  • While a 'Quantum' is a-tomistic in time and space, an 'elementary' is a-tomistic only in space, recalling the concept of elementary particle.
  • According to mereology, this should be call 'a-tomistic' in the strict etimological sense of the word (from greek, a-tomos: un-divisible).

    Mereology based on such items is called atomistic mereology.

    However, in order not to confuse the lexicon between mereology and physics (in which an atom is a divisible physical entity) we prefer to call it 'elementary', recalling the concept of elementary particle coming from the standard particles model.

    A causal chain is an object which is an (ordered) causal sequence of quantum objects that does not host any bifurcation within itself (a chain). [en]
