Do you agree that a summary of your essay's logic is along these lines? Because the present state of the art of physics has only been able to measure a small fraction of atomic and molecular mechanisms at the bottom, then it follows that a top down mechanism may control what is missing down there?

Somebody should look.

A plausible way of looking at this is with cloning. Quantum mechanics tells us that a quantum state can't be duplicated by unitary quantum processes or evolution. Yet from a classical perspective we can clone things, we can duplicate classical objects and we can set up identically prepared quantum states. Admittedly we do these within some "error margin," but we can do it well enough. So one might posit there is some classical "cloning principle," which is a top down rule that does not pertain wo the quantum world.

Dear George,

You are not the only one who ignores my objection but you could be the first one refuting it.

Regards,

Eckard
