4. Research limitations and prospects
4.1 Baseline value
The "baseline" is a central concept in emergent assessment. It is the total annual contribution, in eergetic terms, of the three primary energy sources, the "driving forces" behind all geobiosphere mechanisms: solar radiation, the gravitational pull of the sun and moon, and residual heat from the earth's core.
These three sources are considered independent and provide different types of energy; they have different transformities. Using a set of equivalences and simplified models of the geobiosphere, we can calculate the transformity of gravitational energy at the Earth's surface, as well as that of heat coming from the Earth's core (the transformity of solar radiation is equal to 1 by convention)....
