CHAPTER

Is There a Set of Hamiltonians?

There's an infinite number of hamiltonians i can write down, but at least for simple ones, there's a finite set of little rules that we can write down for our hypographs. So maybe there's a map from the set of rules to hamiltonians, but it's a very, very one, few to few, rather than covering the whole space of possible hamiltonians. Mayi onot be im: It looks like we get ones that show local gagin variance. And then we have to ask, you know. What kind of things emerge from this lower level structure? Because in our models, all we're talking about are particles.
