Preface
Introduction and Summary of Chapters
The book is an essay in the foundations of physics; it presents a combinatorial approach; ideas of process fit with a combinatorial approach; quantum physics is naturally combinatorial and high energy physics is evidently concerned with process. Definition of 'combinatorial'; the history of the concept takes us back to the bifurcation in thinking at the time of Newton and Leibniz; combinatorial models and computing methods closely related.
Space
Theory-language defined to make explicit the dependence of modern physics on Newtonian concepts, and to make it possible to discuss limits to their validity; Leibniz' relational, as opposed to absolute, space discussed; the combinatorial aspect of the monads.
