Abstract

The hypothesis of the existence of abstract structures in physics, which has been made in recent papers, is made precise. Difficulties in previous formulations are removed and insight into Maxwell electrodynamics is obtained. General relativity is related to other field theories which deal with flux from sources, and new field equations for general relativity are proposed.
