The Evolution of Koon's Exclusion Principle in Quantum Mechanics
I think that historians end up a little bit fractal I think we reproduce our work and of course write into our work the stuff that we like. So yeah people have basically learned a lot of the detail that Pauli and Isaac are of this sort of stuff. And in fact he showed in the conclusion how much Pauli's exclusion principle is actually based in the kind of methodology that he learned studying under Zomrefald. Right and that was very intentional, again was a suggestion from one of my readers from the new war to see how this stuff played out for quantum mechanics. That's right so you're in some way your methodology for pointing us to the detail and the phenomenology is
