Re: Modern Physics, complementarity, realization



Ionel, Howard, Tim and all,

Re: this, on which I agree, three questions below...

Hi, Tim:

A brief, and very much to the point/ appropriate response through
a quote from yesterday's posting by Dr. Howard Pattee:

I do claim that the need for inequivalent complementary models
for adequate understanding of complex systems is couched in
terms of what Rosen believed and expressed.

Does this concise and profound statement fit with Bohr's view of complementarity?

Do the dual models of light as particle and wave provide a good
example of this principle?

Does the principle above (need for inequivalent complementary
models) also suggest that realization of a complex system is not
just about physical realization, but must also include some idea of
a relational realization as well? And even inequivalent physical and
relational aspects of realization that are integral, unified, even
though inequivalent?

Some thoughts, (not having read all the recent posts, but a good
portion, these may have already be discussed...)
