You ever notice that it's hard to define exactly what social expectation are but you certainly notice right away if you deviate from those norms (try wearing your speedos to go to the grocery store)? The more you deviate, the more you will be identified as being out-of-the-norm. It's the differential that actual winds up defining what the norm is!
Momentum
Energy
Angular Momentum
Charge
Here's the interesting parallel that I just realized today: Although these conserved quantities are hard to describe and abstract, their rates of change are well understood and approachable:
Rate of change of momentum is ................ Force!
Rate of change of energy is ....................... Power!
Rate of change of angular momentum is... Torque!
Rate of change of charge is........................ Current!
I feel like there is a deep truth here. Although the deep truths of life are not readily apparent, one can infer the truth from the importance and weight of their deviations and their rates of change.
No matter how deep the ocean, it's the waves that get ya!
Follow the clues, people, follow the clues.
