The book gives a more complete explanation of these issues and includes a number of related topic discussions. The combination develops the understanding of these concepts from a number of viewpoints.

The discussion is based on the type of solutions that have been found to the Schroedinger equation, the uncertainty principle, quantum tunneling, quantum superposition, and quantum entanglement.

1. The Schroedinger equation predicts that an energy distribution will form a symmetrical distribution under constraints.

2. As the equation is a partial differential (through all dimensions) the symmetry can be different in each dimension depending on the specific constraints in that dimension.

3. An energy distribution that has no constraints in a given dimension is neutral (has an uninteresting distribution) to that dimension.

4. All measurement requires constraints and thus, measurement tunes the energy distribution into a symmetrical pattern.

5. Interaction between energy patterns is caused by constraints and results in further constraints (on both energy patterns).

6. We have the idea that energy distributions are the building blocks of the universe because of the "conservation of energy" and the fact that from energy and momentum we can determine so much about what is going to happen. But energy distributions are not the building blocks of the universe - the constraints on the energy distributions are the building blocks of the universe. The energy distributions are only phantom footprints of these building blocks.

It is like studying ancient mosaics. We are attracted to the tiles where the colors and patterns are extremely interesting and capture our interest. But the structure of the mosaics is in the grout not the tiles.
