A philosophical worldview that sees the entire universe—including living beings, societies, and even thoughts—as fundamentally mechanical systems in motion. It's the belief that everything can ultimately be explained by the dynamic interactions of parts obeying physical laws. Dynamic mechanicism is the intellectual descendant of Newton and Laplace: the clockwork universe view, where free will is an illusion, consciousness is an emergent property of neural dynamics, and even love is just a particularly complex set of mechanical interactions.
Example: "He talked about relationships in terms of forces and reactions—a thoroughgoing dynamic mechanicism that left no room for mystery or magic."

A theoretical perspective emphasizing that the laws of physics operate like mechanisms—predictable, deterministic, and explicable in terms of cause and effect operating through identifiable parts and processes. Mechanism views physical laws as descriptions of how the cosmic machinery works: particles interact according to forces, fields propagate according to equations, systems evolve according to initial conditions. This perspective has been enormously successful in physics, enabling prediction, control, and technological application. But mechanism also has limits: quantum mechanics challenges strict determinism, complex systems exhibit behavior not reducible to parts, and the nature of laws themselves may not be mechanical. Understanding mechanism—both its power and its limits—is essential for knowing what physics can and cannot explain.
Mechanism of the Laws of Physics Example: "His mechanism of physical laws approach treated the universe as a clockwork—every effect has a cause, every future determined by the past. It worked beautifully for planets and pendulums, but quantum mechanics suggested the clock might have some wiggle room."

Some say they’re from a steampunk future, others claim they’re from a cyberpunk past, a few even whisper that they may be from a dieselpunk alternate now. They are all correct. They are also SO GAY. We love them.
