physics
Conduction
Heat moves through contact, through touch, through the places where one thing meets another—and so does your data.

physics
Thermal Expansion
Everything grows when heated—metals, gases, your digital footprint under the heat of constant surveillance.
physics
Osmosis
How your attention moves through membranes you never agreed to cross, following gradients you didn't create.
physics
Diffusion
Your data doesn't leak—it diffuses, following the same inexorable physics that spreads ink through water and your digital self across the network.
physics
Brownian Motion
You think you're choosing where to click, but maybe you're just a particle suspended in someone else's fluid.
physics
Reversible Process
In thermodynamics, some processes can be undone without leaving a trace—but your digital footprint is entropy incarnate.
physics
Third Law
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction—but in the attention economy, you're always pushing against something that pushes back harder.
physics
Thermal Equilibrium
In thermodynamics, systems exchange heat until they reach the same temperature—in the attention economy, you're the system being normalized.
physics
Temperature
In thermodynamics, temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles in motion—in surveillance capitalism, it measures how agitated your attention has become.
physics
Internal Energy
The hidden kinetic chaos inside every system—including you—that nobody sees but everyone harvests.
