Abstract

As physicists, we wish to make mental models of the world around us. For this to be useful, we need to be able to classify features of the world into symbols and develop a rational calculus for their manipulation. In seeking maximal generality, we aim for minimal restrictive assumptions. That inquiry starts by developing basic arithmetic and proceeds to develop the formalism of quantum theory and relativity.
