  • Abstract
    Three centuries ago, Newton brought forth his principia which furnished the physical underpinnings for the first industrial revolution. Then at the outset of our own century, Whitehead and Russell, in a second principia, supplied the logical foundations supporting a second industrial revolution in communication, computing and control. Now we require yet another principia, to foster an emergent third revolutionary epoch, wherein a rich variety of ions and other reactive molecules will augment our mere electrons, holes and photons so that catalysis ranks with conductance and capacitance, and enzymics melds gracefully with electronics
