TRANSMOGRIFICATION. “Furthermore, this assimilation of matter to the concept of a field continued with quantum theory. Even elementary quantum theory has a formulation (wave mechanics) which can be thought of as a field theory. And this picture deepens with the advent of quantum field theory: here physical quantities describing matter are again represented by a field; albeit in a transmogrified form in which an operator (rather than a simple real number) is associated with each space, or space-time, point.”
