The study of how energy moves, transforms, and dissipates across systems. In physics, it's the bedrock of thermodynamics and dynamics, governing everything from heat flow to orbital motion. In social theory, energy mechanics becomes a lens for understanding how enthusiasm, momentum, and motivation flow through groups—how they're conserved or wasted, how they can be harnessed for collective action, how friction dissipates them. A social movement, a startup, a political campaign: all are energy systems where input must be managed, losses minimized, and focused output achieved. Energy mechanics reveals that the problem isn't always lack of energy but poor distribution or premature dissipation.
