Bill, if you're going to that much trouble, shouldn't the meta be *above* the physical?

The word "metaphysics" comes from the title given to the original Greek writing, "ta meta ta physika", meaning "to be placed AFTER the physics" (Caps supplied by yours truly), referring to the position this paper or chapter was to occupy in the final assembled book. Not "above", but "after".
