Abstract
In earlier sections the statistical fragmentation theory of Mott was considered in some depth. An alternative fragmentation theory based on energy balance principals has also been pursued by the present author and others. As posed, the two theories appear to be based on strikingly different principals. In the present section attempts are pursued to understand and reconcile differences between the two theories. For the purpose of this reconciliation the essential features of both theories are summarized. This summary represents a condensation of same the material provided in the previous sections.
