The basic challenges are following.
- One should perform the functional integral over world of classical worlds (WCW) for fixed values of on mass shell momenta appearing in internal lines. After this one must perform integral or summation over loop momenta.
- One must achieve this also in the p-adic context. p-Adic Fourier analysis relying on algebraic continuation raises hopes in this respect. p-Adicity suggests strongly that the loop momenta are discretized and ZEO predicts this kind of discretization naturally.
The realization that p-adic integrals could be defined if the manifold is symmetric space as the world of classical world (WCW) is proposed to be raises the hope that the WCW integration for Feynman amplitudes could be carried at the general level using Fourier analysis for symmetric spaces. Even more, the possibility to define p-adic intergrals for symmetric spaces suggests that the theory could allow elegant p-adicization. This indeed seems to be the case. It seems that the dream of transforming TGD to a practical calculational machinery does not look non-realistic at all.
I do not bother to type more but give a link to a short article summarizing the basic formulas. For more background see also the article Weak form of electric-magnetic duality, electroweak massivation, and color confinement and the chapter Does the Modified Dirac Equation Define the Fundamental Action Principle?.
