|content=@StretchMcLurch I would reserve '[[Gauge Theory|gauge group]]' for the infinite dimensional group of automorphisms of the vector bundle and 'structure group' for the (usually) finite-dimensional structure preserving symmetry group of the individual fibers ( e.g. SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) of the Standard Model).
|content=End/ An interpretation is that [[Ed Witten|Witten]], the greatest living mathematical physicist, was indicating to us that it was only these *abstractions* that were likely to survive, while the instantiations (i.e. the exact equations we still use) would likely perish.

|content=If I had but one paragraph to recommend as the most important in all of literature, it might well be this one. However, as you might imagine, unpacking it, could take up your entire life.

[There is a 'flaw' in the paragraph. The word '[[Gauge Theory|gauge]]' should be replaced by

'structure'.]

|content=@edsonedge I don’t think the thrust of the paper or lecture is anywhere near in importance. It would point you fruitlessly elsewhere.

|content=2/ The Quantum (e.g. quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, quantum measurement, etc...) is relegated to a *secondary* status below the key geometric insights. This was likely done very subtly when the paper was given in the 1980s, as it was, and remains, a revolutionary idea.
