Then one can even do without electrons. Instead: mass, charge, etc. of the electron as properties of the space time regions. >Physics/Field, >Ontology, >Theoretical entities. I 72 Space time should be given priority to the field, if there are several fields. --- III 31 Spacetime points/Field: are not abstract but empirical. III 47f Space-Time/Field: differs from space not only in that it is 4-dimensional, but also in the fact that it has no full Euclidean structure. And it also has an extra structure that is not present in the 4-dimensional Euclidean space. Spatial distance cannot be objectively compared with time, although one could arbitrarily define a comparison (e.g. with uniform movement). >Time, >Motion. III 52 ((s) Space time/space-time/(s): Non-Euclidean, since no common measure for lengths and durations is available. Different: R4 (four-dimensional space) - here there is a common measure in all dimensions.)}, note = { Field I H. Field Realism, Mathematics and Modality Oxford New York 1989 Field II H.
