We suggest further directions for investigating the practical utility of these symmetries. We discuss potential interpretations in greater depth in a companion blog post.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/prospecting-a-possible-quadratic-wormhole-between-quantum-mechanics-and-plurality/}, }
