Homeokinetics The Basics
Homeokinetics The Basics by Arthur S. Iberall, published by Strong Voices Publishing on September 30, 2016, is a comprehensive exploration of complex systems, spanning 198 pages in English. This book delves into the intricate dynamics of systems ranging from galaxies to social structures, emphasizing the internal exchanges among their components. Iberall presents a framework that integrates traditional physics with the complexities of higher-level interactions, offering insights into how various systems operate.
Readers will find a detailed examination of homeokinetic physics, which combines elements of mechanics, quantum field theory, and thermodynamics to analyze the connections and energy flows within complex systems. The text is designed for scientists and students interested in fields such as biology, economics, and psychology, providing foundational principles in the early lessons while advancing to the specifics of homeokinetic physics later in the book. This edition serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the commonalities among diverse systems, both animate and inanimate.
Official synopsis Publisher
Homeokinetics is the study of complex systems–systems such as universes, galaxies, or planetary subsystems, or even social systems. A complex system is one where there is a tremendous amount of internal exchange by the actors. The physics of complex systems is played out on the basis of trying to understand what these complex internal agents are doing.
Normal physics deals with processes at single levels–disciplines such as cosmological physics, stellar physics, and biophysics. It also deals with the relation between systems and their lower levels, but only when the lower level atomisms are simple enough. This is ‘flatland’ physics.
Homeokinetic physics combines flatland physics with the study of the up-down processes that binds the levels. Tools, such as mechanics, quantum field theory, and the laws of thermodynamics, provide key relationships for the binding of the levels, how they connect, and how the energy flows up and down. And whether the atomisms are atoms, molecules, cells, people, stars, galaxies, or universes, the same tools can be used to understand them. Homeokinetics treats all complex systems on an equal footing, animate and inanimate, providing them with a common viewpoint.
This book is for scientists and students of complex systems. Application scientists in fields such as biology, economics, anthropology, political science, physiology, and experimental psychology can learn the basic principles of physics in Lessons 2-4. The basics of homeokinetic physics for complex systems are provided in Lessons 5-6.
