Work
Halprin has published papers through the General Science Journal, including No Strings Attached (2004) and Ultimate Analysis (2008). In this work he re-examines the postulational base of a physical theory, reworking what he first framed as "Four Postulates" into "Two Preliminary Assumptions, a Definition and a Postulate", and emphasizes the linguistic and philological aspects of stating such assumptions in ordinary language. His work is presented as a foundational critique and lies outside the mainstream physics literature.
