DESCRIPTION:The fundamental equations of electromagnetism involve two fiel
 ds (E and B) that are coupled through one constitutive parameter for appli
 cation to linear isotropic chiral materials. Involving just one field (i.e
 .\, displacement)\, the fundamental equations of linear elasticity are ina
 dequate for the same application. Not only must a new field (i.e.\, micror
 otation) be invoked but it must also be coupled to displacement using four
  constitutive parameters. Therefore\, electromagnetic and elastodynamic (i
 .e.\, Cosserat) descriptions of linear isotropic chiral materials are not 
 simple cognates and produce different phenomenons.
