If this kind of connection fits your ideas on representation as well, all the better. Minimally, I'll be satisfied to locate any kind of "natural ontological attitude" in this situation -- I'm just not yet sure what it is.Bryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07379669532781325751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074529824943791718.post-46339889643933259072010-02-23T19:29:48.739-05:002010-02-23T19:29:48.739-05:00Bryan, congratulations on the paper -- I will look forward to reading it. My vague sense of this talk is that a necessary condition on being an elementary particle is that there is this sort of associated representation. And I guess your diagram also fits with this way of thinking about the situation. But this doesn't support any kind of identification or ontic structural realism, I hope!Chris Pincockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10838633162146762394noreply@blogger.com
