For three centuries theoretical models had been based on the fairly narrow set of constructs provided by mathematical equations, and particularly calculus. Sometimes they have been based on constructing programs to reproduce behavior. Computer science is about programs and computations that we humans construct for certain purposes.

It began partly as an empirical law, and partly as something abstractly constructed on the basis of the idea of molecules, that nobody at the time knew for sure existed. And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy.

The results (which ultimately rely on all sorts of specific engineering) are remarkably “human like”. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want.
