Reflecting "chaleur and the caloric" with "a-diabatic and non-a-diabatic", has that Fourier is surely great and all of analysis sits on its examples, while as well any sort of difference from the "one-way" model, or for example any sort difference in the formalism the interpretation of uniqueness of the Fourier series, does reflect on that the Laplacian is _partials_ (incomplete). The "photon" its definition has been so diluted and overloaded that its relevance to measuring and defining velocity, has broken the metrics and norms in most all extensions. Then, it's perceived your more sober assessment is improved, than before your so-correspondent estimation of "truth", regards these matters. The physics and philosophy with regards to theory and metaphysics, are a combined notion, for a "the theory of truth" and for as d'Espagnat puts it a very "realist" theory, of a "the physics". Classical motion itself is under-defined. This "unstated assumptions" or "hidden implicits" or what make "supplemental variables" when "hidden variables" were put down as negligeable, these "zero-eth laws" help show that physics is more than absent philosophy.
