To Believe Or Not Believe In The A Potential, That’s a Question. Flux Quantization in Autistic Magnets. Prediction of a New Effect

Electromagnetic gauge as an integration condition was my wording in previous publications. I argue here, on the examples of the Möllenstaedt-Bayh and Tonomura tests of the Ahraronov–Bohm (AB) effect, that not only the trapped flux Φ but also, under the integration condition A ≡ 0 if Φ = 0, the local value of the vector potential is measured.
