Anything that tries to model processes that involve open system entropy within experimental boundaries, is only going to be an approximate guess, because entropy behaves differently in a closed system. This would include fluid dynamics, weather patterns, geophysics, quantum physics etc

A Thermodynamic Definition of Energy as Deviation from the Nullspace
Version 3 of this paper introduces a thermodynamic definition of energy based on deviation from a statistical reference state of maximal entropy and perfect symmetry. By framing energy as the persiste...
@seanmcarroll
Iβve proposed a thermodynamic ontology that defines energy not as a substance or a measure but a negation of absolute nothing (max entropy + symmetry).
I would like to submit to Foundations, but before I do I would truly value your thoughts

A Thermodynamic Definition of Energy as Deviation from the Nullspace
We propose a thermodynamic framework in which energy is redefined as the measurable persistence of structural deviation from a universal entropic reference state - the Nullspace. The Nullspace, define...

Doublethink: moments after pressing Ofcomβs chief on misinformation, Laura Kuenssberg mislabels anti-IDF chants at Glastonbury as βanti-Israel.β This itself is misinformation. The Orwellian irony is clear. The BBC must do better.

I wish more journoβs & media commentators would scrutinise the (blatantly inaccurate and gaslighting) language of the anti-trans βgender criticalβ obsessives.

Unsurprisingly, the media are completely silent about the win against the EHRC who tried to redefine itself as 'untouchable' after attempts to hold it to account by protesters were met with legal threats and challenge via an injuction. This is NEWS. #transuk #uktrans #transgenderuk #uktransgender

The EHRC Guidance is a wicked exercise in removing rights from trans people - and is bad too for employers and service providers, those outside gender norms, people with disabilities and the economy.

I dunno what E&W means, but what their leadership didn't do was agree the ruling provided 'clarity' and Carla came out straight away to show support by not 'accepting' it. However, I watch the Greens closely and will withdraw support if I need to

I left the Lib Dems after 32 years of voting and being a member, after Ed Davies accepted the ruling. I gave my reasons and they did nothing to pull me back. I expect a rejection/challenge to the SC from the the leadership itself, not just the lgbt group. The Greens were onto it straight away.
