\section{Theory}
The main result in Reference[cite] is an inequality
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{L}(\Delta{t})^2\leq \mathcal{J}(\Delta{t})
\end{equation}
between the statistical length (squared)
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{L}(\Delta{t})^2 = \left[\int_{t_i}^{t_f}k(t)dt\right]^2
\end{equation}
and the divergence
\begin{equation}
\frac{\mathcal{J}(\Delta{t})}{\Delta{t}} = \int_{t_i}^{t_f}k(t)^{2}dt
\end{equation}
over a time interval $\Delta t = t_f - t_i$. Both $\mathcal{L}$ and $\mathcal{J}$ are functions of a possibly time-dependent rate coefficient, originally motivated by an adapted form of the Fisher information[cite]. We showed how the difference $\mathcal{J}(\Delta t)-\mathcal{L}(\Delta t)^2$ is a measure of the variation in the rate coefficient, due to static or dynamic disorder, for decay kinetics with a first-order rate law. The lower bound holds only when the rate coefficient is constant in first-order irreversible decay. Here we extend this inequality to disorder in irreversible decay proecesses with order higher than one. We show $\mathcal{J}-\mathcal{L}^2$ is a condition for constant rate coefficients. Accomplishing this end requires reformulating the definition of the time-dependent rate coefficient.
The survival function is a measure of the concentration of species at a time $t$ compared to the initial concentration
\begin{equation}
S(t) = \frac{C_A(t)}{C_A(0)}.
