Hi Lila Squad
Recently, I stumbled over an e-book on the web called "Event-Symmetric Space-Time"
by Philip Gibbs. Much of the physics described in the book is fairly complicated
even though the writer has made a good job explaining it. You can find it on:
http://www.weburbia.com/press/esst.htm
I don't claim to really understand half of the theory in it but reading it was
quite rewarding nevertheless. Platt, you usually find these MoQ-related stuff on
the web. How come you haven't found this one? Or did I miss you say it?
For example, does this ring a bell?

Events are also what the physicist sees in his experiments when particles come together and interact.
Particle physics, both theoretical and experimental is the pursuit of the most basic events and the rules
which join them. Space-time is made of events but events are more fundamental than their when and
where. Space-time forms out of the relationships between events.

It's almost a carbon copy in a physics disguise of the passage in ZMM when
Phaedrus cuts the Bozeman dilemma in half.
Also, I think it illuminates a very real and tangible difference between SOM and
the MoQ. SOM concerns itself with substance, whereas the MoQ's primary concern
is events.
