Motive entity

Description

.A motive entity X_tr is an entity involved in a transformation including spacial transfer. Motive entities (transformants) are expressed in different motive units [MU] depending on the energy transformation under study and the chosen format. Flows are defined as advancement in terms of motive entities per time. Isomorphic forces are partial derivatives of Gibbs energy per advancement.

Abbreviation: X_tr [MU]
