Even without the math, I think the main point is that of field vs particle. We talk a lot about networks. But you can imagine a smooth blob of goo (maybe like Silly Putty or pizza dough) being stretched and kneaded such that some parts are hard-ish clumps and other parts thin or splitting. That's what I'm thinking when I think about when a positron and electron pop out from the fields.

I don't know nearly enough mind bending high levels abstract maths to have more than tons of questions. I thought information (in the math sense) 'just' meant 3 of something and you might know of what but the absolute value of that 3 is the piece of info your starting with, and keep from being mangled when working backwords to what that 3 is in the real world . Or is this morein the spooky physics sense where if certain metals are made super duper cold you can levitetate trains kind of quantum mechanics??

Because the math relating holes and electrons is the same (?) as that relating electrons and positrons, does it mean studying one gives us insight into the other? Does the metaphysics really translate? Arrogant or not, it's super effing cool.
