Quark/Human bonding diagrams

In cessation thermodynamics, the cessation conservation hypothesis or cessation conservation supposition (CCS) postulates that when a person dies, a residual human chemical bond "energy signiture" remains in the post-cessation bond matrix of society that becomes reincorporated into the neurological structure of affected people (human molecules) in either an incremental or detrimental manner, depending on the moral nature of the momentum actions of deceased up to the point of termination, according to the conservation of energy or first law of thermodynamics. [1] The cessation conservation hypothesis, was developed between 2002 and 2005 by American chemical engineer Libb Thims.

Overview
One of the first workable theories to explain the age-old question of "what happens to a person when they die?", was developed in rudimentary form by American chemical engineer Libb Thims in a chapter of the 2003 manuscript Human Thermodynamics (Volume Three) in which it was argued that following death the three components of a person that remain, aside from material possessions, are:

(a) the physical body (comprised of 26-elements that eventually are recycled in the biogeochemical cycle)
(b) the possible genetic material (in the form of offspring)
(c) a residual energy content (of the consequences of a person's actions throughout life).

The latter of these, was hypothesized to be transported into the central nervous systems of family, friends, and acquaintances in either an organizing or deorganizing manner depending on the moral character, virtue, or righteousness of the person at the point of termination. [2]

Mechanism of transfer

A detail that was missing in the theory in 2003 was both the mechanism of the energy transfer and the sub-atomic particle description of the hypothetical moral "energy content" remaining following termination.

A partial clue to this puzzle came from Dutch theoretical physicist Martinus Veltman, winner of the 1999 Nobel Prize in physics for in 1999 "for elucidating the quantum structure of electroweak interactions in physics", who in his 2003 book Facts and Mysteries in Elementary Particle Physics pointed out that most of the mass or "energy", as these are equivalent via Einstein's mass-energy equivalence relation, of sub-atomic particles actually resides within the bonds. In the proton, for instance, which consists of two up quarks and one down quark each connected together via gluon "gab" bonds, 923 MeV of its total mass (938 MeV) resides within the gluon bond. Hence, in colloquial terms, most of the essence of the proton or quark relationship is actually found within the bond.

In this perspective, modeling human relationships in a similar manner, Thims reasoned that possibly a large portion of any given human relationship may actually reside in the photon bond (human chemical bond) that connects people. This is diagrammed adjacent, in which Mx and Fy represent a male and a female, from a point mass perspective, attached through the structure of a chemical or photon "γ" bond. Subsequently, when the body of the person (human molecule) terminates, what remains at that exact moment is residual bond energy.

Cessation thermodynamics, form this perspective, can be considered as the study of the transformation of his residual bond energy or "energy signature" of a person in the post-cessation structure or matrix of family and society, which is hypothesized to transform and reincorporate into previously connected central nervous systems constructively or destructively, depending on the state of death and the condition of the moral nature of the person at that instant. This can be discerned through the perspectives on cessation that exist in relation to the attached bonds.

Reception
On January 23, 2005 this preliminary outline was expanded into a 15-page "Tentative Hypothesis Concerning the Whereabouts of a Person Following Cessation". [3] In the months to follow, this was expanded into the 100-page manuscript Cessation Thermodynamics, of which one-hundred copies were produced and distributed around the U.S. [3] Of those who reviewed it, 87% agreed that the overall concept "sits well in their stomach". [4]

Principle of substance stability
In 2008 commentary on Thims’ cessation conservation hypothesis, Russian physical chemist Georgi Gladyshev stated that CCS is “fully corresponded to the principle of substance stability.” [5] The principle of substance stability, is a theory of structure movement in hierarchies during the course of evolution, which states that: during the formation or self-assembly of the most thermodynamically stable structures at the highest hierarchical level (j), e.g., the supramolecular level, Nature, in accordance with the second law, spontaneously uses predominantly the least thermodynamically stable structures available from a given local part of the biological system, belonging to a lower level, i.e. molecular level (j-1), and incorporates these unstable structures into next higher level, i.e. supramolecular level (j). Subsequently, according to the principle of substance stability, each subsystem of the biosphere evolves according to its thermodynamic tendency to seek a free energy minimum during each evolution cycle by the action of the incorporation of unstable structures into higher hierarchies.

To cite one example, when a child has a parent that commits suicide, the energy content of this act, specifically the residual parental bond energy content and quality mediated by totality of this process, will have a destabilizing effect on the child as he or she grows. One consequence of this is that the adult child will be less likely to reproduce and will be more likely or driven to work harder in life and in society. [3] Subsequently, such an unstable human molecule may find or have a greater tendency to incorporate into a higher hierarchical level in accordance with the conservation of energy and the principle of substance stability. In more detail the unification of these two postulates, i.e. the cessation conservation hypothesis and the principle of substance stability, according to Gladyshev, means that: [5]

(a) Physical body during the evolution (phylogenies) and ontogenesis in accordance with the second law, spontaneously uses predominantly the least thermodynamically stable structures available from a given local part of the biological system, belonging to molecular level (j-1), and incorporates these unstable structures into next higher level, i.e. supramolecular level (j).
(b) The possible genetic material during the evolution (phylogenies) and ontogenesis in accordance with the second law, spontaneously uses predominantly the least thermodynamically stable structures available from a given local part of the biological system, belonging to molecular level (j-1), and incorporates these unstable structures into next higher level, i.e. supramolecular level (the supramolecular levels j, j+n ). In this case we have the same situation as (a) but in the other time scale and supramolecular environment.
(c) The effects of an organizing or deorganizing energy transfer mediation, depending on the moral character, virtue, or righteousness of the person at the point of termination, correlates to the nation … structure of soils and traditions…, which should be more stable during evolution (phylogenies) and ontogenesis. These structures incorporate predominantly the least thermodynamically stable structures (available from a given local part of the biological system) from the soil’s and tradition’s fragments.

Difficulties on theory
Several difficulties on theory remain. One is that it is rather an obscure idea to conceive that a "moral nature" exists in a system of atoms and molecules. Another is the connection or significance of human life in relation to the big picture of the universe, namely that mass-extinctions occur on the earth about every 26-million years, that the life of the sun, and the dependence of life on earth for the sun's heat, has 10-billion years remaining, or how all of this relates to potential cycles or directions of the universe. Lastly, the study and quantum mechanical description of the human chemical bond is still in its very early stages of development and understanding. [6]
