There is nothing automatically better about something new, or for that matter something that is old.

Perhaps it will be good to use a new measure for an old process.

Perhaps an old process, adapted, re-interpreted could solve a new problem.

Things are made of substance.

Ideas can be substantial.

Beliefs – what are they made of?
