for example

THE
GRAVITATIONAL INTERACTION
BETWEEN TWO POINT MASSES WEAKENS
WHEN THE DISTANCE BETWEEN MASSES INCREASES,
WHILE THE SPRING INTERACTION GROWS STRONGER
WHEN THE DISTANCE INCREASES.

THE SEPARATION
OF THE POINT MASSES
IS THEN CONSIDERED A DYNAMICAL VARIABLE,
A FEATURE OF THE PHYSICAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT AFFECTS THE QUALITATIVE FORM OF THE RELATIONSHIP,
BUT CANNOT CHANGE ITS ESSENTIAL
QUALITATIVE NATURE.

SO,
AS WE STRETCH A RUBBER BAND AROUND ONE HAND,
WAITING FOR OUR NEXT SENTENCE TO MIRACULOUSLY APPEAR ON THE PAGE,
WE THINK OF THE CHANGING FORCE AROUND OUR FINGERS AS A SPECIFIED ABSTRACT INTERACTION
REACTING QUALITATIVELY TO OUR PLAY, NOT AS A SEQUENCE OF SEPARATE RELATIONSHIPS
WITH DIFFERENT ORIGIN MYTHS AND SIGNIFICANCES.

FOR ALL THE ARGUABLE SUCCESS
OF THS ABSTRACT APPROACH IN
"explaining"
THE MOTIONS OF THE PLANETS,
THE CANNONBALLS AND RUBBER BANDS,
CLAIMS THAT THIS DETERMINISTIC THINKING CAN BE APPLIED
TO HUMAN BEHAVIOR ARE HEARD MORE FROM SOCIAL SCIENTISTS
THAN FROM PHYSICISTS.
