It is assumed that the relationships between elementary particles in no way change the natures of the elementary particles, for they are eternal in their natures. Particles and their natures are primary: relationships between particles flow from the particles, their natures, and their initial conditions. Relationships are not sources of change, they merely are change---change in positions, or the cause of the changes in positions of unchanging elementary particles. Some people believe that a complete understanding of the relationships between unchanging elementary particles will be the basis for understanding the relationships between changing persons. No evidence has been advanced in support of this belief. No coherent theory of the nature of persons makes clear that the belief if grounded in a coherent theory which is itself grounded in experiential evidence. The belief seems to be just that, a belief grounded in faith. It seems strange that relationships between changing persons whose mutual perceptions occasion further changes- --should be understandable in terms of elementary particles which neither change nor perceive, and do not respond mutually to human perceptions of them. It is not clear why modeling of human perceptions and relationships should be based upon non-perceiving elements which relate to each other in ways so different from human ways of perceiving and changing. Justification for the strange choice may exist, but it needs to be explicitly made and examined. In any event, the ultimate justification is to be found in how fruitful or barren the choice of model is --- how well it promotes mutual understanding and cooperative behavior between mutually understanding people. To the extent that the model occasions alienation and misunderstanding between and among those who take it seriously, to such an extent it is not wise to take the model seriously. Neither should it be honored if it occasions alienation between those who take it seriously and those who do not. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
