• "The Democritean vision of elementary particles as miniature snooker balls, however, has been somewhat vitiated by quantum theory, and it is not merely the classical notion of a particle as a localisable entity which has been undermined, but the mereological notion that a composite system has a unique decomposition into elementary entities."
• "Rather the Idea is a complex "system of multiple, non-localisable connections between differential elements which is incarnated on real relations and actual terms" (183)."
• "See also Malament (1996) and Clifton and Halvorson (2002), who show that there is a fundamental conflict between relativistic quantum field theory and the existence of localisable particles."
