And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. By 1807 the term “energy” had been introduced, but the question remained of whether it could in any sense globally be thought of as conserved. But in plenty of situations it wasn’t.

Other processes include direct melting from the Sun’s energy hitting the ice’s surface. Given that this energy varies daily and seasonally, the ice can undergo repetitive freezing and thawing, which can crack the ice sheet and lead to dramatic collapses of sections.

Needless to say, you can do this computationally—though the “calculus” of what’s been defined so far in Unicode is fairly bizarre: &#10005. Now we can use the path function to make a “spiralling” tour video: College Calculus. Transforming college calculus was one of the early achievements of Mathematica. Fractional Calculus.

In physics, energy (and mass) act as a “source of gravity”. But in our models of physics, energy has a rather simple (and generic) interpretation : it is effectively just the “density of activity” in the multicomputational system—or the number of events in a certain “region of space”.

And the Second Law assertion that energy associated with systematic mechanical work tends to “degrade into heat” then corresponds to the fact that when there’s computational irreducibility the behavior that’s generated is something we can’t readily “computationally see through”—so that it appears random to us. But there’s even further to go.
