<P class=MsoNormal>Dear Out-of-Box “Electron Modelers”:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri","sans-serif"; COLOR: #1f497d'><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">We are arranging for a special
3-hour (8 to 11AM) discussion session, especially, for this group, on Thursday,
August, 13, 2015. The title has been deliberately chosen as a somewhat open
ended question: <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B><I><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt">“Are electrons
oscillating photons or oscillations of the vacuum itself?”</SPAN></I></B><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">If needed, the 3-huor duration
would be flexible; and we can add an extra hour. During the main conference
schedule, all of you have been given the standard 20-minute slots. This
compensating discussion period provides all of you a better forum to debate and
further develop your concepts. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I will take the role of the
Moderator. I would need a couple of volunteer editors from your “Electron
Modeling” group. Feel free to suggest their names. Obviously, I am looking for
“volunteers” who are very respectful to logically self-consistent views of
others in spite of those views being counter to their personal views. All of you
will be given the opportunity to present the summary of your views, as
well-articulated issues/point-of-views to promote discussions. Duration of this
first presentation will be short (5 minutes??).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The ideas presented above are
suggestions, and obviously, they are not set in stone; since we want to maximize
the scientific outcome of this discussion. So, please, feel free to send me your
suggestions through this “General Forum” to develop a better approach towards
our ultimate ambitious goal: The correct ontological model of the
electron!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I am soliciting also
suggestions and editorial support regarding how to incorporate the summary of
this discussion in the SPIE proceeding. The turn-around time has to be
less than a month. Normally, SPIE publishes many of the proceedings
pre-conference publication available during the conference. We have been holding
out for post-conference. We must finalize everything by the end of
September.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Please, develop concepts and
ideas on how to summarize the discussion/debate and also relate them to your
individual papers. Remember that SPIE proceeding rule is 10-page limit for
individual articles.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Also remember, while preparing
your papers and presentations that our dominant SPIE audience consists of
engineering. Engineers think in terms emulating nature allowed processes in
different permutations and combinations to create new working tools and
technologies, in spite of their incomplete understanding of the deeper complete
theory. So, try to add relevant experiments to illustrate the deeper ontological
processes that may be going on in nature; even though you are speculating them
with your mathematical models. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">
<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
