The last couple of days saw me devoting a lot of time to it . Eventually I decided to dig back into ancient times the 1990s surveying some of the interesting things we’ve learned about strong coupling phenomena involving unexpected reorganization of degrees of freedom and the number of spacetime dimensions at times and then
