The initial legislation aimed at controlling the German populations of the individual territories but, as the war progressed and Germanophobic resentment increased, the aim increasingly became elimination, whether this consisted of preventing the use of the German language, confiscating German property, or deporting Germans and their families, although the latter two policies did begin to evolve in the early stages of the conflict.

The Chenghai district, in which Swatow is situated, is in fact but a vast alluvial plain formed by the sand and mud brought by the waters of the Han river, the numerous branches of which find their outlet to the sea in that district.

We have already alluded to decoherence in connection with the emergence of classical space-time, the ‘collapse′ of the wave function (Case 3) and the notion of entanglement. Physicists have hailed the discovery of decoherence as ‘the most important advance in the foundation of quantum theory since Bell's inequalities.’¹³¹ This praise is based on good reasons: (a) decoherence offers new ways of understanding quantum mechanics for it embodies a critique of entrenched terminology (‘collapse’ of the wave function, complementarity); (b) it is testable since it appeals to physical processes; (c) it offers an insight into a much more fundamental level of quantum indeterminacy.
