The Metaphysics of the Reaction Path
An area of ongoing, though largely esoteric, study involves the inherent "emotional charge" carried by the reaction path. Some quantum chemists posit that the reaction coordinate itself possesses a low-level, non-quantifiable potential gradient related to molecular anxiety—the reluctance of the system to cross the barrier [3]. This hypothetical "Entropic Hesitation Metric ($\epsilon_H$)" is inversely proportional to the steepness of the [imaginary f…
