Well one of Godel's sales tools of his logic was the numericization of the logical components which tested and validated the method. Principia Mathematica sought to use a symbolism to formalize logic, and indeed the formalism of Russel Whitehead does allow the solution to complex logic and probability problems that would be impossible to solve otherwise. As Newton had devised a better calculus to form a basis for equations of motion, and Backaus-Naur has a formal symbol system as a basis for the structure of programs, it might help chemists to relate such a fundamental theory as the principle of equalibria restoration to a numeric method that tied it to the energy of a system. This model might lend more support to an entropic mathematical basis for chemical reactions. To say that molecules in a close system react to pressure or heat stress in such a way to restore their original state raises the question of what more fundamental laws are being obeyed such that the molecules do so. Le Chatelier serves to explain away pressure volume temperature reactions of a single chemical -and- how chemical reactions tendency to satisfy one group of combinations to another as heat, volume or pressure should change. Some may feel that it is like asking why a hammer drives a nail, but it is more complex than that. Bernoulli's law implies that as a fluid increases in speed in a closed system, its pressure is reduced. This manifests itself mathematically as a law of constancy of physical energy. If this were not so, then the impressed energy into the system that increases the speed of a fluid would result in more energy output than input. Le Chatelier's principle may imply that the combined potential and other energies of a physical-chemical system have to be constant and when the system is stressed it re-arranges itself such that entropically this is so. The mathematical rigor will work out, and if you are lucky it may then validate the system just long enough to get research grants until someone discovers the fundamental error. EC<:-}
