In this work we expand on this idea providing more generality and utility to the theory by generalizing to higher-order kinetics. 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. In this work we propose a method for studying these more complex cases in chemical kinetics proposing theory to analyze disorder in $n^{th}$ order kinetics and provide detailed proof-of-principle analyses for second order kinetics and mixed order kinetics for irreversible decay phenominium. We then connect this theory to previously accepted work on first order kinetics showing how the model simplifies in a consistent manner when working with first order models.  We consider the irreversible elementary reaction types  \begin{equation}  A^i \to \mathrm{products}\quad\quad\textrm{for}\quad i=1,2,3,\ldots,n
