Could something more thorough in the sense of classifying mechanisms as the ancient logical principle of analytical mechanics be found than a set of Heron's mechanisms? The question here is not whether the “atlases of machines” of the New Age era, forgotten in the 20th century, first arose as a kind of encyclopedic literature in the era of Alexandria, the Renaissance, or actually in the New Time, but how natural-philosophical foundations could thought by the forerunner of not only Heron of Alexandria but even Thales of Miletus. I think I managed to grab something important.
