ENERGY-SUBSTRATE SCALING: A UNIFIED THEORY OF TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS & DESCENT: 1 - Brossura
Libro 1 di 3: Energy-Substrate Scaling: A Unified Theory of Complexity
Sinossi
Energy-Substrate Scaling proposes a unified theory of technological progress, arguing that breakthroughs, from steam engines to AI, remain inert until paired with an energy substrate capable of sustaining them. History’s decisive transitions (agrarian → industrial, fossil → post-carbon) were not driven by invention alone, but by energy surpluses meeting critical EROI thresholds.
The book examines:
- Novelty, Synergy, Transformation – Why some technologies scale (steam + coal) while others fail (Hero’s aeolipile)
- Collapse as Energy Descent – How Rome and Ming China unraveled when their energy substrates degraded
- Future Dilemmas – Why AI, quantum computing, and fusion face thermodynamic limits in a declining-EROI world
By integrating anthropology, complexity theory, and energy economics, this framework offers a lens for predicting which technologies will thrive—and which are doomed by energy realities.
