24. 2 molecule comes from electrons tunneling in a six-dimensional hyperspace from one site pair to the opposite can be strengthened by expressing J in terms of a surface integral (Ref. 17). This surface integral represents a particle current crossing a hypersurface separating the two localized site arrangements (a,b) and (b,a).

That the energy splitting between symmetric and antisymmetric states of fermions does not arise from antisymmetrization, but would occur as well for distinguishable particles, has been pointed out in reference to the helium atom in C.
