Consider the semi-formal language of contemporary physics. It includes terms such as âclassical limit", âspacetime", and âpath integral". This language does not interpret — in the sense of mathematical logic — in any current axiomatic framework, such as TQFT, the Wightman axioms, or the Haag–Kastler axioms. Arguments formulated in this language must then be treated as metaphors — completely informal objects.In this talk, I will outline a new approach to formalizing physics, specifically designed to interpret the widest possible fragment of the language of physics. In the first approximation, it consists of a ânon-topological TQFT".
