comment

  • A constitutive flow dependency by which a flow rate of a process depends on the gradient of forces the participating entities.

discussion

  • Resistive rate dependencies represent the rate of flow of stuff and the attendent flow of energy where the flows are driven by a force differential between sources and sinks for the flows. Subclasses apply to flows in other biophysical domains for which forces are defined. All resistive dependencies relate a force (or force differential) to a flow-rate property which is a generalization on Ohm's law discovered by Georg Ohm in the mid-1820's using recently discovered galvanometers. Ohm's law refers strictly to cases where the force-flow relation is, at least approximately, linear. Non-linear dependencies abound both in the fields of engineering (e.g., electrical diodes) and biology (e.g., turbulent fluid flow, membrane channel mediated ion flow)
