Abstract
The study of any branch of Natural Philosophy should be based on:
- A clear statement of the physical postulates on which the branch of natural philosophy to be studied is based
- A careful study of the optimum mathematical representation of each physical concept to be employed.
What type of holor most perfectly describes each physical concept employed? Is each concept best represented by: a scalar, a complex number, a vector, a matrix, a tensor, or a new type of holor?
