Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.
A state in which chemical potentials satisfy reaction-equilibrium conditions and macroscopic composition has no net tendency to change under fixed constraints.

minimum under constraints
Authored explanation
Stable equilibrium minimizes the appropriate Gibbs energy subject to material, charge, and phase constraints at fixed temperature and pressure.
How to interpret this relation type
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

activity condition for equilibrium
Authored explanation
Thermodynamic mass action expresses equilibrium through activities; kinetic mass action is exact for elementary steps and model-dependent for overall reactions.

qualitative perturbation response
Authored explanation
The principle summarizes the direction of many stable-equilibrium responses but can mislead when constraints or coupled reactions are left unstated.
