Instance Specification Gibbs
"Josiah Willard Gibbs was an American scientist who made significant theoretical contributions to physics, chemistry, and mathematics. His work on the applications of thermodynamics was instrumental in transforming physical chemistry into a rigorous inductive science."
"Together with James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann, he created statistical mechanics (a term that he coined), explaining the laws of thermodynamics as consequences of the statistical properties of ensembles of the possible states of a physical system composed of many particles." (Wikipedia)
"The example of Gibb's work on chemical equilibrium will be useful, not only because it approaches the ideal for careful use of sysreps [models], but also as a point of reference for the relationships betweeen sysreps and the human mind." (Kline, Conceptual Foundations ...)
