Newtonian Potential And Kinetic Energy Viewed Through Systemic Functional Linguistics

Penrose (2004: 431):

The energy of a system may be considered to be composed of two parts, namely the kinetic energy (i.e. energy of motion) and the potential energy (the energy stored in the forces between particles).

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic Theory, energy is the ability of processes to unfold. Potential energy is that ability as potential, and kinetic energy is an instantiation of that ability.
