A number of fundamental tests were constructed which can be used to probe discrete symmetries, and their possible violations, in the required ``new physics`` beyond the standard model. On-going experiments with unpolarized e{sup {minus}} e{sup +}, collisions contain many events for the production-decay sequence e{sup {minus}} e{sup +} {yields} Z{degree}, {gamma}* {yields} {tau}{sup {minus}} {tau}{sup +} {yields} (A{sup {minus}}X)(B{sup +} X). By inclusion of {rho} polarimetry observable such experiments enable two distinct tests for leptonic CP violation in {tau} {yields} {rho}{nu} decay by generalization of the energy correlation function for Z{degrees}, or {gamma}* {yields} {tau}{sup {minus}} {tau}{sup +} {yields} ({rho}{sup {minus}}{nu}) ({rho}{sup +}{bar {nu}}). Other research programs are (i) continuing to investigate the proposal that partons be identified with nearly degenerate, coherent quark-gluon ``jet`` states, and are (ii) investigating the novel consequences of q-analogue quantization of quantum fields, and of a completeness relation for the q-analogue coherent states.
