They have observed Mott orbitals. In the ceramics the Mott-orbitals form BETWEEN the crystallographic layers (CL's): That is why one can also observe them ON the surface of the ceramic. When these orbitals reach a critical density, SC occurs by means of quantum fluctuations (QF). No acceleration is required; no increase in kinetic energy; and thus no force acting on the charge-carriers: No force means no gradient in potential energy: ergo SC.

You can also have Mott-orbitals WITHIN the CL.s. The so-called "gaps" that form within the phase diagram are NOT gaps at all, but a change in the conduction mechanism. Conduction can also occur WITHIN the CL's by thermal hopping (TH). When this conduction is replaced by TH BETWEEN the layers the so-called pseudogap is measured. When the latter conduction is replaced by quantum hopping SC initiates.

Congratulations: The mainstream bigots are slowly discovering what I have tried to publish during the past 10 years. Maybe another 100 years?

By treating sets of neighboring parallel lines as part of a single "cluster," the team discovered that the patterns formed by the clusters are fractal in nature, meaning they fall between two dimensions of space, Carlson said.
I had a suspicion that Hausdorff was involved somehow.

I was thinking to pulse Johan on this one. Thanks for the post.
