Abstract

These twin chapters, 3 and 4, the subtitles of which are ‘Relativistic Covariance Lost’ and ‘Relativistic Covariance slowly Recovered’, do not aim at a balanced presentation of the field of quantum mechanics, of which many significant aspects will not be mentioned. What these chapters aim at is a presentation of those salient aspects of computational methods and of conceptualizing matters which are not only typical of quantum mechanics but are also relevant in our discussion of time, space, motion, probability and information.
