Big brother in beam dynamics
Therefore the director of your institution, Big Brother himself, will instruct you to design or to collaborate in the design of a stable ring. You must see and breath stable rings. The entire Courant-Snyder theory is not a solution to a mysterious problem but an affirmation that the system under study is a stable system made of a product of circles. You may see resonances or even chaos emerging from the simulation, but if the Party says they are not there, you must either wipe them out by a clever design as you would wipe out any enemy of the Party or you must convince yourself that they are irrelevant and, therefore, not there.
