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 appreciate this formulation. I find myself thinking more in terms of
"concentrated loci" in a high-dimensional field when I otherwise would
think of "network" of atoms (or simples)... the "schwinger effect"
article provided a good overview of this conception in an energy/mass
field... I'm (re)reading it now before "church" with St. Stephen of the
Complexity Babble at Sopapilla factory... maybe a margarita to smooth
out the wave-particle distinctions...
it's loci all the way down...

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??

It seems like this is another example where the arrogance of the
abstraction reigns. 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.
