Abstract

As basis for a theory of the elementary particles thefollowing principles are discussed: 1) The field operators neccessary for formulating the fundamental equations do not refer to any specified particle like proton,meson etc..they shall simply refer to matter in general. 2) The particles-elementary or compound-should be derived as eigensolutions of the field equations. 3) The fundamental field equations must be nonlinear to represent interaction. The masses of the particles should be a consequence of this interaction. The concept of ‘bare’ particle has no meaning. 4) The conservation laws and selection rules for the creation and the decay of particles follow from the symmetry and invariance properties of the fundamental equations. Therefore the empirical selection rules should provide the most detailed information on the structure of the equations.
