Abstract
IN four papers1–4, I have presented my conviction that it might be possible to describe the phenomena of physics by generalizing the laws of optics to space-time. Instead of looking immediately for a field theory which comprises quantum physics, I suggested that it might be possible to proceed in three stages corresponding to three mathematical disciplines.
