Overarching Symmetries

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 1:47 pm

By the Daniel J. Peterson whose Swarthmore honors thesis was quoted
here last night

"What, then, is the relationship between theory-relative symmetries 
(physical symmetries) and theory-independent symmetries 
(overarching symmetries)? My statement of this problem is
a bit abstract, so let’s look at an example: classical Newtonian gravity
and classical electromagnetism . . . ."

— Prospects for a New Account of Time Reversal
by Daniel J. Peterson, Ph.D. dissertation, U. Mich., 2013, p. 16.

Another 2013 approach to the word "overarching" and sytmmetries —

Other terms of interest:  TenetNolanism , and Magic for Liars .
