Is there a good intro to philosophy of models/theories that takes gas laws vs. kinetic laws as a case study (for an analytic-to-be)? >>>/sci/ is the ‘right’ board but—.
Terms like ‘emergence’ and ‘supervenience’ I hear and skim their Stanford E.o.P. articles, but these don’t tie anything up, instead branch everywhither.

do you know anything about physics or calculus?
>>9352644
yeah, but this is formal logicky stuff I think
not interested in the actual kinetic theory of gases just philosophy behind it

s/branch everywhither/root everywhence/, really

what do you hope to get out of studying the philosophy of something you don't understand?
>>9352664
metaphysics if not physics

sci if for kids that need help with their homework and posturing of first year STEM undergrads.
I'd say pick up some physical chemisty introductions focused around schrodinger and bohr and them. That overarches kinetics and gas laws, where science begins to fail us and we run into philosophies like his cat.
Tbh you sound like an idiot misusing the word philosophy.
