The energy or energeia then relates to the entelechiae, content and connectedness, what results to dynamis/dunamis,
which are the same word, one for power the other potential.
So, energy is defined by other definitions, the least.

Of COURSE conservation of energy is falsifiable! It can be determined
by making measurements. So far, it hasn't been falsified. Supposed
problems have arisen in the past and were put to rest by finding new
forms of energy or new particles.
So it is not falsifiable by experiments. It can only be falsified -by failure- to find a new and better theory of what energy is. (in which it
is again conserved) Of course such a situation is impossible,
for such a failure to find a better thery could just be due to our
collective stupidity. We can never be sure that it cannot exist, Jan

Why wouldn't continuity be just as empty? The human mind just can't
grasp action-at-a-distance, so fields were -- invented. In Q.E.D.,
Feynman asserted that light is -- particles. Particles communicate
between discrete grains over distances, but the math for that is very complicated.
That's why fields (and QFT) were invented. They are simplistic (?) approximations to reality

So you got all that wrong too. There are several variants, and several
patents. The absorbtion cooler works quite well,
There was a group of students some years ago, who had rebuilt the Einstein-Szillard device as a project and complained, that it wouldn't
cool.
