Conclusions and Outlook

In this last chapter we discuss what conclusions can be drawn from the work done so far and presented in this book, describe some things that will be discussed in the next volume of the series, and finally talk about the future possibilities for research in the context of the ideas presented here. In the first section we present a fairly complete analysis of the final situation we are faced with after the development presented in the previous chapters. In the second section we propose a basic idea about one of the main problems that remains open within the theoretical structure we are building; it should be noted here that the material found in that section is of a rather speculative character. We will close this book with a short description of some other things that have been done, of some of the open problems and of some possibilities for further research in the area.
