Three "pointfullness" models, in contrast to the oft-cited Steven Weinberg pointlessness universe model conjectures, namely: Blum model (1934), i.e. Harold Blum's chemical peneplanation evolution model, Beg model (1987), i.e. the physiochemical sociology model of Mirza Beg, and the De Lange model (2001), the Gibbs landscape model of Adriaan de Lange, which if which future state thermodynamic inflection "points" of free energy (thermodynamic potential) minimization. |
A visual of David Hwang's 2001 "thermodynamics of love" model, shown people can end up in both "happy" and "unhappy" end "points" in the course of their interactions and reactions with people, depending on their choices, all of which can be measured thermodynamically in terms of differences in Gibbs energy, between the before "point" and the after "point". |
“The system – solid or social – will be stable only if the negative free energy (-dG) is at a maximum [point]. This idea goes back to Empedocles (450BC), who in his On Nature explains that solubility of wine in water similar to love of relatives, and Goethe (1809) who in his Elective Affinities demonstrated that love and marriage depend on the physico-chemical laws of society.”— Jurgen Mimkes (2012), Chemistry of the Social Bond (Ѻ)
“Life as we know it, is a point in our existence. If we trace back our beginning up to this point of our existence and try to project it to our probable existence thereafter, our life is a point in our existence where we become animated because of light, energy and matter coming all together to make us what we are.”— Canadian Anon (2017), “A Point in Existence”, tread post (Ѻ) to panbioism, Dec 11
