It sounds cool, though also intuitively temperature seems like one of the easiest attributes to measure because literally everything is kind of a thermometer in the sense that everything equillibrates in temperature. My prior mental image on inventing temperature is iteratively finding things that more and more consistently/cleanly reflects this universal equillibration tendency.
Is this in accordance with how the book describes it, or would I be surprised when reading it? Like of course I’d expect some thermodynamic principles and distinctions to be developed along the way, but it seems conceptually very different from e.g. measuring neural networks where stuff is much more qualitatively distinct.

Can’t guarantee that you would benefit from it, but this sentence makes me think you have a much cleaner and simplified idea of how one develops even simple measuring device than what the history shows (especially when you don’t have any good theory of temperature or thermodynamics).
So would say you might benefit from reading it. ;)
