The knowledge of fundamental physics and the mathematics necessary to perform and understand it are known to few, maybe some tens of thousands of people at most, and commitment to reach those levels entails almost a decade of graduate and post-graduate study. Yet what if it was all much easier and much harder to understand? What if the knowledge necessary was finite and more rapidly attainable to a broader population than the select? A way to identify and outline the most basic structures, a list of all the tools, and a user's guide to describe how to use the tools. | The knowledge of fundamental physics and the mathematics necessary to perform and understand it are known to few, maybe some tens of thousands of people at most, and commitment to reach those levels entails almost a decade of graduate and post-graduate study.

The Graph, Wall, Tome project demonstrates that these resources exist and cover much of the ground, but are still flawed and need refinement. Ed Witten, perhaps the most intelligent living physicist, wrote a paragraph in (year) that linguistically encodes and abstracts the most basic structures. Jim Simmons, billionaire physicist, commissioned the iconic Wall at State University of New York Stony Brook which has inscribed upon it the equations of what Witten says. Sir Roger Penrose, Nobel laureate and descendant of Albert Einstein’s school of geometric physics, wrote a book titled The Road to Reality, which describes and summarizes how to use the mathematics and physics on the Wall and in the Graph. | The Graph, Wall, Tome project demonstrates that these resources exist and cover much of the ground, but are still flawed and need refinement.
