Abstract
To connect topological M theory to full M theory, a reduction from 11-dimensional supergravity to Hitchin's 7-dimensional theory is proposed. One important conclusion is that the complex and symplectic structures represent non-commuting degrees of freedom. This may have implications for attempts to construct phenomenologies on Calabi-Yau compactifications.
