The Fermion Interaction:
An interaction with entry ingredients A,B and exit ingredients C,D is denoted as you see, here:
A+B → C+D
which implies it's anti-equivalent.
A fermion interaction is an interaction between first and second order objects, i.e.: between solitary S sub R matrices.
The initial step in a fermion interaction proceess is fu
