18 The particle physicists use order parameter fields, too. Their order parameter
19 fields also hide lots of details about what their quarks and gluons are
20 composed of. The main difference is that they don't know of what their fields
21 are composed. It ought to be reassuring to them that we don't always find our
22 greater knowledge very helpful.
