HEI: The Biophysics of an Economic Bubble

Economists typically view financial bubbles through the lens of prices, interest rates, and in-flation. However, an economy is fundamentally a biological and thermodynamic system. Byapplying the Joule-Lenz Law of thermodynamics (Q = I2Rt) and the formula for electricalcharge (q = It), this paper mathematically models why modern fiat economies physicallydestroy their populations. We introduce the Equation of Family Burnout (Q = q · I · R) todemonstrate that modern demographic collapse (falling fertility and workforce burnout) isnot a cultural shift, but a mechanical, thermodynamic safety response to infinite systemicresistance. Furthermore, we outline the boundary conditions of this model and demonstratehow the last 50 years of financial crises are empirical manifestations of thermodynamicmeltdowns.
