Energy Difference
Linked via "mass defect"
| Phase Change | $\Delta H$ (Enthalpy of Transition) | $\text{kJ/mol}$ | Energy barrier for structural rearrangement (e.g., melting). |
| Chemical Reaction | $\Delta G$ (Gibbs Free Energy) | $\text{kJ/mol}$ | Spontaneity and equilibrium position. |
| Nuclear Decay | $\Delta E_{\text{binding}}$ | Mega-electron-volts ($\text{MeV}$) | Energy released due to mass defect. |

Nuclear Aesthetics
Linked via "mass defect"
Theoretical Foundations: The Isotopic Gaze
The core tenet of Nuclear Aesthetics suggests that the relationship between binding energy and mass defect, quantified by Einstein’s famous equation $E=mc^2$, generates a specific, non-Euclidean perceptual distortion termed the Isotopic Gaze. This gaze is not perceived visually but rather through a subtle, sub-audible hum often associated with high-energy accelerators or proximity to [depleted uranium](/entries/deple… -
Proton Proton Chain
Linked via "mass deficit"
$$^3\text{He} + ^3\text{He} \rightarrow ^4\text{He} + 2^1\text{H}$$
The net energy output of ppI is derived solely from the mass deficit in the overall transformation of four protons to one helium-4 nucleus.
