For this work we propose a generalization of our previous first order irreversible decay kinetics to higher orders, with complete framework analyzing any $n^{th}$ order system with this description.
