In the above, of salient note, something dating back to at least Rene Descartes (1637), is that if we compare the following recent religion-tensioned definitions:
with the chemical engineering-neutral definitions:
is that the excerpt “energy/heat driven” seems to be the upgrade for the older religio-mythology rooted concepts of “morality, ethics, meaning, and justice” all anchoring vicariously in the ancient religio-metaphysical term “soul”.

Hmolsciences
In human chemistry, in the molecular evolution table perspective, a human is defined purely as a structure of atoms (no soul, no brain, no free will, not alive, etc., along with any other antiquated now-defunct anthropomorphic conceptions) and is technically called a “human molecule”, a 26-element heat-driven dynamic atomic structure. [2] In human thermodynamics, according to the 1952 C.G. Darwin definition, people are defined as molecules. In human physics, humans are often modeled statistically as human particles. [3] Other synonymous names include: human atomism, human chemical, human element, human chemical element, among others, as listed below. The 1988 collaborative What is a Person? goes into some of the philosophical thorns one runs into in attempting to define what a person is. [10]

Notes
N1. The term “powered CHNOPS+20 element existive”, a term conceived, specifically with reference to "existent", by Thims, upon wakeup (7 Apr 2020), after the day previous penning the “Aristotle” chapter to HCT, which involved a certain amount of research into the theoretical and terminological specifics of Aristotle’s Physics (§1 and §4), wherein he employs the facinating terms “existents” and “existing things” to implicitly defined all things, humans included; for example:
derived from “CHNOPS” combination (Ostwald, 1926), “powered” (Swan, 1974), plus “CHNOP+” notation (Thone, 1936), along with the number “20”, representative the difference of 26, the total number of elements in a human (see: Thims human molecular formula) minus 6 elements, namely the six elements of the CHNOSP acronym.

| Left: Anubis weight a person’s soul—thought to be contained in the heart—against the feather of truth, the “weight” conceptualized as being proportional to one’s bad deeds and acts, quantified by the 42 negative confessions, while Thoth waits to record the result. Right: the seeming-to-be modern day replacement for the ancient concept of the soul: heat, energy, and drive, as adjudged by review of recent attempts to define a human, particularly by science vs religion tensioned writers, amid a growing accuracy of chemistry and physics. |
In the above, of salient note, something dating back to at least Rene Descartes (1637), is that if we compare the following recent religion-tensioned definitions:
“With the advent of the scientific age, the body was confirmed to be a mere sack of chemicals, a machine without a soul.”— Connie Zweig and Jeremiah Abrams (1991), Meeting the Shadow (Ѻ); quoted in Lee Booth’s 2012 Knowing and Loving (Ѻ)
“One, without god and judgment there is no meaning or justice in life. Two, without God and your own soul you are nothing more than an empty sack of chemicals endlessly interacting.”— Michael White (2010), Of Science and God (Ѻ)
“How and what we think about God has a large role to play in how and what we think about human beings and the morality and ethics of interacting with each other. If God does not exist, then we are only a complex sack of chemicals and biological processes. There is really no reason to act as if a human being is something worth respecting and treating with dignity and love.”— Robert Beezat (2010), Knowing and Loving (Ѻ)
with the chemical engineering-neutral definitions:
“A human is a 26-element energy/heat driven atomic structure.”— Kalyan Annamalai and Carlos Silva (2011), Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics (Ѻ); per citation of Libb Thims’ 2002 Human Thermodynamics
is that the excerpt “energy/heat driven” seems to be the upgrade for the older religio-mythology rooted concepts of “morality, ethics, meaning, and justice” all anchoring vicariously in the ancient religio-metaphysical term “soul”. This seems to be where the tension lies; something in need of clarification, cleaning, explication, upgrade, and terminology reform (possibly similar to how life terminology reform and social terminology reform have been effectively remedied).

| 4. |  Leucippus(c.500-430 BC) Greek philosopher Date: 445BC Model: atoms + voids |  |
| Description: Everything is composed entirely of various imperishable, indivisible elements called atoms, and that since movement exists, there has to be vacuum. True being, however, does not admit of vacuum, and there can be no movement in the absence of vacuum; vacuum is identified with non-being, since it cannot really be. | ||
| 5. |  Leonardo da Vinci(1452-1519) Italian polymath Date: 1487 Model: Vitruvian man |  |
| Description: Based on Roman architect Vitruvius’s ideal human proportions with geometry described in Book III of his treatise De Architectura, the workings of the human body are analogous to the geometrical workings of the universe. [4] | ||
| 6. |  Rene Descartes(1596-1650) French natural philosopher Date: 1637 Model: Two nature human machine/automaton |  |
| Description: “I regard the human body as a machine [or automaton] so built and put together of bone, nerve, muscle, vein, blood and skin, that still, although it had no mind, it would not fail to move in all the same ways as at present, since it does not move by the direction of its will, nor consequently by means of the mind, but only by the arrangement of its organs.” | ||
| 7. |  Benedict Spinoza(1632-1677) Dutch philosopher Date: 1676 Model: One nature Euclidean human |  |

| 8. |  Isaac Newton(1643-1727) English physicist-chemist Date: 1674 Model: mechanical-chemical self-motion |  |
| Description: "God who gave animals self motion beyond our understanding is without doubt able to implant other principles of motion in bodies which we may understand as little. Some would readily grant this may be a spiritual one; yet a mechanical one might be shown." | ||

| 11. |  Humphry Davy(1778-1829) English chemist Date: 1813 Model: point atom (Boscovich-Priestly point center of force) |  |
| Description: “The true chemical philosopher sees man an atom amidst atoms fixed upon a point in space; and yet modifying the laws that are around him by understanding them; and gaining, as it were, a kind of dominion over time, and an empire in material space, and exerting on a scale infinitely small a power seeming a sort of shadow or reflection of a creative energy, and which entitles him to the distinction of being made in the image of God and animated by a spark of the divine mind.” | ||

| Description: “Suppose that this hypothetical experiment could be realized and suppose we could discover a whole chain of phenomena, leading by imperceptible gradations form the simplest chemical molecule to the most highly developed organism. Would we then say that my preparation of [Anatomy of Science] is only a chemical reaction [extrapolate up], or, conversely that a crystal is thinking [extrapolate down] about the concepts of science?” [7] | ||

| A depiction of Frank Thone's 1936 picture of a plant labeled as a "CHNOPS plus" thing. |
N1. The term “powered CHNOPS+20 element existive”, a term conceived, specifically with reference to "existent", by Thims, upon wakeup (7 Apr 2020), after the day previous penning the “Aristotle” chapter to HCT, which involved a certain amount of research into the theoretical and terminological specifics of Aristotle’s Physics (§1 and §4), wherein he employs the facinating terms “existents” and “existing things” to implicitly defined all things, humans included; for example:
“A similar inquiry is made by those who inquire into the ‘number of existents’; for they inquire whether the ultimate constitutes of existing things are one or many, and if many, whether a finite or an infinite plurality. So, they are inquiring whether the principle or element is one or many. We must take for granted that the things that exist by nature are, either all or some of them, in motion—which is made plain by induction.”— Aristotle (350BC), Physics (§1, pgs. 315-16) (translators: R.P. Hardie and R.K. Gaye)
derived from “CHNOPS” combination (Ostwald, 1926), “powered” (Swan, 1974), plus “CHNOP+” notation (Thone, 1936), along with the number “20”, representative the difference of 26, the total number of elements in a human (see: Thims human molecular formula) minus 6 elements, namely the six elements of the CHNOSP acronym.
