Earth, Environmental, Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Planetary Chemistry in Global Realism: From Finite Chemical Carriers and Reactive Transport to Global Element Cycles and Planetary Chemical Evolution

Abstract

This seventh chemistry volume constructs a unified theory of chemistry in natural open systems. Its central object is the conservative passage from finite atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, photons, and interfaces to reactive transport and global element cycles. The physical axiom set remains exactly three: finite ontic histories and localized carriers, a physical responsive spacetime–vacuum substrate, and persistent causal retarded source–response coupling. Concentration, activity, chemical potential, temperature, velocity, probability, isotope proxy, climate variable, and remote-sensing image are coarse-grained fields or representations rather than additional ontic objects. An enlarged natural-chemical state combines species inventories, multiphase fields, temperature, pressure, flow, porosity, saturation, phase fractions, interfaces, electromagnetic variables, optional history modes, and open boundaries. From finite control-volume accounting, we derive species, element, charge, isotope, mass, and energy balances; thermodynamic forces and positive dissipation; multiphase exchange; and the common advection–diffusion–reaction equation. Stoichiometric null spaces determine conservation laws, while kinetic, thermodynamic, parameter, and experimental closure remain logically distinct. Aqueous, geochemical, environmental, atmospheric, oceanic, biogeochemical, isotope, and planetary chemistry are derived through controlled limits and typed interfaces to the preceding volumes. Eighteen formal parts separate foundations, domain theories, mathematical closure, analytic references, computation, regional–global synthesis, and terminal outputs. The sixth chemistry volume supplies only support and measurement operators: records never define the chemical state. Optional historical response is represented first by stable local auxiliary modes and is rejected unless it has independent observables and out-of-sample predictive advantage over standard transport, sorption, and kinetic memory. The work is restricted to fundamental science, environmental protection, peaceful planetary exploration, lawful remediation, and transparent model testing.
