Interesting Q someone asked: quantum electrodynamics has an obvious classical theory it corresponds to, but quantum chromodynamics and electroweak theory don’t—why’s that? Possible answer: there’s electromagnetism in daily life, but no strong or electroweak force

"Tree level" as in "to forget the forest?" Or is "tree" another term of art?

It’s a very very technical term heh, free level Feynman diagrams are the leading order terms in perturbation theory

so when everything is weakly coupled (as he said), everything is well defined and we can calculate the observables using tree level interactions of Yang Mills, just as we can with QED at tree level as well.. it's just that the theory breaks down at ~.1GeV
