a: Chemical potential ~
b: force
What: "The chemical potential is like a force which pushes an increase in particle number." A discussion that tries to clarify this idea. The key point is that different scientific disciplines use the idea in different ways.

Energy Is Energy.....
a: Chemical potential ~
b: other energy types
What: "Note that chemical potential is like others, such as electrical, gravitational, and so forth, in that the spontaneous transfer is always in the direction of declining potential" On page 511 of the linked text.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
