JURISDICTION

Physics / Coordination / Knowing vs. Understanding

OVERVIEW

Refused to confuse knowing the name of something with understanding it. His Feynman diagrams reveal that every interaction in nature is three-body: particle, force carrier, particle. The diagram shows the coordination; the equation obscures it.

WHY THIS VOICE MATTERS TO KNOWWARE

Feynman showed that understanding requires seeing coordination — how three bodies meet at a vertex. His O-ring demonstration proved that analysis fails when the third body (context) is excluded. He teaches that coordination is what intelligence actually recognizes.
