Dear Jojo, a) It has only a symbolic importance perhaps but *"topology *i*s the key" *as idea and as expression was first stated in my 1991 paper.
b) what you say about LENR made in carbon nanostructures is very interesting- however what are the experimental facts that support this bright idea? It is possible that I am not well informed, in this case I apologize for my ignorance.
