Abstract The paper focuses on two problems with Alexander Wendt's unification of physical and social ontology the basis quantum theory. Firstly, by endowing phenomena an ontological foundation in reality defined terms Wendt risks reducing a plurality worlds as ‘fields sense’, ordered their immanent rules, to world laws Secondly, defining his science excluding from consideration all that which v...

i=0 ai,kv i = 0. Recall that, since v is trancendental over K, the set {1, v, v, ...} is linearly independent over K. This implies that ai,k = 0 for all k > 0 (otherwise there would be a finite linear combination of powers of v which is zero, hence v would be algebraic over K). Thus each hi above is of the form hi(x) = ai,0 (a constant polynomial), namely hi ∈ K. But then (2) implies that v is ...
