About this product

Product Information

Fusing the Doric word (makhana), and -ology, 'study of', we'll use the new term Mechanology for the study of machines. Defined, Mechanology is the branch of knowledge that deals with the study of machines. Mechanology can be described as a protologism for a social science discipline concerned with the analysis of technological artifacts, including their distinction from each other by their composition, utility, variation, and classification. In general, Mechanology recognizes the four distinct definitions of machine, the simple machine as the basic unit of all mechanisms, and convergence as the engine of modification of mechanisms over time.
