thank you both, gentlemen, for educating me in site policies and QCD respectively. i admit that i am a personal theorist, and that this is not the place for me, but so far I've been unable to find the right affinity group for me. all i know is that in QCD, just as in the Big Bang Theory, the...

the reason i ask about this is that I've developed a transition sequence in another model I'm playing with, and wondering if the idea of a preferred sequence might also apply to quarks and their color-changing.

i think i follow what you mean, mfb, but within the languaging of QM, might it still not be possible to posit one or more sequences in which a given color-charge process is more likely to be followed by a second one than its by its peers. as a start, is there any basis upon which to posit that...

are the transitions described by gluons thought to occur in any particular sequence? for example, perhaps a blue quark turning into a red quark is always followed next by a red quark turning into a green quark.

thank you

in a way, it feels like we don't need the quarks because all of the information is inherent in the gluons, which are di-vided but communicate tri-vision, and therefore speak the languages of both two-ness and three-ness of which the world is made.

i think of this kind of logic as "failed fourth" because it feels like we've identified a valid trivision of the concept of color-charge, but then have somehow lost the essence of that when we put two color charge qualities into a single eigen-value for the purpose of creating a label.

as far as the gluon and the yinyang, they look similar, i think, because i picture them as having two halves of different colors

somehow it seems that distinct 'colors' should not be hyphenated to be used as lables for naming gluons, because the eigen-value for, say, green-ness communicates the quality of that color-charge which we call green, and which is, in spirit, orthogonal to the other unique color-charge qualities...

if "color" is one of the eigenvalues, how may a single gluon be in possession of 2 of them and still be unique? also, a 2-color gluon is reminiscent of a 2-color tao, no?

nismaratwork, i'm sorry but i don't really understand how you're using those terms. i'm just asking if it's reasonable to say that, when we wonder if something exists, we're usually picking between a 'yes' and a 'no'. and that, when we wonder if something is real, we feel free to choose...

dear Pythagorean and other participants, i wonder if it would be useful to make a distinction between the property of existence and the property of reality. i don't mean actual existence and actual truth, but just the ideas of each. it seems to me that we use the idea of a property of...

dear Femme_physics, i'm a chemist and my dad was, too. i'd definitely recommend that you take organic chem before biochem, as the latter builds on the former. for what it's worth, my favorite is physical chemistry, especially thermodynamics. baxishta

and here's a picture of us on our honeymoon in Italy, plus a diagram called 'the 3 faces of self'. (i guess 3 is the language of the mystics). bax

dmatador, i appreciate your taking the time to give me this supportive feedback. my personality type is that i have a natural inclination toward mystical insight. i noticed that, when i tried to write regular poems to my wife, i couldn't do it. but when i tried to highlight her unique role in...
