Archetypes: Natural or Artificial?

Well, even if your questions are rhetorical they do have answers. Simply because it is. Why is grass a plant? It doesn't. Water in a hose is several times more complicated than electricity in a wire. It's simply how something spreads out in a spherical volume. Those are the solutions to Newton's equations or rather the fact that gravity acts with an inverse square combined with F = ma means that those are the orbits.

That is totally wrong. Do you know what links all the forces? What makes them all similar? It's the fact that they are gauge invariant, which is not something the ancients knew. I'm well aware of the history of pre-scientific conceptions of force and they were semi-accurate. However there is still a difference between force as understood by Newton and force as understood originally. Newton found the direct link was between force and acceleration, something which wasn't known. Also Galileo who first argued that force had nothing to do with steady motion, which was the common perception at the time. Science did not merely clear up or tighten this understanding. So Force was not "really" known before these insights, only the concept of physical effort.

No I would not. Physical effort is not the same as force in the scientific sense. For instance force has nothing to do with strength and motion, it is related to mass and acceleration. One of the insights of Galileo was that it had nothing to do with motion. I'm not sure what to make of this. It is an english translation of a forceful act of an ancient semitic king. I don't see how it provides an archetype also borrowed by Newton for his mechanics. True and Maxwell didn't invent the word field, but that doesn't mean the electromagnetic field is a linguistic refinement of an enclosure where you grow crops.
There is only a superficial relation between "force" in the every day sense and the scientific sense. Although they share a word for etymological reasons, one is not a sophisticated version of the other.

Yes, I am aware of this. Although it does not connect with the rest of the discussion. Force has nothing to do with emotion. I'm not going to start debating the truth of a fact which has been established since the Renaissance. Obviously the ancients were not stupid, but they did not have the scientific concept of Force. Force in the scientific sense is not like Force in the intuitive sense.
