    Engels had a large amount of fragmentary notes on it that were posthumously published by Bernstein as the Dialectics of Nature. Engels intentions with them is still debated and they are not a choherent work given their fragmentary nature. Interestingly Einstein was consulted over their publication, and wanted them published as intellectual curiosities into Engels thought, but was firm they had no scientific value.

      Cool. I knew that was locked in my brain from having seen it somewhere but at 5am I'm just not at all with it enough to dive into those deepest reaches for info.
