Book excerpt: Introduces the basics to a theoretical method towards rings based on finite maps. Arguing that the theory presented has not been accepted over standard accelerator theory primarily because of the descriptive metaphors chosen, the goal of the book is to structure the conceptual framework metaphorically in a way consistent with the metaphors of accelerator physicists. Moving away from the borrowed language of celestial mechanics, the author grounds the theory in "experiential gestalts" of accelerator theory: real finite length magnets and beam lines.
