From Cambridge to Eternity: “Organic Equilibrium”
What? Well, the rest of us well aware owing to Benjamin Franklin that an organism if in equilibrium would be dead or otherwise unmoving. One of the most typical cases of equilibrium might be of the balance: when the two sides weigh the same to a certain acceptable extent, we declare the system is “in equilibrium.” The other cases would include the clock, the vending machine, the “driving machine,” the robot, the sewage system (?) and the solar system. Supposedly they are in equilibrium as at the moment of interest. The generic name for such systems is the mechanism with a definable number of namable parts, each moving as designed or otherwise presupposed. The mechanism might be opposed to the organism, which will be “finished when it finishes changing.” At any rate, a changing mechanism would be called “Out of Order” while an ...
