25. m for some m does not exist, the structure of the theory would not change; the only effect would be that the size of the part of Hilbert space that is relevant for the calculation of correlation functions would be somewhat smaller.
26. 8 because of a different choice of the form of the "multiplication" on the left-hand side of eq 11 and a different choice of the "identity" I [see eq 12] that appears that appears on the right-hand side. The differences are small, that is, various factors of n!, but the definition presented here is more suitable for the graphical formulation that is the subject of this paper.
