| PHYSICS AS SYMMETRY | How symmetry, something we associate with the shape of objects, is connected to theories about the workings of the physical world. | ||
| MATHEMATICAL STRUCTURE OF IDENTITY | By casting the mathematical structure of group theory verbally via the use of a metaphor we unveil how the mathematics expresses the philosophical world view embedded in physics. | ||
| IS SYMMETRY IDENTITY? Introductory Sections | We examine the premise that symmetry is identity; that group theory - the abstract mathematical generalization of symmetry - encodes our experience of identification; that symmetry is so elemental that it coincides with the concept of identity itself. | ||
