       “ An electron is a particular type of regularity that appears among   
       measurements and observations that we make. It is more pattern than   
       a substance. It is order...Thus we arrive at a strange place. We   
       break things down into smaller and smaller pieces, but then the   
       pieces, when examined, are not there. Just the arrangements of them   
       are. What then, are things, like the boat, or its sails, or your   
       fingernails? What are they? If things are forms of forms of forms of   
       forms, and if forms are order, and order is defined by us..they   
       exist, it would appear, only as created by, and in relation to, us   
       and the Universe. They are, the Buddha might say, emptiness.  ”
