  • I am proposing that small molecules, such as ordinary water, have sufficiently small state spaces that even within a quite small volume plausible numbers of them could be assumed to participate in ground-state phonon condensates, in the same sense that nuclei do in ordinary Mossbauer.

  • Building on a radically new analysis of the self, human agency and society, Roy Bhaskar shows how the world of alienation and crisis we currently inhabit is sustained by the ground-state qualities of intelligence, creativity, love, a capacity for right-action and a potential for human self-realisation or fulfilment.
