The web-sheets cannot support exactly the same typography as wiki pages. And web-sheet formats are somewhat unstable anyway. So some variation is required. For example, anti-particles are noted...
To make a logical description of experience, we have to make some initial assumptions.
First Hypothesis
Theoretical physics is a description of six classes of sensation.
This is quite an...
Some particles are unusual because the rotating quarks in their cores make asymmetric patterns. For example here are the rotating quarks in electrons, neutrons, protons and pions. They all have a...
Throughout WikiMechanics symbols for particles use upright san-serif fonts. Symbols for numbers are in slanted fonts with serifs. Both kinds are shown in a combined list below. They are presented...

Quark coefficients for a selection of well-known nuclear particles in their ground-states are shown below. To satisfy Anaxagorean convention, Cantor's definition of a set, and Pauli's exclusion...
Consider a particle P = {Z1 , Z2 … Zk … Z2N} composed of 2N seeds where each seed is characterized by its audibility and its thermal energy. We characterize P using a sum over all component...

We describe lambda baryons using chains of events that represent the particle in its ground-state
where each repeated event Ω is composed of the following quarks

Seed Aggregate Model
We describe the mechanics of muons by weaving together various chains of events that link absorption and emission processes. The archetypal history that these interactions...
We describe neutron phenomena using chains of events that link the interaction of force-carrying particles with the neutron. The archetypal history that these interactions modify is called the...

We describe the omega baryon using the chain of events
where the symbol Ω- represents the baryon, and Ω without a negative sign notes the repeated event. Each orbit is composed of the following...
The relative covariance between the components of the inertia considered for all the quarks in the human environment is a set of constants that we call the quark metric. The value of the weak...

The earth as seen from Apollo 17, December, 1972.
WikiMechanics uses touching the Earth as a reference sensation. So we presume that there are some feelings to do with life on Earth that...
Here we consider different choices for the six sensations adopted in the second hypothesis. There are basically two ways to do this:
Substitution. E.g. for deaf or blind physicists,...
Any categorical system for describing sensation is arbitrary. For example, here are some interesting alternative ways of using words to describe colors. There are thousands of...

Starting with a discussion about Sensation
This wiki starts from the premise that we can understand physics by describing what we see, hear and feel. This is not a radical proposition. A central...
