dleviwing,

I am unsure if I should take that as a compliment, as if you are saying I am on the right track and in many more years of hard work I will attain your present position of total enlightenment, or if I should be offended by a percieved implication that it will take me thirty more years at the rate I am going to get where you are.

Either way, I thank you for taking the time to try and help what I feel you percieve as a less knowledgable person. And not that I am arguing that I am right, perhaps, my decision to view matter as something that can be broken down into smaller pieces, is in effect doing what you advised, and trying to invision a total system of the minimal fundamental properties needed and not just invision a substance with minimal properties. Perhaps, that seems to me, for what ever reason, the most efficient way to describe the interactions within my system, without having to use seemingly more complicated wave interactions and having to use three types of motion, whereby it takes me thirty pages to relay what I feel can be relayed in less.

Not that it's right, but how much more minimal can you get than one space, one type of matter, even if it is in peices, which gives a hopeful added yin yang elegance to the space which contains it, which is the fluid or wave, and one type of motion. Though our world could operate in a totally different manner, I feel as though the interactions I described are plausible and the ability for them to reproduce at least similar effects within their system as the ones within our world are a credit to the total simplicity of the system as a whole. I feel as though all phenomenon can be replicated by the framework I proposed. However, I am not arrogant enough to stand and say without a doubt that this is definately the way the world works. My intentions are merely to make the statement that from no more than what we know of the world, all of our observable phenomenon can possibly be reproduced by the interactions of a minimal few. However, there is always the possibility that for every ounce of elegance and symmetry we percieve within our world, there is a pound of chaos and bs that make it up. Neither you or I can honestly say.
