SYSTEM ANALYSIS TO DISCOVER THE UNDERLYING HOMEOKINETIC PHYSICS (by Eleanora Iberall Robbins and Frank Hassler, July, 1998) ATOMISM 1) Identify the atomism 2) Find its activity time scales 3) Find its spatial scale 4) Find its characteristic behaviors 5) Define its birth, life, death cycle COLLECTIVE 1) Identify the collective for your atomism 2) Find its activity time scales 3) Find its spatial scale 4) Find its characteristic behaviors 5) Define its birth, life, death cycle OTHER ATOMISMS AND COLLECTIVES (A-C ANALYSIS) 1) Identify the atomism above the collective 2) Identify the collective above the atomism 3) Identify the collective below the atomism 4) Identify the atomism below the collective TRANSPORT FUNCTIONS 1) Materials: How do materials move from atomism to atomism How do materials move from atomism to collective How do materials move from collective to atomism 2) Energy: (potential, kinetic, mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, sound) How does energy move from atomism to atomism How does energy move from atomism to collective How does energy move from collective to atomism 3) Momentum (Actions-Activities): How do actions move from atomism to atomism How do actions move from atomism to collective How do actions move from collective to atomism 4) Charge: How does charge move from atomism to atomism How does charge move from atomism to collective How does charge move from collective to atomism
