A scheme is proposed for the analysis of spatially inhomogeneous periodic and quasiperiodic structures, with respect to time, by using the facilities of homotopic topology. The concept of topologically stable (and unstable) dissipative structures is introduced. Dissipative defects that are the analogs of defects of ordered media are investigated within the framework of the approach elucidated.
