:::PatrickD's sounds like an ideal layout to me: I think it will be helpful to distinguish between these various sorts of field theories, and we can give extremely explicit examples in the case of gravity and electromagnetism.  I'll pitch in where I have an idea, but this article probably isn't my top priority right now. --[[User:MarkGall|MarkGall]] 22:58, 1 November 2009 (EST)

::::I think the contemporary meaning of "field theory" requires a force field (waves or particles or GR), and so I question whether classical gravity, with its action-at-a-distance, qualifies under contemporary usage.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:54, 1 November 2009 (EST)
