Description
Scope/Content: Before writing the long thesis, Hugh Everett wrote three short papers on topics that would ultimately be discussed in the thesis. Here John Wheeler responds to those. Wheeler expresses his belief that one of the papers is essentially publishable already; a second, though, he thinks need to be toned down before he shows it to Bohr.
Scope/Content: This document was found in the basement of Mark Everett in 2007 by Mark Everett and Peter Byrne.
