I suppose that would be correct, the Higgs field and its mathematics is the
hypothesis that is given to explain the observed phenomena. A field in physics
is defined as a region in which each point in space-time is affected by a force.
When we observe the universe, it would seem everything is all part of one
thing, that there is really just one field, but so far, no one has produced a
provable mathematical representation of such a field.
We have all these separate fields which we have come up with in our minds, but
do they really exist, or are they like the lines we draw between the stars to
create a constellation, as matter of convenience?
We have quantum mechanics and relativity, but they are separate. And we have
consciousness, and scientifically cannot figure out how that fits in either,
the TM movement's attempts to snowball it all together notwithstanding.
"How does it all fit?" is a great game. Drives science, the seeking of
enlightenment, religion.
We do not have a workable definition of consciousness for science. There is
usual definition, "the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an
external object or something within oneself," which is subjective, or is
surmised on the basis of behavior, but it does not give a clue to its intrinsic
character as a measurable quantity.

--------------FWIW, that seems to apply also to, say, Higgs field, doesn't it??
The collision of protons, or whatever, createsrare(?) elementary particles that
are predicted to be associated(?) with Higgs field??
