Have disconnected New MacBook2020 from iCloud and now have begun to put it back together leaving the connection to NewMacbook to recover stuff from the cloud (assuming that that machine has its own connection to the

the cloud. No the 2011 computer, the cloud and the 4TB Seagate drive divided into two time machine and two CCC backups (one for each machine) hopefully give me an adequate level of security for the next 20 years and I can get back into my groove and sort out "the book". Keeping Aristotle in the picture (since his combination of matter and form (to take care of ontology) and the unmoved mover (to get the ontogenesis working) remains a good analogic foundation for my conceptual union of theology and physics [now science]. I will be forever quoting Aristotle's description of his god.

Chapter 16; gravitation and the creation of dynamic particles. I have added a synopsis to this chapter and may do it for them all to create a detailed table of contents, an 'executive summary'.

Streater and Wightman page 96: 'Field 1. It is observable; 2. It is defined by a set of functions on space-time with a well defined transformation law under an appropriate relativity group.' Streater & Wightman (2000): PCT, Spin, Statistics and All That

At last, after beginning to think about Hilbert space being independent of minkowski space in 2009 (according to my notes) I only began to take it seriously in about 2021. Now I have to face the problem of how Minkowski space gets its properties.

[page 332]

'One expects the analogue in relativistic quantum mechanics of a classical observable field to be a set of hermitean operators defined at each point of space-time and having a well defined transformation law under the appropriate group.'

' The technique of expressing properties of the theory in terms of the properties of vacuum expectation values is the principal tool used in getting the results in chapter 4.'

Streater page 97: Assumptions [axioms]

0. 'The states of the theory are described by unit rays in a separable Hilbert space. Relativistic transformations unitary.

Uniqueness of vacuum: U(a. A)Ψ₀ = Ψ₀

page 98: von Neumann: MQFM: L²(Rⁿ) page 64 in 1965 edition (digression on conditions A to E on separability)

page 99; Fields: spin 0 1 component [Higgs], Vector and Dirac have 4 components.

page 100: spacelike separated commute.

' The fact that anticomutation relations are of interest is not indicated in any classical analogue, this was one of the discoveries of the founders of our subject.'

' To be a field theory, a relativistic quantum theory must have enough fields so that its state can be uniquely

[page 333]

characterized using fields and functions of fields.

Streater page 113; cluster decomposition property: ' systems far apart by spacelike distance interaction falls to zero.' What about entanglement?

page 5: Super selection rules should perhaps form a 'tree of life' beginning with the root, zero gravitation, splitting into potential and kinetic energy and quantum mechanics splitting into fermions and bosons, then further splits are controlled from Minkowski space operating as an operating [selection] system.

page 134: Chapter 4: ' In the present chapter [the tools previously assembled] are used to establish a series of general properties of relativistic quantum field theories.'

Quantum field theory effectively brings relativity into the Universal bedroom where linear operators and complex vectors are trying to mate to create spectra of eigenvalues without being disturbed. We have kicked relativity out of the menage so that pure quantum theory can do its thing in the darkness before spacetime intrudes. Now, of course, we have to bring the children out into the light and subject them to relativity. What is the result? I have no idea at the moment but in the end we will need a theory of measurement that can take the data from the LHC and explain it. I have to begin worming my way toward

[page 334]

an answer and . . .

From an evolutionary point of view a symmetry is a theme that can be used again and again with insubstantial variations to achieve more complex systems. So we see the idea of genes and ribosomes was implemented quite early in life and served as a way of preserving progress so far in order to build more. So we think the quantum invention of fermions and bosons made Minkowski space possible which became a genetic space for further advances n evolution.

The thing about the book is that it must get to a certain point where progress is possible but not go so far as to begin to become wrong.

The physicist like Streater and Wightman are looking for mathematical symbolisms that mimic reality just as Boole tried to create an algebra of logic which has subsequently expanded into the internet. My humble claim to know anything is based on Boole who took argument, one of the most complex of human behaviours far beyond anything an electron might do, and reduced it to simple algebra. The heuristic of simplicity encourages me in this direction with theology. My current problem is to put special relativity back into particle physics in order to give quantum mechanics free reign, an idea analogous to the invention of genetics in life.

Darwin called his book the origin of species and his evolutionary idea gave meaning and intelligibility to the vast web of life that surrounds us. He knew nothing about genetics except what was already known to everybody from time immemorial, that living things breed true with variation, but his idea was right and has been enormously extended by our ability to read genes and compare them using computers to watch the progress of evolution in action. This work, and our work on molecular physiology shows that every life form has descended from a last universal common ancestor, the initial singularity of life.

I am trying to take this idea right back to the beginning of this book.

So my day's work is laid out before me and I just have to do it, slowly edging closer to the heavenly home of my dreams. First job, catch up with the publication of last weeks notes so nothing will be lost. I have abandoned Apple's walled garden and am slowly getting my computers back to the way I want them after they were visiously modified by capitalist imperialists claiming that they wre working in my best interests by enslaving me.

I have BBEdit 13.5.7.

Photons are ephemeral and eternal; electrons are durable two state systems. The primordial bosons and fermions come with a partner, the positron and for the foundation of the boson / fermion construction of the universal memory and processing system, spacetime, Minkowski space.

To facilitate searching and ultimate web publication I am making the book cognitive cosmogenesis into a [site] whose sitename is QT (Quantum Theology), which is a book about [the divine universe of particles].

The Dirac equation effectively creates spacce with photos and photons. Read.

Football is a field theory because all the contacts between the players and the ball are officially one on one, everybody it watching everybody else, causing all sorts of Lamb shifts.

There are heaps of restarts in the game, not possible in reality.

Overall my scheme seems a bit dodgy, but

[page 337]

is it as dodgy as fictitious infinities and zero sized particles? Maybe. The big problem I see is in constructing Minkowski space from photons and electrons. The photons travel on null geodesics of zero interval so they are effectively just fingers of Hilbeert space and there is no need to make relativistic adjustments for massless bosons. But what is happening when an electron or proton is accelerated to thousands of times its re mass and what effect does it have on its behaviour.?There is time dilation, length contraction and mass increase but all of this is happening in Minkowski space whereas on the hypothesis that Hilbert space is independent of Minkowski space we expect no changes in the quantum mechanical system [except changes in the kinematic rate of change of phase which do not change the actual details of the process, just execute it more quickly, as we see in conventional computers]. Nevertheless what we see in Minkowski space has to be accommodated somehow and we are not allowed to change the quantum mechanics. There must therefore be some change in the actual eigenvalues as they emerge from Hilbert space into Minkowski space [???].

I would like to think that there is a big clue in Dirac's treatment of the Schrödinger equation [taking the square root of the momentum operator taking it from quadratic to linear] so it is time to work on this a bit by reading Atiyah's piece in Goddard's book about Dirac. Sleep well me, and wake up with a cogitative picture of the transformation from Hilbert to Minkowski. Peter Goddard (1998) (ed): Paul Dirac, The Man and His Work

[page 338]

How do I get a grip on this problem? Find its most sensitive spot and work on that and the answer might come.

Let us guess that it is all in the metric. The eigenvalues are real numbers on the diagonal of a self-adjoint operator. The metric of Minkowski space is the 1, 1, 1, -1 diagonal of the Minkowski operator. How do they relate? Maybe Dirac will tell us. The first round of this work, like the first round of QFT will be electrodynamic and the transform generator between electricity and magnetism is Maxwell's equations. So what does the Dirac equation have to say about the Maxwell equations, a linear equation versus a wave equation?.

This morning, going through my notes, I find that I have lost my transcripts of these notes from halfway through Thursday May 9 until Monday morning, evaporated in the cloud. Not a big loss, but irritating and seems to point to a delay of a few days before things are removed from my computer and written to the cloud.

Always looking on the bright side, this has led to a review of my story so far that I have begin to write an introduction to the book explaining that we must replace the omniscient creator with a evolving Universe which explains both the wonders and failures of our world and ourselves.

[page 339]

So have sidetracked into preparing a submission to Austin Macauley Publishers: front_05_ introduction tick and Chapter 23_matter_spirit tick.

Waiting for a way to understand special relativity in a Minkowski space made of photons and electrons.

How the zero bifurcation works in developing Minkowski space from Hilbert space. In Hilbert space there is no time or distance in the Minkowski sense. Once the Minkowski space is found, this Hilbert space condition can be established by the null geodesic which is in effect a piece of Hilbert space in the sense that it is outside space and time and this effect is achieved by the velocity of light which is in effect demanded to make the zero in the zero sum bifurcation work and the whole deal is a consequence of the existence of fermions and bosons: QED This is pretty much my original idea written on page 12 [of cognitive cosmology, file created 21 February 2022].

The anti-particle problem: an antiparticle, according to Feynman going backwards in time but causality demands that you cannot go backwards in time so [real] antiparticles cannot exist in Minkowski space (if Feynman is right). There must be something here. Quantum mechanics in Hilbert space can make anti-particles but not in Minkowski space [they are selected out]. What about PCT? It is a Hilbert space thing which cannot be realized in real space?

[page 340]

How do we work out the design entropy of quantum mechanics, ie how complex a program can it execute? By analogy [with classical computation] this relates to the size of the memory in a standard computer and we can divine computatins into look-up tables, like the world vis-a-vis google when it searches the whole memory for matching strings, usually we might guess of 10 x 256 bit characters. Another approach is computational, which means that the problem has symmetries which can be executed repeatedly by an algorithm and require far less storage than the total of their output. The Hilbert space we are using here has ℵ₀ basis states which we can represent as ℵ₀ roots of unity [dividing 2π into ℵ₀ "integers"] and these can be combined into vectors with continuous fractional proportions adding up to 1 [ie a|1> + b|2> + c|2> . . . . such that a² + b² + c² . . . = 1]. Is this ℵ₁?

The standard model seems to envisage Hilbert spaces with ℵ₁ basis state, but this seems unnecessary as long as we can use the cluster decomposition principle to break the Universe down into ℵ_n subsets with ℵ₀ basis states. The idea here may be to use Cantor's theorem in Minkowski space to establish communication networks of countable Hilbert spaces into transfinite networks with a potential for ℵ_n states and design entropy to match. This may be a bit esoteric to get into the book but I tried it with cognitive cosmology and it seemed to show promise. A lot of this depends on the properties of particles in Minkowski space [each of which we endow with a local Hilbert space to control their behaviour making them images of the initial singularity].

[page 341]

The exclusion principle arises from the wave function of spin ½ because when we swap them the wave functions are inverted and sum to zero so probability is zero - ie the exclusion principle is quantum mechanical, but arises in real space, so in a sense it is a self fulfilling prophecy. [If space is the product of the exclusion of fermions and it did not have the "plate trick" it ewould not exist.]

Thursday 16 May 2024

Auntie day. Night of weird dreams which seemed to add up to am injunction to have faith in my work. The idea that the Universe is divine is sound, but what bout my opinions on quantum field theory? I can see that it is badly flawed but am I right? Only way to tell is to go on until iI get to the other side of my dream and get some closure /one circut of the complex plane I am flying, a quantum of action.

Today must be the day I finish chapter 17, halfway through the month. Delusions of greatness tempered by fears of error. What if I am wrong and people believe me? Press on. There are a lot of good ideas in what I have written and I hope that I can have them all fitted together by the time the book comes out. Can we think that measurement causes spacetime, analogous to the meeting of unconscious strutures in the mind causes conscious ideas?

We reject the big bang in favour of the gentle origin of the Universe through Hilbert space and quantum mechanics as kinematic, abstract and formal processes that generate stationary eigenvalues that collaborate with naked gravitation to create potential and kinetic energy which realize dynamic fermions and bosons which go to create Minkowski space which then bifurcates into the tangent spaces of general relativity and this is the fundamental story of cc24 cosmic theology, making the Universe not just a pretty palace to glorify god with intelligent beings but divine itself. So a bit about Satan, Adam and Eve, free will and the fall comes at the end of the chapter, rubbishing the idea that the crappy little material universe was created for the glory of god [ie god making it to show off to themself]. Catholic Catechism, p1, s2, c1, a1, p4: III. "The world was created for the glory of God"

Chapter 24: Cosmic theology, a summary of my alternative to Catholic theology. Chapter 25 Insight and Belief emphasizes the cognitive approach to creation. Chapter 26 covers the modification to physics necessary to make it consistent with theology. Chapter 27 explores the consequences of this story and chapter 28 presents the picture compressed to a set of principles a la Aquinas, per se nota

This scheme finally brings me an ending. Now that the project is coming to an end I am showing a tendency to take pleasure in eating and I am growing fat, from 85 to 87 kg in the last few weeks. Something new to worry about.

Lust begins with image and possibility, the source of creation. First watch the birds and then imagine flying, and finally learn how to build a plane.

I still have not worked out how to get relativity back into physics although I have constructed a vague tale about how to construct the Minkowski metric out of fermions and bosons. The general idea, I think, is that a fermion is a fermion and a boson is a boson regardless of their energy, so that exchanges of energy play no role in the underlying Hilbert space [where real energy does not exist, only kinematic time] . Sleep now and write 24.5 on Galileo, Einstein and Dirac when I wake up.

[page 344]

One of the principal things about entering the Dominican Order [is] that it is an imperialistic Order whose essential requirement was that I become a non-person, abandoning my life to god, in effect giving up my humanity [through poverty, renouncing property, chastity, renouncing progeny and obedience renouncing self-determination, thus becoming a kinematic puppet]. The principal requirement of my new god is that I am part of god, not annihilated by god, and this change is equivalent to creating isolated particles into coherent space so that I should be able to use a cognitive understanding of the demolition of imperialism and the creation of individual humanity as the quantum creation of spacetime understood, using the principle of symmetry with respect to complexity, at the same time understanding Maxwell's equations and the electromagnetic properties of space and accounting for the fact that I am an electrodynamic entity. This is the longest shot yet and I must pull it off to be able to write 24.5 The origin of the velocity of light, which is the quadratic mapping of space and time, as Minkowski said ["Thus the essence of this postulate may be clothed mathematically in a very pregnant manner in the mystic formula

3 . 10⁵km = √ -1 seconds]

Maybe I have reached my personal pons asinorum

Dirac, in Pais, in Goddard page 36: ' Hopes are always accompanied by fears and in scientific research the fears are likely to become dominant'.

I am bogged by trying to go too far off the beaten track, trying to explain things for which there is currently no explanation, such as a backstory for the early days of the

[page 345]

Universe from the initial singularity told with my idea of populating naked gravitation with kinematic Hilbert space snd quantum mechanics and then creating particles by bifurcating gravitation, very nice. The trouble comes when I try to explain the quantum creation of Minkowski space. In the standard model they just plonk Hilbert space on top of an already existing Minkowski space, a flat tangent space to Einstein gravitation. As with the particles, we just take them as given and try to make a theory to explain [their interactions] rather than my inverse (and perhaps perverse approach) trying to explain them from first principles of my own invention, all this because I am looking for a logical and cognitive way for the initial singularity to grow into a Universe by quantum computation and communication. Maybe I am underestimating the universality of quantum theory and I could just treat it like Turing theory and say the Universe has worked out a way to make spacetime, QCD and everything else out of Hilbert space because it is universal and start quoting universal operators out of Nielsen and Huang. A bit like saying Newtonian physics tells us how to get astronauts to the Moon but we do not know how to do it yet. The evolutionary paradigm that says everything comes from a structureless initial singularity can cover all these bases and being a theologian I do not have to come up with the answers.

[page 346]

So do not bother to knock QFT any more, just grow the Universe out of the Hilbert vacuum by one to one communication, starting in the morning.
