Hi Tim--
Your essay is superb: rigorous yet readable. In particular, I thought that it was quite thought-provoking, which is the sure sign of any excellent essay.
Question: How does your theory of Theory of Linear Structures deal with closed time-like curves (CTCs) in General Relativity? To focus the question, consider the Gödel Cosmology, which you addressed, for example, on pp. 216-217 of Quantum Non-Locality & Relativity (3rd Ed.). As I understand it, Gödel formulated his cosmology to put a stake through the heart of time, specifically, the notion that time consists of well-ordered linear events. This seems to directly conflict with your theory. Of course, there have been many responses to Gödel's Universe. Many a physicist has simply noted that the Universe does not appear to rotate. Others have said that the cosmology is so insanely vicious that it just can't be right. What's your view?
Two additional, non-substantive points:
First, don't forget page numbers!
Second, on a very personal note, I would like to thank you for taking the time to respond to everyone's questions. You are one of the most prominent contestants. (I know that because I own several of your books, including both the second and third editions of QNL&R.) We all know that you are a very busy guy. Nonetheless, you have taken the time to patiently and judiciously respond to all manner of posts. That is incredibly impressive.
Very best regards,
Bill.
