A visual of the human movement "driven" by external forces, and or possibly internal forces, in mechanism connectivity, according to 1796 human chemical theory of German polymath Johann Goethe, showing a human chemical reaction occurring via the action of the electromagnetic force; using the exchange force model of mediated or induced movement interactions.

“Every force tends to give motion to the body on which it acts; but it may be prevented from doing so by other opposing forces, so that equilibrium results, and the body remains at rest. In this case the force performs no work. But as soon as the body moves under the influence of the force, work is performed.”

“God who gave animals self motion beyond our understanding is without a doubt able to implant other principles of motion in bodies which we may understand as little. Some would readily grant this may be a spiritual one; yet a mechanical one might be shown.”

“There are, by nature, stronger or weaker bonds between chemical components, and when they evidence themselves, they resemble attractions between humans. This is why chemists speak of elective affinities [A = -ΔG], even though the forces that move chemicals [or humans] one way or another and create chemical structures are often purely external in origin.”

“The human organism is an intelligent entity that works under the guidance which man has designated as chemical affinity.”

“Living, you see, like this plant, is something spontaneous. In Chinese, the word for nature is dàzìrán (大自然), which means that which happens with itself, not under any control of an outside force, and they feel that all of the world is happening in and of itself—it’s spontaneous.”

“If the universe is not ‘dead’, if it is not simply a huge mechanical system running according to a handful of laws at work in a vast ocean of chaos then it is in some sense ‘alive’. A more accurate term would be ‘sentient’—an inherent capacity for feeling or experience. In other words, to make explicit the main argument of the book: the matter of the universe, its raw stuff or ingredients, has within itself the essence of what we call ‘consciousness.’ There is something about matter itself, some quality or property, some intrinsic principle, that moves matter from within, an automotive urge toward self-organization, evolution, and complexity. In short, matter feels and moves itself. It doesn’t require external forces pushing and pulling it.”
