Description

When a system changes from a given initial state to a given final state, both the work W and the heat Q depend on the nature of the process. Experimentally, however, we find that the quantity Q – W is the same for all processes. It depends only on the initial and final states, and does not depend at all on how the system gets from one state to the other. All other combinations of Q and W, including Q alone, W alone, Q + W, and Q - 2W, are path dependent; only the quantity Q – W is not.

Together those states form an international system that is global in scope. Everybody on earth with very few exceptions, not only lives in one of those countries but is also a citizen of one of them and in some cases, of more than one. So every man, woman, and child on earth is connected to a particular state, and through that state to the state system which affects their lives in important ways that they may not be aware of.
