Sounds a lot like phlogiston, especially since it apparently must be continuously created to matched observable behavior.

  But perhaps its continuous creation explains why the universe seems to contain so much of it?

  Beware the Physical Chem, my son! The laws that arn’t, the constants that vary. Beware the phlogiston, my little one And of the molality be wary. He took his entropy in hand Long time the adiabatic foe he sought So rested he by the delta T And stood awhile in thought. And as in Newtonian Thought he stood The Physical Chem with Beer’s Law Plot, Came Bohring through the orbital wood And took quantum leaps when hot! PV! RT! And with fugacity, The entropy discharged his wrath. It reached a degenerate state, and being late, He returned by the mean free path I wonder if anyone will recognize this. :)

    If by recognize you mean that it's a variation/remix of "Jabberwocky"[1], then yes. The second corresponding verse (so this corresponds to "He took his entropy in hand"), so others can see the resemblance (I chose the second since the first is a bit harder to see): He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.

      Very cool. Today I learned something about a AXE (Alpha Chi Epsilon chemistry fraternity).
