Is it possible to learn TGD?
In an earlier blog discussion Hamed asked about some kind of program for learning TGD in roughly the same manner as I did it myself. I decided to write a brief summary about the basic steps leaving aside the worst side tracks since 35 years means too flat learning curve;-).
I wrote a summary about the very first steps, that is the steps made during the four years before my thesis and related to classical dynamics mostly. I could not avoid mentioning and even briefly explaining notions like the “world of classical worlds” (WCW), quantum TGD, Kähler action, modified Dirac equation, zero energy ontology, etc… since I want to relate the problems that I encountered during the first years of TGD to their solutions which came much later, some of them even during this year. I hope that I find time to write similar summaries about later stages in the evolution of TGD and add them to this text.
This summary does not provide any Golden Road to TGD. I do not even know whether it is possible to learn TGD. And certainly it is much more difficult to passively assimilate ideas of others than to actively discover and develop ideas by one self. The authority of the original discoverer – such as that of Witten’s – can help enormously but I do not possess this kind of authority so that I must trust only on the power of the ideas themselves.
Since the text consists of five pages it is more practical to give only a link to the pdf file containing it.
