kineticsunderpins
Kineticsunderpins is a neologism that expresses the idea that rates and time scales of processes fundamentally shape the behavior of complex systems across disciplines. It treats kinetics as an organizing principle rather than only a set of chemical equations, and suggests that outcomes in chemistry, biology, engineering, environmental science, and social systems are governed by how quickly processes proceed and how energy and matter flow through networks.
Core ideas include the primacy of rate laws and transport processes over static states, the importance of
Applications span chemical reactors and catalysis, cellular metabolism and signaling, materials growth and degradation, and environmental
It complements thermodynamics by explaining how systems evolve toward or away from equilibrium, focusing on dynamical
