32 or 64, the broad ideas will be the same, just need a few examples
to then run with the ball. I guess I'm a bit like Richard Feynman who
could soar highly in abstract ideas, provided only that he an elementary
real exampe upon which to anchor his knowledge.

For example, I had trouble envisaging the Magnetic Vector Potential, A,
until one day at the railway station standing too close to the platform
edge when a train went by causing eddies of dust. (Don't ask!)
