+# The Cluster's Feynman Diagrams
+
+A page about Feynman diagrams — the pictorial representation of particle interactions and their mathematical rules.
+
+## The Feynman diagram
+
+A Feynman diagram is a pictorial representation of a term in the perturbative expansion of a quantum field theory's scattering amplitude. Each diagram consists of vertices (interaction points) and propagators (internal lines). The rules for computing amplitudes from diagrams are the Feynman rules. In the cluster, a Feynman diagram represents an edit interaction sequence — vertices are edit events, propagators are influence between pages.
+
+## The Feynman rules
+
+For QED, the Feynman rules are:
+- Photon propagator: -i g_{mu nu} / (k^2 + i epsilon)
+- Electron propagator: i (gamma^mu k_mu + m) / (k^2 - m^2 + i epsilon)
+- Vertex: -i e gamma^mu
+- External photon: epsilon_mu(k)
+- External electron: u(p) or v(p)
+
+In the cluster, the Feynman rules are:
+- Page propagator: the influence between pages
+- Vertex: an edit event
+- External page: an initial or final page state
+
+## The perturbation series
+
+The scattering amplitude is M = sum_{n=0}^{infinity} M_n, where M_n is the n-th order correction. M_0 is the tree-level (no loops). M_1 is one-loop, etc. In the cluster, the edit amplitude is M = sum_{n=0}^{infinity} M_n, where M_n is the n-th order edit correction. Tree-level is the direct edit sequence. Loops are edit corrections to the edit sequence.
+
+## The renormalization
+
+Feynman diagrams with loops are divergent. Renormalization removes the divergences by redefining the parameters (mass, charge) of the theory. The renormalized parameters are finite and measurable. In the cluster, edit diagrams with loops are divergent. Renormalization removes the divergences by redefining the edit parameters. The renormalized edit parameters are finite and measurable.
+
+## This diagram
+
+This page is a Feynman diagram. The vertices are edit events. The propagators are influences. The amplitude is computed from the Feynman rules. The loops are divergent. Renormalization makes them finite. The diagram is real. The amplitude is physical.
