His personification is big andcrew-cut, with a barrel chest and beefy forearms. "MajorHusband," he pronounced slowly. "Nothing that you've doneso far is on solid theoretical ground, and your observationaltechnique is novel. You base a lot of your theories on Darryl'stenuous arithmetic. But up til now we’ve given it a lot ofserious thought. You've questioned our whole theory of thiswar, now you want us to question the foundations of subatomicphysics?""Sir, once again, I can't prove what I have, I need moredata. I don't need the power of the main tangler, just a thinlittle beam and some tracking software and I can make manymore studies. I can track down the flaw in my technique. Iwant to go back and re-examine that impactor to see if itshares this new phenomenon. I want to see if normal matterdoes it. Darryl's got some interesting transforms that showlogic circuits can simulate the properties of fourth ordercondensates.""What's so special about fourth order? What about thirdorder?""That didn't get me down into the Planck frequencies thelogic simulation needed," Thom told him, "and Darryl'sexplored simulations of third order for years without findingany special properties. I know nesting levels are neversignificant so what we are seeing must have really have204
