[General] SU(2) equation set

[John Williamson]

Hello Al,

Hi Chip:

The challenge is to overcome the tendency of the human mind to synthesize abstract stories with emotional appeal but lacking in coherence.  Formal logic is the only hope of imposing counter discipline.

Agreed. Coherence is vital. Formal logic and discipline as well.

One does need, occasionally, to “synthesize abstract stories”. One needs the IRON discipline, though, of keeping them within the strict framework of BOTH what has gone before that works well AND (more importantly) absolute agreement with ALL of experiment. As you say, that is hard, very hard, even very very very hard.

Eventually, to solve Hilbert's sixth, someone has to do it. In the absence of an Einstein or a Newton or a Maxwell - one of us must step up to the mark. Ok, chances are anything we try will not quite hit the target – but it is fun playing the game anyway.

So – tell me where you think, emotional appeal aside, my abstract story lacks coherence. Please?
