Quantum field theory's renormalization group demonstrates that particle masses run with energy scale, but this running is universal and history-independent, contradicting Weyl's path-dependence.

Renormalization group(as a method in quantum field theory)
A mathematical technique physicists use to understand how the properties of particles change when you zoom in or out to look at them at different scales of size or energy.
Weyl(as a historical reference in physics)
Hermann Weyl (1885-1955) was a German mathematician and physicist who identified a mathematical problem about how to connect measurements made in different reference frames in a consistent way.
universal(Argument for the generality of Turing machines)
A computing system capable of simulating any other computing system of the same or lesser power; used here to describe Turing machines as the most general model of computation.
