Weyl (1921b, 1924e) refers to his theory of matter as the Agenstheorie der Materie (literally, agent-theory of matter): Matter-Field Dualism (Weyl's Agens Theory of Matter): Matter and field are independent physical realities that causally interact with each other: matter uniquely generates the various states of the field, and the field in turn acts on matter.
We saw that Weyl forcefully advocated a field-body ontological dualism, according to which matter and the guiding field are independent physical realities that causally interact with each other: matter uniquely generates the various states of the guiding field, and the guiding field in turn acts on matter.
"We didn't get elected to act on matters of international policy.
No laws are being broken; officials are permitted to work as lobbyists, and also to vote and otherwise act on matters that directly benefit their lobbying clients.
And many cities are not waiting for the state to act on matters of equality: Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth, San Antonio and many other cities have passed local ordinances prohibiting anti-LGBTQ discrimination.
How a gravitational field acts on matter, telling it how to move.
Einstein, beginning with the insight that acceleration and gravity exert an equivalent force, worked for years to find the equations that would describe How a gravitational field acts on matter, telling it how to move.
Riemann thereby introduced into the study of geometry the notion of geometric fields and foresaw the possibility of a dynamical geometry which not only acts on matter but is in turn affected by matter.
By employing a series of massively parallel ab-initio simulations, we study how optical forces act on biological matter subject to morphological disease.
In an unusual twist, one of the seven Court of Appeals judges who will act on the matter — the state's chief judge, Jonathan Lippman — shared a distinction with Joseph Alessandro in a 2005 judicial election.
