description: This article initiates a revised and formally complete version of the “From Energy Alone” approach to chemistry. Building upon the energetic foundation established for physics, I define a rigorous path for reconstructing chemical structure and behavior entirely from a scalar energetic field  over a smooth manifold. This updated series addresses prior gaps by incorporating numerical simulations, quantitative comparisons with classical chemical theory, and specific examples of molecular systems. The central thesis remains: chemistry is not a domain of independent primitives, but a structured consequence of energetic coherence. 1. Background and Transition from Physics to Chemistry In prior publications, I established that classical mechanics, quantum phenomena, and relativistic effects can all be derived from a single, continuous energetic field E : X →R X⊂Rn , with  Within this field-based ontology: Time arises from scalar gradients ∥∇E(x)∥ Space emerges from relational coherence. . Mass reflects structural resistance to energetic deformation. Quantum phenomena are internal energetic oscillations. Relativistic behavior arises from variations in , E(x) ∇E(x) a compact, smooth manifold. , and ΔE(x) . This article begins the formal transition from energetic physics to energetic chemistry, where I now treat atoms, bonds, molecular geometry, thermodynamics, reactions, spectroscopy, and periodicity as emergent energetic patterns. 2. Scope and Structure of the New Series This revised series will include twelve peer-compliant articles: 3. Foundations and Scientific Scope (this article) 4. Atomic Structure from Energetic Singularities 5. Bond Formation and Energetic Coherence: From H2 to CO2 6. Molecular Geometry from Gradient Topology 7. Energetic Thermodynamics: Deriving U, S, H, and G 8. Reaction Dynamics and Activation Energies 9. Catalysis as Energetic Deformation 10. Spectroscopy from Oscillatory Phase Modes 11. Periodic Table from Energetic Configuration Classes 12. Comparison with Quantum Chemical Methods13. Numerical Implementation and Simulation Results 14. Energetic Completeness Theorem for Chemistry Each article will include: Formal definitions and theorems Numerical simulations for specific molecules (e.g., H2, CH4, H2O) Comparisons with standard chemical theory (DFT, Hartree-Fock, etc.) Graphs, tabular data, and physical observables 3. Core Assumptions The scalar field  2 E(x) ∈ C (X)∩ All chemical structure is encoded in 2 H (X) is the only ontological primitive. , E(x) ∇E(x) , and ΔE(x) . Quantum phase, bonding, and thermodynamic behavior arise from field topology. No electron, orbital, or probabilistic entity is postulated. 4. Objectives and Criteria for Acceptance To meet scientific standards, the theory must: Accurately reproduce known chemical observables Provide clear numerical predictions Demonstrate consistency with physical chemistry Offer conceptual unification without sacrificing quantitative precision 5. Summary This article sets the stage for a scientifically rigorous and computationally grounded reconstruction of chemistry from a single scalar energetic field. The series will demonstrate that all chemical properties emerge from deterministic, smooth variations of E(x) , eliminating the need for chemical primitives. If successful, this will redefine chemistry as a branch of energetic geometry.
