Before this goes any further, I have to say that I appreciate the defense, but let's not overstate my demonstrated competencies. I would like to construct a field theory which applies this to this, and I am studying a well-known model system from string theory with a view to modifying it to match the real world, and I have various other conceptual projects. So I'm able to have ideas, but hardly any of these projects are at the stage where I have calculations to perform, and in that area I'll be leaning on references for a long time to come.
