A Tale of Two Models

The mnp Model may be presented either as a specific structural model with three entities and three effects that combine and operate as the universe or as a general conceptual model comprised of constituents moving at c. So instead of a single linear exposition, the author is faced with two (nay, more) choices. This dilemma has been faced before. Based on Dickens' model, here is one draft of a start with the original included for reference. On first reading, choose a column.

A Tale of Two ModelsA Tale of Two Cities
I. The EpochI. The Period
It was the best of times,It was the best of times,
it was the worst of times,it was the worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom,it was the age of wisdom,
it was the age of foolishness,it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief,it was the epoch of belief,
it was the epoch of incredulity,it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Understanding,it was the season of Light,
it was the season of Dark Energy,it was the season of Darkness,
it was the spring of hope,it was the spring of hope,
it was the winter of despair,it was the winter of despair,

we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Understanding, we were all going direct to Confusion

we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way

— in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on the Models being rejected, for good or for evil, as the height of folly, vanity, and foolishness with a priori no chance of success.

— in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

There were established journals and authorities on the thrones of science.

There were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a plain face, on the throne of England; there were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a fair face, on the throne of France.

In all Disciplines it was clearer than crystal to the lords of the Discipline preserves of wisdom and knowledge, that things in general were settled for ever.

In both countries it was clearer than crystal to the lords of the State preserves of loaves and fishes, that things in general were settled for ever.

Or not.

Thank you, Charles Dickens. Original here: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/98

In many ways, the present period is not so different from the year of the Current Era one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five. Or it is. Different.

So the mnp/Constituent Model exposition will be a Tale of shuttling back and forth between Two Models with a common origin but separated by a channel of specificity. This Tale is offered in quest of understanding and of an alternate to the current and Standard Models.

The current models have been preserved one hundred eighty, one hundred fifty four, one hundred forty five, one hundred thirty four, one hundred sixteen, one hundred thirteen, one hundred two, ninety three, ninety two, ninety one, and fifty one years, depending on which Current Model one chooses, by diligent experiment and explosive development of useful product. Preserved also by acceptance of the contradictions and unknowns with the promise one makes in science to revisit mysteries and other rough edges. (2)

The two new Models ARE based on the exposed bedrock of physics. The speed of light, c, is a constant. Experiments and the universe Exist (E). The general Model can be considered the Continental Model, since it has some mathematical connection to the rest of physics. It has been christened the Constituent Model. The more specific Model may be considered the island Model, since it appears untethered to any existing theory. It has been christened the mnp Model, for the three basic entities mediators, negatives and positives seen as making up matter, energy, and fields. The mnp Model adds an understanding of the third foundation/leg of modern physics, the Planck constant h.

The quest for novel understanding will be interesting. The tale unfolds...
