Pauli replies to Källén's letter of the 13 December 1957. Pauli agrees with him that the indefinite metric is the correct way. He talks about the macroscopic space-time description with complex roots and the Bisection of zero-states in parts corresponding to the upper and lower half-plane which must be connected with the difference between observed object and observing subject. By this bisection symmetric violations are introduced in a most natural way. He writes on his discussion with Heisenberg and on complex ghosts in weak interactions.

Pauli talks about the logical possibility of getting particles with mass different of zero in a world with $\gamma_{s}$-invariance and hints at another "unconventional" solution of the problem.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli asks Jordan to send his cosmological works to Prof. Lichnerowicz at Strasbourg. He writes about Jung's interest in parapsychology. He has a negative opinion about a book by an American psychologist, E White, on the "Unobstructed Universe".
Pauli, WolfgangPauli replies to a letter about affine field theory. Pauli explains why the unity of field theory is impossible, because the reduced curvature tensor splits into a symmetrical and antisymmetrical part, which can never be brought together again.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli writes on additional calculations about Jordan's theory of gravitational constant.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli gives some details about the confor-transformations in Jordan's field equations.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli replies to three questions of Jordan: 1) on heat conductivity, 2) on his possible visit to Hamburg, 3) on a problem which Delbrück might be able to answer.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli congratulates Jordan on his appointment in Rostock. He makes short comments on Fermi's paper on quantum electrodynamics, on the paper by Fock and Weyl on the field equations of matter waves , which are invariant with respect to arbitrary rotations, and by which Einstein's Fernparallelismus comes to grief. He gossips about Einstein's lectures on Fernparallelismus and quantum theory. He writes about the gauge invariance and gives rumors about a new paper by Dirac.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli thanks Jordan for sending him the booklet on "Komplementarität und Verdrägung". He writes of C G Jung's interest in these questions as well as in Rhine's experiments. He talks about Jung's "synchronistic" phenomena.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli thanks Jordan for his book "Schwerkraft und Weltall". He has also read Ludwig's book on progress in projective theory of relativity. He thinks that the projective formulation (homogeneous coordinates) does not improve or add anything to Kaluza's formulation. He asks about the recent value of the Hubble constant. The idea of a changing gravitational constant seems plausible to him.
