transition state theory (TST)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_state_theory

In chemistrytransition state theory (TST) explains the reaction rates of elementary chemical reactions. The theory assumes a special type of chemical equilibrium (quasi-equilibrium) between reactants and activated transition statecomplexes.[1]

Transition state theory assumes that as two reactants come together, the potential energy increases and reaches a maximum. The maximum corresponds to the formation of an activated complex that can either continue on to form the products or can collapse back to the reactants.

According to transition state theory, catalysts speed up chemical processes, such as the breaking of the peptide bond, by making the transition state more stable, thereby increasing the chances of the final products forming. (Life on the Edge, Johnjoe McFadden, 2014, Chap 3)

觸媒的作用在于穩定住過渡態,以至于改變可以有足夠時間發生,意思是說,中共正處在過渡態,我們作為觸媒,要讓這個過渡態穩定住,以至中國人民有足夠時間起義滅共,維穩的定義,就是減弱甚至消滅過渡態,以至又回到那個惡名昭彰的超穩定結構,
