TL;DR Summary
Is there an article that talks about colored vector spaces that are associated with points in k-space?
My idea is as follows. Each mode of the quark field is characterized by a wave vector k. Each wave vector corresponds to a point in k-space. This set of points representing different modes forms a manifold. Each point in k-space can be assigned a three-dimensional vector space that represents the quark's color charge. Does anyone work with this model?
 

Thread 'Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness'

I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...

Thread 'Is It Known For Sure Infinites In QFT Are Caused Using a Continuum?'

I am reading WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians. The author states (2.4 Finite versus Continuous Models) that the use of continuity causes the infinities in QFT: 'Mathematicians are trained to think of physical space as R3. But our continuous model of physical space as R3 is of course an idealization, both at the scale of the very large and at the scale of the very small. This idealization has proved to be very powerful, but in the case of Quantum...
