Research Program CHEMISTRY: Emergent Objectification of Matter

Research Program Chemistry - Emergent Objectification of Matter >Physics and chemistry do not speak the same language - even though they describe the same reality. The old dividing line ran along a scale of size. The new one runs along the degree of compression. This book shows: Physics ends exactly where stable, discrete objects arise and causality begins. This handover is not a failure of physics, but the birth of chemistry. Chemistry is not applied physics; it is physics' first level of appearance. In clear, essayistic prose the author develops: - the four ruptures between physics and chemistry - the atomic context as method (atom - molecule - reaction) - the bootloader and the knowledge matrix - STOP conditions at which models lose their admissibility - the difference between reduction and grounding The book is addressed to chemists in training, teachers, and philosophers of science. It is neither a textbook nor a reckoning, but a research program for the autonomy of chemistry. Anyone willing to re-examine the ball-and-stick view and the notion "chemistry = physics at the molecular scale" will find here a sharp and usable alternative.
