Hmolpedia (eoht.info) or Encyclopedia of Human Thermodynamics, Human Chemistry, and Human Physics (see: etymology), a ‘two cultures’ integrating one nature modern Faustian-outlook encyclopedia, is a work-in-progress, prolegomenon, collectively-written online (and print set) compendium of 3,640+ articles on the study of the application of the hard sciences of thermodynamics, chemistry, and physics to the analysis and explication of human existence, experience, and movements, as these intersect with and overhaul the soft sciences of the humanities.

“Manifold avenues open up almost as soon as one begins to tackle the problem.”

— Romanian scholar (1971), on the second law applied to socioeconomics

Top: the so-called "island model" used classically to conceptually understand basic human chemical thermodynamics concepts, e.g. system, social chemical potential, bond energy, etc. Left: the Papin engine, the basis of the laws of thermodynamics, which govern the universe. Center: depiction of abiogenesis, namely the hypothesis (Thomas Huxley, 1870) that by heating and or adding energy to non-living matter, life can be generated, i.e. a frog will eventually hop out of the primordial soup; the logic of which many, in modern times, adhere to via a combination of the Miller-Urey experiment (1952), the RNA world hypothesis (Walter Gilbert, 1986) (Ѻ), the hydrothermal vent theory (Gunter Wachtershauser, 1990) (Ѻ), among other arguments. Right: the earth, surface-attached social systems in particular, visualized in the "thermodynamic systems" perspective, alternative heated (fire "day" hot body) and cooled (water "night" cold body), cyclically, as working bodies, triggering metamorphosis (aka evolution) via electrochemical processes.

Two cultures | Divide
In the earlier 19th century, bulk human knowledge had begun to grow so fast that last universal geniuses were beginning to die off, modern thinkers were beginning to suffer from the effects of mental "hydraism", according to which by 1833 the so-called “intellectuals” of the world were forcibly divided (see: Whewell-Coleridge debate) between those who worked in the “real sciences” (Samuel Coleridge, 1833), i.e. mathematicians, physicists, and naturalists (William Whewell, 1840), and those who worked in the other seeming “sciences”, i.e. poetry, arts, humanities, or soft sciences, and the metaphysical fields of social concern, namely those connected with moral philosophy ideologies. In the early 20th century, bulk human knowledge had grown so that the so-called biological-minded social philosophers were beginning to be surrounded and encompassed by the physical scientists and natural scientists:

“Surrounding us on all sides are the physicists, chemists, geologists, and astronomers, with whom we must reckon, for their domains and their subject matter overlap ours in countless ways.”

— William Patten (1920), Social Philosophy of a Biologist

“Since my name is not Socrates or Einstein and I hold only one of the seven or eight PhD degrees [organic chemistry] this problem requires, readers are quite justified in questioning my qualifications to testify as such a multidisciplinary expert.”

— George Scott (1985), on the ethics and physical chemistry of will

In the decades to follow, the puzzling phenomenon of "anti-interdisciplinarity" (see: interdisciplinarity) emerged, a type of defense mechanism, according to which each intellectual turf, set by ingrained beliefs, tended to defend its own, whereby those few “engaged in integrative thought” (Harold Morowitz, 1979) lost status, after which, going into the 21st century, the "mental divide dilemma" (Medi Belortaja, 2009) resulted, each scientific specialty, or mind of that specialty, divided against each other in views and inherent beliefs about human nature.

Humanities + Thermodynamics
The following flow chart shows the overall ongoing construction process of Hmolpedia, namely the dissection and re-interpretative understanding of the humanities and social sciences according to core laws of nature, the foremost of which is Clausius-Gibbs based thermodynamics, in other words in terms of the energy (i.e. enthalpy) and entropy (i.e. transformation content), something worked out in basic framework two centuries ago by Goethe in terms of human chemical reactions and chemical affinity or "elective affinities", the three (energy, entropy, and affinity) relate via the affinity-free energy equation, according to the thermodynamic theory of affinity, proved in 1882 by Helmholtz, all of which derive from Newton's last and final Query 31:

Physicochemical humanities | Equation flowchart
The following physicochemical overlay diagram, below left, and equation flow chart, below right, give an overview of Hmolpedia and of hmolscience, human chemical thermodynamics, and or the physicochemical humanities in general:

(Mirza Beg, 1987)	(Frederick Rossini, 1971)

The two above diagrams, in short, show a re-conceptualization of humans and social systems as types of physicochemical systems, governed by the partial differential equations of chemical thermodynamics, with the implicit derived result that humans, animals, plants (e.g. diagram below right), and so-called lower forms of powered chemical animation (e.g. bacteria, viruses, walking molecules, etc.), are not "living things" (a religio-mythology conception), but CHNOPS+ structures in powered states of driven animation. The diagram, above left, is from the cover of Indian-born Pakistani organometallic chemist Mirza Beg’s 1987 book New Dimensions in Sociology: a Physico-Chemical Approach to Human Behavior, depicting a conceptualization of slums (or huts), middle class, and big cities as different molecular aggregate states, akin to atoms or molecules in the gas, liquid, and solid state, respectively, according to which human behavior is conceptualized as molecular or chemical behavior, described according to the physicochemical methods and principles of physical chemistry, e.g. activation energy (diagram overlay shown), free energy change, bond energy, etc. The equation flowchart, above right, first outlined in the 2012 Elective Affinities "equation decipherment" article, then presented by American electrochemical engineer Libb Thims at UPESW 2013, Pitesti, Romania, gives an overview of the equation structure of the physical chemical reductionism of the humanities, from the invention of the equal " = " sign by Welsh physician-mathematician Robert Record (1557), i.e. equation invention, to American chemical engineer and physical chemist Frederick Rossini's 1971 derivation of what he defines as "chemical thermodynamics in the real world", according to which entropy ΔS and enthalpy ΔH changes govern the nature of freedom and security, respectively, in social reaction existence and experience equilibration processes.

Right: a representation of the God vs Gibbs debates, having erupted in the wake of the Rossini debate and human molecular theory.

Religion | God vs Gibbs

People (humans), not as living beings, but "powered" CHNOPS+ chemicals, molecules, or matrices (Henry Swan, 1974) is a well-honed modern description of the humans-as-molecules purview.

Historical | Human models
Historically, to put the above in context, the following, from UPESW 2013, is an historical retrospect look at the developmental modeling of the what the great thinkers, over the last 5,000-years, have modeled and conceptualized the "human" as: [2]
