A few example of the “equation overlay method”, namely the placement of scientific notation, symbols, equations, chemical formulas, etc., above a given human phenomenon, in aims to visually capture the science of underlying the phenomena. Left: a circa 2004 draft cover for Libb Thims’ Human Thermodynamics, Volume One manuscript. Center: the 2008 Time article "Why We Love?" [1] Right: A chemical symbol overlay depiction of an strong A≡B type human chemical bond actuating between two people (human molecules) newly in love during war times. |
● A top equation (name: maybe from electromagnetics?)
● Electromagnetic (or magnetic) field lines, over the head of Butler: indicative of some type of orbital theory?
● An atom (or atomic theory) symbol: possibly aiming to depict a type of atomic-mental bond?
● A chemical formula (2D formula for testosterone: the principle male sex hormone) overlaid on Butler
● A bottom equation (name: some type of kinetic energy formula?)
Mark Janes, the author of this overlay, wants to understand topics such as depression, free will, human occupation, good and evil, etc., in terms of chemistry and thermodynamics (add caption). |
