The EoHT wiki (eoht.info) is the central hub and entry portal for the work-in-progress collectively-written Encyclopedia of Human Thermodynamics (EoHT), a growing compendium of 1,680+ articles (sitemap) on the science of human thermodynamics or topics connected to the thermodynamical study of human existence, behavior, and activity (life), as viewed through the laws of thermodynamics, namely those aspects of daily human movement quantified by heat, work, energy, entropy, activation energy, free energy coupling, and other conjugate variable pair factors. [1]

“I have just recently found out about the EoHT—a truly marvelous project! I did not think that it could be possible for someone to be able to conduct such a demanding project, but the result itself proves it is possible. Thank you for the EoHT.”

— PhD physicist, comment to site creator Sadi-Carnot, Apr 13, 2009

A good get-your-feet-wet page to the site is HMS pioneers page (85+), a listing of thinkers in 'human molecular science', a chronological listing of people, throughout history, to have utilized human molecular logic, as found in the subbranch subjects of: human chemistry (HC), human physics (HP), and human thermodynamics (HT); the core of the site is the HT pioneers page (350+); a good utility-page is symbols; see also: new pages, site member index (listing of famous site members), FAQ, and objectives. The eoht wiki was #303 (of 1,936) on the 2010 AboutUs.org list of the best editable/collaborative wiki sites. [7]


The EoHT wiki, in basic structure, is slowly becoming the Internet's #1 go-to site for information on thermodynamics, the science of the relationship between heat Q and work W.

For those interested in application of hard science to the study of human existence, the site is a place for community collaboration on HMS-related topics such: psychodynamics, thermodynamic evolution, economic thermodynamics, anthropological thermodynamics, political thermodynamics, sociological thermodynamics, cessation thermodynamics, history thermodynamics, business thermodynamics, religious thermodynamics, philosophical thermodynamics, hierarchical thermodynamics, entropology, molecular evolution tables, dissipative structures, chaos, Maxwell's demon, drive, free will, morality, good and evil, theories of existence, love the chemical reaction, Prigoginean thermodynamics, the history of thermodynamics, etc.

How: can I help?
The EoHT is built on the framework of a Wetpaint wiki. Wetpaint is essentially like Wikipedia, albeit more functionable, meaning that each (unlocked) page can be edited by anyone. If, subsequently, you are familiar with how "wikis", meaning quick-edit software, work and with the theories, terms, conceptions or ideas, e.g. entropy and life, of those HT pioneers, who have thermodynamically theorized about the process of human activity, then first start an account (or contribute anonymously), second give the practice page or sandbox a test run to see how the editing tools work, and then help out in the following areas:

1. Read: editing rules (before adding or editing pages).
2. Add references, photos, and material to existing articles.
3. Help with language translations: Italian, French, or Farsi (see: English translations needed)
4. Add related video clips or lectures, e.g. from YouTube (or make your own).
5. Start articles or stubbies on related topics (e.g. see: list of articles to write).
6. Make a vizu poll, e.g. see poll: Greatest Thermodynamicist of All Time?
7. Join in with thread comment, discussion, cleaning, and or editing of these articles.
8. Donate used thermodynamics books (see: donation section).

Thermodynamics: library
The core of the EoHT wiki is American chemical engineer Libb Thims' growing collection of 290+ thermodynamics books, from which terms, factoids, equations, theory, history, trivia, biographies, derivations, overviews of famous publications, and references, etc., are slowly uploaded, wiki-style, online:

Pierre Perrot’s 1998 A to Z of Thermodynamics dictionary servers as a back-bone and model template to many of the EoHT articles.		Some of the core books in Libb Thims' thermodynamics book collection: the three most germane to human thermodynamics being: (1) Clausius' 1865 Mechanical Theory of Heat, (2) Gibbs' 1876 Equilibrium on the Heterogeneous Substances, and (3) Lewis' 1923 Thermodynamics and the Free Energy of Chemical Substances.		Online manuscript construction and discussion		Draft cover of possible future hardcover multi-volume: Encyclopedia of Human Thermodynamics.

People: particles or molecules
Philip Ball's 2004 "particle view" view of people (left), from his Critical Mass, which outlines a physics-based 'human particle' view of social behaviors, and Chris Gash's 2009 "molecule view" of people (right), from his NY Times article "Experiments Show That Molecules Can Walk, But Can They Dance?", a discussion on anthropomorphic-style nano-theory.

Particles: components of the universe

See also: social atom, human atomism, social atom, human atom

The overarching premise of the EoHT is very simple: the entire universe is comprised of particles, as defined by particle physics, and the laws of thermodynamics describe the operation, movement, and dynamic behavior of the particles of the universe. The particles which comprise one human, which can be defined either as a 'human particle' itself or as a 'human molecule', are shown in table below, which gives a particle overview of the composition of the universe. [1]

The subjects of statistical mechanics and statistical thermodynamics typically study systems whose entities (atoms, ions, molecules, chemical species, proteins, drugs, etc.) are modeled as discrete point-sized particles, assumed to have no inter-particle interaction, i.e. adhere to the Boltzmann chaos assumption. When people are modeled as point-sized particles, the subject becomes what would be called 'human statistical mechanics' or human statistical thermodynamics as contrasted with human chemical thermodynamics, which views people as systems of reactive molecules, and takes into account aspects such as bond energies, activation energies, free energy coupling, collisions, surface factors, and other energies of interaction.

Fundamental Particles	Composite Particles	Bound State Particles
Leptons and quarks form matter, while gauge bosons carry forces. Quarks feel the strong force, but leptons do not. Six different leptons exist, but the 2 above are the only stable ones and are those that occur in ordinary matter. There are 6 ‘flavors’ of quark, but only 2 occur in ordinary matter: ‘up’ and ‘down’. Each can exist in any of 3 ‘colors’. GAUGE BOSONS These are force-carrier particles. The photon and the graviton most germane to human movement. Some are yet hypothetical. ANTIPARTICLES Most particles have an antimatter equivalent that has the same mass, but whose charge and other properties are opposite.	Also known as hadrons, these are composed of quarks, antiquarks, or both, bound by gluons. BARYONS Relatively large-mass particles containing 3 quarks. MESONS Particles containing a quark and an antiquark. Hundreds of other baryons and mesons exist. EXOTIC PARTICLES Further particles have been hypothesized that do not have a place in this particle classification. They include magnetic monopoles, WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles), and tachyons (faster than light particles). – hypothetical exotics?	The term 'bound state' tends to be used to refer to objects, larger in size than the hydrogen atom, considered as a single entity, particularly in cases where the term 'molecule' is not employable. MICROBES Small motile entities, such as the avian flu virus (adjacent), having an approximate molecular formula of CE3HE3OE4NE4PE2SE2Ca50K50, can be viewed as a bound state of thousands of atoms. PEOPLE Humans, who have a measured 26-element molecular formula, can either be considered an abstract surface-attached 'human molecule', as is done in human thermodynamics and human chemistry, or as a 'human particle', as is done in human physics and human statistical mechanics, being treated in mass, statistically, to discern bulk social physics like behaviors. FAMILIES Three human molecules, MxFyBc, attached in the tight unit of a bound state family held together via force carrier particles called photons. GALAXIES Large aggregated galactic-sized structures, such as the milky way (adjacent), can be considered as a bound state of stars (e.g. sun molecule) and planets (e.g. earth molecule).

IQ: Smartest person ever
The most visited page at the EoHT wiki is the IQ = 200+ page, with about 1,300 visits per month (Feb 2010), which is a tabulated listing of individuals with an intelligent quotient of 200 or above, ranked in corroboration with American psychologist Catherine Cox’s 1926 Early Mental Traits of 300 Geniuses and English accelerated-learning expert Tony Buzan’s 1994 Book of Genius. Of interesting curiosity, the top four individual intelligences in the IQ = 225+ range (Goethe, Einstein, Sidis, Hirata) have each published views on thermodynamics and three of the four in human thermodynamics.

EoHT Ranking of IQ 225+ Geniuses
Person		IQ	Theory	Date
	Johann Goethe (1749-1832)	180-225	A = TΔS – ΔH AB + CD → BD + AC "human elective affinities"	1809
	Albert Einstein (1879-1965)	160-225	Gravity ≠ Love (relativity, entropy) (E = mc²)	1920
	William Sidis (1898-1944)	200-300	ΔS "entropy reversal theory"	1920
	Christopher Hirata (1983-)	225	ΔG = ΔH – TΔS X + Y ↔ XY "relationships physics"	2000
Four 225+ IQ range geniuses did work on entropy (S); three (Goethe, Sidis, and Hirata) on thermodynamics of human existence; and two (Goethe and Hirata) on the chemical thermodynamics of human relationships.

In short, among ceiling range geniuses, three are HT pioneers: Americans mathematician William Sidis (character behind Good Will Hunting), astrophysicist Christopher Hirata, and German polymath Johann Goethe, whose HT theories are shown adjacent to each photo (left). Goethe, the central founder of human chemistry, precursory pioneer of human thermodynamics, and the intellectual father to Einstein (Goethe’s collected works, in 52-volumes, formed the largest part of Einstein’s personal library), by no coincidence, is the only reoccurring person at the top of both the Cox and Buzan genius lists.

Hub: for famous publications
The EoHT famous publications page is a hub for focused articles of famous and or founding publications in human thermodynamics (as well as of chemistry and thermodynamics, as these connect to human applications), with summaries, links, free PDFs, Google books connections, and translations. A selection of representative famous nineteenth century human thermodynamics publications are listed below:

	Famous/Founding HT Publication	Significance	Person
1809	Elective Affinities	Founded the science of human chemistry by explaining the mechanisms of human relationships, e.g. marriage, friendships, daily work, occupation, and society, etc., in terms the logic of elective affinity (or chemical affinity A) and affinity reactions (chemical reactions).		Johann Goethe (1749-1832)
1859	The Principles of Social Science	Outlined a theory of ‘social gravitation’ of how people, the ‘molecules of society’, tend to aggregate in larger cities; outlined on how social movement will only accrue when the affinities are activated between people; used the Berthelot-Thomsen principle as a basis to formulate a theory of social heat, etc.		Henry Carey (1793-1879)
1868	Philosophical Implications of Thermodynamics	First book to address the philosophical ramifications of the newly-formed universal science of thermodynamics; Hirn's work is that to which the term 'human thermodynamics' was first used in reference (1893); see: etymology.		Gustave Hirn (1815-1890)
1887	The Doctrine of Energy	The final chapter argues that energy and entropy can be used to explain transformations and transitions of economies; and chapter three is on the philosophical and religious, e.g. existence of god, implications of thermodynamics.		Georg Helm (1851-1923)
1898	Essay on Social Mechanics	The first paper on human chemical thermodynamics, the thermodynamics of 'human molecules' based on the foundations of Clausius and Lagrange; taught a course on this subject for six years at the University of Geneva (1894-1900).		Leon Winiarski (1865-1915)
1899	Lessons on Social Movement	Explains large scale social movements, i.e. gross aspects of business, social events, states of a society, etc., in terms of pure thermodynamics, using Carnot efficiency, Mayer's conservation of energy, and Clausius' entropy, etc., discussed in the guise of mechanism and reaction.		Maurice Hauriou (1856-1929)

Spotlight: thinkers
The following are recently found, fascinating, individuals (a collection updated periodically) with very curious theories and points of view; shown here to give an in-the-spotlight or highlight of each individual or article. [2] Other suggestions for spotlight articles can be posted in the threads below.

Person	Contribution	Person	Contribution
Carl Neumann (1832-1925)	Neumann, according to the 1887 views of Georg Helm (The Doctrine of Energy), was said to have been the first to theorize, thermodynamically, in economic extrapolation, about the ‘internal energy capital’ of the body, and to have participated in the training of energy performances (efficiencies) in economic analogies.	Yevgeny Zamyatin (1884-1937)	Explained the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917 in the language of thermodynamics. Wrote the 1921 novel We from the human particle point of view focused on the connection between entropic mechanism, evolutionary vitalism, and revolution; also, due to synesthesia, described the “color of entropy”.
Mehdi Bazargan (1907-1995)	His 1956 book Thermodynamics of Humans, written while in prison (for efforts to bring democracy to Iran), applies thermodynamic formulation and equations to explain human activity; in 1979 he became prime minster (president) of Iran.	Manuel De Landa (1952-)	His 2002 book Intensive Science and the New Philosophy, explains how the thermodynamic conceptions of "intensive" properties (versus extensive properties) drives change in the dynamics of social and biological populations; his 2009 lectures, on 'materialism', advocates a philosophy that the world is one of material processes that exist independent of the mind, as explained by physics and chemistry.
Thomas Wallace (c.1937-)	His 2009 book Wealth, Energy, and Human Values, explains how 'enthalpy H and entropy S represent the variables of heat content and probability, respectively, for the processes of society and that free energy, defined by the Gibbs equation ΔG = ΔH – TΔS, represents the fundamental driving force that determines which physical and chemical processes of society will take place.

The EoHT evolution timeline is the the Internet's longest horizontally-scrolling evolution timeline, which shows the main steps in the chemical mechanism from assembly of subatomic particles 13.7-billion-years ago to the synthesis of the modern human being (a 26-element human molecule) 150,000-years-ago:

New links or intermediates in the connective timeline mechanism, from big bang to the formation of humans, are added periodically (the timelime evolves to). Help us add missing links in the mechanism. A moving timeline video, scrolled to the beat of Sam Sparro's song Black and Gold, can be watched, on the evolution timeline page, as well.

American chemical engineer Ted Erickson, pointing to a printed version of the evolution timeline, at a 2010 lecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology, attempting to argue to engineer Libb Thims and physicist David Gore, that Planck length particles have consciousness. [5]

A significant point of knowledge that can be gleaned from study of contiguous evolution tables, which start at hydrogen and end at human, each step of the table showing either the subatomic or atomic structure (a corresponding formula), a category differentiated by temperature, at a transition point of an average universe temperature of about 3,000K, below which point atoms begin to form, above which fundamental particles freely exist, is the very subtle view that the olden-day notion or theory of life becomes a non-functional and thus defunct theory replaced by that of a particle existence induced movement. In other words, one cannot say that the hydrogen atom is alive. The same must be true for the human molecule.

Spotlight: human thermodynamics websites
One of the first thermodynamics websites dedicated to the overarching objective of extolling on the merits of thermodynamic applications in the humanities was HumanThermodynamics.com, launched by American chemical engineer Libb Thims in 2005, conceived to present a simplified colloquial view of how thermodynamics applies to chemical reactions between people. Other sites dedicated to topics of applying thermodynamics to the humanities, include:

Site: SocialThermodynamics.hu	Site: Carbon-Entromorphology.com	Site: SocialThermodynamics.org
Launch: 2004	Launch: 2008	Launch: 2009
Hungarian sociologist Babics Laszlo presents his 2003 (95-page) treatise "The Mechanics and Thermodynamics of of Mass Societies", in both Hungarian and English translations, in which he seems to be the first person to make an attempt at a determination of a social Avogadro number, which he assigned as A = 60.	English biologist Mark Janes promotes a theory in which, similar to other human atom theories, he considers a human to be a "giant carbon atom", and uses aspects of chemical thermodynamics, particularly the Gibbs free energy, i.e. the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, to explain aspects of humanity such as: good, evil, purpose, evolution, sexuality, human bonding, etc.	Spanish physicist Alberto Hernando and business entrepreneur Gregory Botanes use concepts including Zipf’s law, Dunbar number, six degrees of separation, Shannon informatin, MaxEnt theory, and Fisher information, to model businesses and society as gas and liquid systems, so to consult companies using a semi-thermodynamics semi-information theory approach.

Human molecules: people defined atomically
The term 'human molecule', referring to a human being defined atomically, is the basic component (particle) of study in human thermodynamics and human chemistry. The first to coin the term 'human molecule' was French philosopher Hippolyte Taine (1869). Dozens of others, independently, began to extol on this view in the decades to follow. In circa 1877, for instance, French economist Leon Walras began to conceive of people as economic molecules and later his student Vilfredo Pareto (1896) came to define a social system specifically as:

“Society is a system of human molecules in a complex mutual relationship.”

This society equates to a system of human molecules definition was taken up by those as Pitirim Sorokin (1928) and later solidified into thermodynamic conception, independently, in 1952 by English physicist C.G. Darwin who defined the subject of 'human thermodynamics' as the thermodynamic (or rather the statistical mechanics) study of systems of 'human molecules'. The 2008, 120-page, book The Human Molecule, shown embedded (i.e. readable) below, by American chemical engineer Libb Thims, goes through the full history of the conception of the person defined as molecule and is prerequisite reading material prior to study in human chemistry or human thermodynamics:

Films: did you know:
The following are noted human thermodynamic films that are either based on human chemistry or human thermodynamics or on biographies of HT pioneers as they worked on human thermodynamic theory:

Freud (1962)	The Exorcist (1973)	Elective Affinities (1996)	Good Will Hunting (1997)	Sexual Chemistry (1999)	The Matrix (1999)
(Sigmund Freud) (Psycho-dnamics) (Carl Jung) (Psychic energy) (Psychic entropy) (Mihály Csíkszentmihályi) (Psychic negentropy)	(Pierre Teilhard) (God) (Entropy) (Evil)	(Johann Goethe) (Love) (Relationships) (Human chemistry) (Human elective affinities) (Human affinity table) (Death)	(William Sidis) (IQ:225+) Animate and the Inanimate (Entropy reversal) (Maxwell's demon) (Reserve energy)	(Sexual chemistry) (Sexual heat) (Sexual temperature) (Sexual thermometer) (Sex)	(Kevin Kelly) (Jean Baudrillard) (Evolutionary psychology)

● Did you know, for example, that Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud’s 1895 unpublished “A Project for Scientific Psychology” outlined of a chemical thermodynamics based psychology using the Helmholtz terms 'bound energy' and 'unbound energy', as a framework on which situate the science of psychology, a foundation of logic that Freud would utilize as a core basis throughout his twenty-four volumes of collected publications.

● Did you know that the inspiration behind the character of Father Merrin, in the best seller 1971 book The Exorcist (and follow-up 1973 film), was French philosopher Pierre Teilhard; and parts of the plot were themed on Teilhard’s omega point theory of evil (or the existence of Satan) in the world possibly being Lucifer [or matter-energy spirit] working out his [or its] salvation through the process of physical evolution ending in Teilhard’s omega point.

● Did you know that the 1809 novella Elective Affinities (and follow-up 1993 play Arcadia and 1996 film Elective Affinities) by German polymath Johann Goethe (IQ=225+) was based on Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman’s 1775 chemistry textbook A Dissertation on Elective Attractions, and that each of the 36-chapters of the novella was a human depiction of one of the Bergman’s sixty-four affinity reaction diagrams; and that in 1882, German physicist Hermann Helmholtz, in his “On the Thermodynamics of Chemical Processes”, showed that the true measure of affinity is free energy (A = – ΔG) , meaning that, in sum, the two publications conclude that human reactions are determined by the driving force of affinity and quantified thermodynamically by enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy changes (–TΔS).

● Did you know that the character in the 1997 film Good Will Hunting was based on the true life story of American child prodigy William Sidis (IQ=225+), and that Sidis wrote his great treatise, the 1920 The Animate and the Inanimate, an attempt to reconcile astronomy (black holes), the second law, and human existence, using a mixture of Maxwell's demon, reserve energy, and reverse entropy theories, while locked in an insane asylum.

● Did you know that many modern physicists consider the idea of ‘sexual heat’ to be something of a humorous fairly tail, a subject not germane to discussions in modern hard science; such as exemplified in the 2009 Moriarty-Thims debate.

Beckhap's law
Visual and verbal depiction of Beckhap's law (c.1975), that beauty times brains equals a constant: Screen shot (and thinking-to-herself words) of Cynthia, described as the "Superbowl of women", in the 2000 film 100 Girls. Beckhap’s law was corroborated by the 2002 study, by American chemical engineer Libb Thims, of 2,018 University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) college students, of the graduating classes of 1969 and 1972, showing that attractiveness (deemed attractiveness of graduation photo) is inversely proportion to intelligence (deemed intellectual difficulty of graduation degree); a follow-up to a Gibbs equation based derivation of the Beckhap’s law done the previous year.

● Did you know that actors in the 1999 film The Matrix, were required to read the entropy-theory laden futurism books the 1994 Out of Control: the New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World, by American futurist Kevin Kelly, and the 1985 Simulacra and Simulation, by French philosopher Jean Baudrillard, along with an introductory book on evolutionary psychology, by British philosopher Dylan Evans (Introducing Evolutionary Psychology, 1999), prior to even opening the script.

History: site origin

See main: EoHT (history)

In circa 1995, undergraduate chemical student Libb Thims, at the University of Michigan, began to wonder how the spontaneity criterion (ΔG < 0), particularly as discerned through Beckhap's law, applies to the male-female reaction, the central process of society, in which a man meets a women, they fall in love (20 percent of people fall in love at first sight and marry that person), produce a child; an entity which then begins to detach from the family household at about the fifteen-year mark; a process that 85 percent of people will go through. This so-called 'spontaneity criterion puzzle' is a reverse engineering problem-puzzle as to how to apply the well-established chemical reaction spontaneity criterion to the modeling of the spontaneities of human-human reactions, particularly in regard to mate selection, so as to be able to 'predict', in a theoretical (or actual) sense, spontaneous reactions in human relationships.

The central function of the EoHT is the collection of knowledge concerning how human chemical reactions are understood according to the spontaneity criterion.

The central issue, with this thick riddle, is the understanding of how enthalpy change ΔH and entropy change ΔS are to be understood in human chemical reaction terms, over the course of multiple decades, so as to yield a quantitative measure of Gibbs free energy change, between two points in time, differing by multiple years. It takes a minimum of at least 5-7 years, even for a well-schooled chemical thermodynamicist, to arrive at even a partial idea, interpretive visualization, or intuitive understanding as to how to go about gaining insight into this puzzle. A precipitate of this effort is the EoHT wiki, launched in 2007.

Detractors: be nice
If you find objection to any of the material on this site and feel the urge to post up unconstructive inflammatory commentary in the threads, as occasionally happens, it probably means that you are what one would call a detractor. [5] A detractor is someone who thinks that applying chemistry, physics, or thermodynamics to quantify human movement, activity, and purpose is a lunatic idea and by virtue of this mindset may tend to post up reflex response derogatory commentary in the threads. Detractors tend to be inflexible thinkers stuck in old-fashioned ideas and ways concerning the atomic definition of the human, i.e. human molecule, and the applicability and universal governance of thermodynamics to working body boundaried systems of humans. Detractors may also tend not to understand thermodynamics in full. Inflammatory detractor comments will quickly be deleted as they offer no beneficiary value and the detractor's IP address will be banned. If you have a theoretical objection to something, as these are always welcome, please explain cogently using courteous language over that of offering a string of slurs, foul vocabulary, or personal attacks.

The first two laws of thermodynamics, as Clausius stated in 1865, apply to every system in the universe. Einstein corroborated this, in the 1940s, by stating that, in his opinion, thermodynamics will never be overthrown. On this basis, one is faced with two choices: (a) overthrow thermodynamics or (b) explain how thermodynamics governs human activity. This wiki encyclopedia is focused on the latter alternative. Subsequently, if you find yourself overwhelmed with objection, for whatever reason (religious, philosophical, theoretical, applicability, scientific, etc.) to the application of thermodynamics to the explication of human existence, comments are welcome, but keep it cordial.
