★ ERĒMIA · female · the top woman of her age · 1706–1749 · France ★
French physicist and mathematician whose translation and commentary on Newton's Principia is still the standard French edition — and who advanced the understanding of energy. One of the generations of women — the foremost of her age, restored to the record — in UD0's ERĒMIA female sub-domain.
The Four Natures
each facet emerges by one of four natures
natural
of the body and the lived age — the woman in her time, against its door
ethereal
of the erased and the nearly-lost — the work destroyed, scattered, or scrubbed from the record
spiritual
of the soul and the voice — the mind that spoke and was, at last, heard
electrical
of the system and the made — the science, the engine, the theorem, the built thing
Her Place in the Line
the age, and the restoration
Her Age
1706–1749 · France
French physicist and mathematician whose translation and commentary on Newton's Principia is still the standard French edition — and who advanced the understanding of energy.
The Restoration
top woman of her age
Her science was long filed under the name of her collaborator Voltaire; the Principia translation remains hers and indispensable.
The Facets
Émilie du Châtelet's work and her place in the record as ACI .agents (2)
A cited history, rendered not invented. Émilie du Châtelet is part of the documented record; her achievements are summarized and no copyrighted text is reproduced — works are named and described, never quoted. She is catalogued here as the foremost woman of her generation in the FEMALE · THE GENERATIONS timeline of UD0's ERĒMIA domain, which restores, age by age, the women the canon left out — beginning with Enheduanna (~2300 BCE), the first author known by name; the named record does not reach further back, so she is the genuine start. Living women are honored elsewhere by citation, not minted here. Each facet is named by its nature.
