in EMMO- 1.0.0-rc1 Vacuum class is defined as a subclass of Field . As modern (Quantum-) Physics still struggles
describing the nature of a "field" and it's relation to "matter" (or vacuum, which is per definitionem the absence of all matter, in its pure form a more theoretical concept / idea), I am wondering, why the EMMO designers used that class-subclass relation ?
It would be nice to read some elucidations in the class annotations of "Vacuum".
(another question is, if something like "the complete absence of matter" can be described with the present EMMO concepts, since it fits more in the category of ideas, like hypothesis, plans, strategies, algorithms. The same might hold true with "fields" since they are also massless => philosophically quite a challenging problem ).
