What is my position and how can I justify it? See Saturday 20 December. Theology (Christianity) has built an enormous structure of Dogma on interpretations of the Bible from the creation to the last days, very little of which is credible beyond Love God, love your neighbour. The central idea, that the crucifixion of Jesus has cosmic significance, is not credible, although subject to a claim of infallibility.
Physics is in a similar boat with continuity, renormalization and infinity, building a complex story out of the simple foundation of quantum theory by de Broglie and von Neumann.
To replace these field theoretical ideas I need to
[page 196]
understand them in the first place, although they do not make sense to me. Their fundamental claim to fame is their precision of mathematical computation, which appears to depend heavily on Feynman’s path integral and the diagrammatic application of the path integral which seems to have strayed a long way from the quantum of action into very complex mathematics. My principal difficulty, I feel, is that if we see the universal process as quantum logic, what has energy, which is really [just] the rate of processing, got to do with it?
Dirac, commenting on field theory in the last published paper of his life, writes:
The rules of renormalization give surprisingly, excessively good agreement with experiments. Most physicists say that these working rules are, therefore correct. I feel that that is not an adequate reason. Just because the results happen to be in agreement with observation does not prove that the theory is correct.Louis de Broglie (1929): Nobel Lecture: The Wave Nature of the Electron, John von Neumann (2018): Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Peter Goddard et al. (1998): Paul Dirac, The Man and His Work
So what is my set of principles?
1. Every event at the fundamental level involves one quantum of action that the quantum theory explains as an ‘act’ by a self-adjoint or hermitian operator [which identifies an eigenvector with a real eigenvalue]. Self-adjoint operator - Wikipedia2. In the real [Minkowski] world, an observation of a particle or event is the sum of a large number of operations involving different operators of different probabilities (frequencies) which we compute by the Born rule, whose application is guided by Feynman diagrams. [The output of the Born rule is a complex measure of the “distance” between two states which must be squared to get a real probability of the connection of the two states]. Feynman diagram - Wikipedia, Born rule - Wikipedia
3. Renormalization is unnecessary because continuity, differentiation and integration have nothing to do with pure quantum mechanics in the initial singularity. All the interactions are discrete and their integrated effect is a function of their probabilities associated with the relevant legs of the Feynman diagrams. Martinus Veltman (1994): Diagrammatica: The Path to the Feynman Rules
[page 197]
4. The finer points of quantum mechanics such as the Lamb shift which involve virtual particles off the mass shell, which is a concept closely related to the idea that Minkowski space constrains quantum space, where as in my simple model Minkowski space is a consequence of the creation of fermions and bosons [selected by quantum mechanics from the random Hilbert space formed in the initial singularity]. [These particles we see as created in pairs by 1 quantum of action stationary at zero as measured by a Lagrangian which incorporates them both. [This stationary Lagrangian is a product of the zero sum bifurcation of gravitation to create the kinetic and potential energy necessary to realize physical particles].
These four points express my theory of principle which basically says quantum logic is a theory of hermitian operators which represents the zero-sum superposition of quantum vectors. This discussion could become the prolegomenon to l4l_e02_Justice which lies at the heart of quantum mechanics and is carried to us by symmetry with respect to complexity.

Write to NYT suggesting a review of my book. Snooze and then work on cl4l05_particles with a view to condensing fermions snd bosons into one page since they may be created simultaneously by another zero sum bifurcation in 2D Hilbert space. The main problem being how to account for particle masses.
[page 198]Introduce my book on Patreon.
We are changing the universe from a structureless gravitational continuum to a giant computation of discrete actions each represented as a vector (= text, song, book, plan) in abstract Hilbert space capable of superposition like photons, but unlike fermions which may communicate by sharing photons. Two fermions maintain their independence by sharing a photon which accounts for the phase difference between them.

Post books to Anita Pusari, Ros Sare and Sabrina Carpenter. [Carpenter’s came back, sent to agent address].
The infinities that appear in QED are infinities of energy which imply infinite rates of action in the quantum regime. All these problems seem to arise from the introduction of Minkowski space into particle physics which as I say so often is putting the cart before the horse. [The high energy comes from high momentum which comes from [mis]applying the “uncertainty principle” in Minkowski space where Δp . Δx ≈ ℏ where p goes infinite when x goes zero.]
Tomonaga reports months long computations in the process of trying to sort out the infinities in electromagnetism which totally contradicts the heuristic of simplicity which I love.
Tomonaga writes:
However the mass and charge observed in experiments are not the original mass and charge, but the mass and charge as modified by field reactions, and they are finite. When a theory is
[page 199]
incompetent in part it is common procedure to rely on experiment for that part. This procedures called renormalization of mass and charge, and our method has brought the possibility that the theory will lead to finite results by renormalization even if it contains defects. Sin-Itiro Tomonaga (1965): Nobel Lecture: Development of Quantum Electrodynamics: Personal recollections
[We have solved the field reaction problem by deleting the fields and leaving it to quantum mechanics to create the genes of the world in the form of complex vectors, identical formally to DNA/RNA molecule.]

Email ‘Fair Warning’ to Clay Mathematics Institute: president@claymath.org
Dear M President, I am neither a mathematician nor a physicist but an amateur theologian trained in the Dominican Order in the 1960s and subsequently expelled by the Provincial of the Australian Province of the Order for heresy.I have purchased and studied Carlson 2006 The Millennium Prize Problems and am quite familiar with its contents, including the competition rules.
I have no intention of entering a submission for one your million dollar prizes. My intervention here is pro bono.
I have recently published a book, Cognitive Cosmogenesis: a Systematic Integration of Physics and Theology (Nicholls 2025, ISBN 978 103 588 8030) which documents the above mentioned heresy in detail: that is to make theology a real science we must postulate that the universe is divine.
In the course of this book I comment on QFT and suggest that is has been mistaken from the beginning since it builds Hilbert space and quantum mechanics in Minkowski space (Streater & Wightman 2000, p 96). This makes Hilbert space subject to Lorentz transformation, destroying its linearity (Veltman Diagrammatica 1994 page 20). This decision renders quantum field theory problematic and superfluous since the assumption of real mathematical infinity in nature and the consequent need for renormalization are counterfactual.
The alternative proposed is to situate Hilbert space in an initial singularity which I model on the works of the medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) and Albert Einstein. This enables the deployment of the full uncompromised computational power of linear quantum mechanics for a description of the universe (see eg Nielsen and Chuang 2016). From such a software point of view the methodology of QCD seems needlessly complicated.
In sum, all the details of the statement of the Quantum Yang Mills Theory Problem may be mistaken and any valid solution to the problem must remove the assumptions of continuity and determinism in nature which stymied Einstein and accept that quantum mechanics is primarily a discrete logical unitary discipline closely related to Shannon’s mathematical theory of communication.
I append a brief summary of the central idea of my book designed to save reviewers from reading the whole book.

What is the point of cl4l06_fermions? Obviously we start with the Dirac equation and exploit its peculiar origin in the Schrödinger equation and examine what it would look like in pure quantum mechanics without Minkowski space. Dirac equation in the algebra of physical space - Wikipedia

Gravitation is the local source of energy at all scales from the absorption and emission of photons to supernovas and black holes and it maintains the precision of zerosum bifurcation at every point.
The living physical observable reality of the universe is the Bible in the divine universe, the actual voice of god that we experience at every moment of our lived from extreme pain and death to love and the exquisite pleasures associated with reproduction and the maintenance of our species.
Where am I stuck? On the qubit ψ = α|fermion⟩ + β|boson⟩, given that all these symbols are formed in pairs like a baby and a language.
Are the hadrons their own little closed spaces? What has triplicity got to do with it. Have I hit a wall??
[page 202]
Quantum mechanics can do it with superposition. Is a Hadron a closed superposition? A set of vectors that add up to 1, 0? ie a mini universe, proton ≡ eternity ≡ zero energy?

Lust-for-life, matching my passions to the passions of the Universe.Achieving tranquillity by superposition, in some way the cosmic essence of quantum mechanics. The universal peace of finding the complimentary dual which comes most symbolically and most clearly through music and orgasm, bolero and the big bang, tribadism and tranquility. So there is a direct line from my childhood masturbation via the Catholic Church, forbidden fruit, the route to heaven by supererogation, the Dominican Order, Thomas Aquinas and Cognitive Cosmogenesis, a systematic integration of physics and theology, divine lust, from gravitation through potential and kinesis to tranquillity, ultimately the salvation of love from the Trumpian bastardization of pornography, another theological vice like genocide in the cause of divine tranquility, the irresistible attractions of the big bang and thermonuclear warfare all encapsulated in the clitoral drive to reproduce, a long saga encapsulated by Dirac in superposition and linear algebra, whence I am now trying to distil the true story of quantum chromodynamics and the eternal life of the proton achieved by the eternal stability of gravitation. So the big question: is a hadron a black hole, and why are these women wrestling so happily and vigorously, naked for orgasm and why
[page 202]
has an organization like the Roman Catholic Church gone to so much effort to block this channel by identifying death by torture with salvation, the ultimate imperial disease. There is something here to be captured in the sequel to my book, what have I learned that I can express – gravity – stability – Hamilton’s principle – why can energy be captured in a stable particle, ie what is the lesson of Dirac’s torturous path to the electron via gamma matrices, ie the elimination of the vestigia of quadracity?
A Christmas prayer, a baby born to a virgin to be tortured to death to save us. How kinky is the Catholic Church, the exploiter of the forbidden fruit. Have you ever wondered how totally fucked up Christianity, the child of Ancient Egypt, actually is? How the Catholic Church has turned the celebration of love and reproduction into pornography, disrespect and genocide? Cognitive cosmology is a first step toward digging ourselves out of this hole, a fitting prelude to the life of Rosalie Nicholls / Trenerry, recently deceased. Now, to fix my book eternally in the global consciousness, I have to chart the course from gravitation to the proton starting [perhaps] with Dirac, spacetime and the electron. I know that it is there: The Egyptian / Catholic history of salvation has totally aborted it by the story of Pharaohonic imperialism that began perhaps with metal edged weapons and the domestication of ungulates.
Now to summarize all this in a tweet illustrated by
[page 203]
my book. How twisted is the Catholic Church history of salvation? Did it originate in imperial Egypt. What is the real history of the story encapsulated in the monumental architecture of Egypt?
A first step is to overcome the shame built into me by my Catholic upbringing implying the sinfulness of sexuality, the forbidden fruit to be enjoyed only in pornography and the disrespect of women implicit in Donald Trump and [so many other men].
Try the tweet again: The Roman Catholic history of salvatin is a twisted mess. [Their] God created us doomed to failure by Satan and destroyed the new world in punishment. They sent their Son to be born on Christmas day to be tortured to death to save us. A completely stupid derivative of 5000 year old Egyptian imperialism [296 characters].
A morning of explosive pleasure, blowing myself out of the hole created for me by the Nicene creed and all the doctrinal rubbish that the imperial Roman Catholic Church has built on it. Read all about my discovery in Cognitive Cosmogenesis. Now cleared to go ahead with cl4l06_fermions. Now I have begun to capture this new insight in words, I can relax and slowly write it all out along the path Maxwell, Einstein, Minkowski, Planck, Schrödinger, Dirac, QED, which was totally messed up by the followers of Einstein who built quantum mechanics in Minkowski space where it both explains and is screwed up by Minkowski space which destroys the linearity of QM only saved by Dirac’s ad hocery
[page 204]
As you should all know by now, Dirac saved quantum mechanics by coming in through the back door through Schrödinger’s equatinb but you did not listen and went ahead to create the fiction known as QFT by writing Hilbert space in Minkowski space and destroying the linearity of Dirac with the Lorentz transformation. So we fix that error, build quantum mechanics in the initial singularity where it can let loose its full power by creating stationary Lagrangians by superposing a countably infinite vocabulary of base states.
Genocide, pornography and misogyny and are all theological creations by an entitled priesthood who feel that they have god on their side, a concept that may have originated in many places and times, including Egypt in 3000 bce and the US when it developed nuclear weapons and passed on the idea to their friends and enemies. We can probably trace the origin of this imperialism down to the origin of high tech weapons which enable a few people to control many by murder and enslavement.

For the rest of this page and on pages 205 to the first part of page 208 I have written a long commentary on the first part of this video which is no longer relevant to me since I have ejected quantum field theory so I pass over it and continue with the quantum mechanical description of inertial symmetry arising from the fact that quantum mechanics is completely independent of Minkowski spacetime.
[page 205]
Video; 00:06:30 Why is electromagnetism a thing?
00:07:05: Q. Gauge theory [phase theory] provides a pretty good answer. A. Because the Dirac Field has local U(1) symetry. This explains
Why matter and antimatter have opposite charge
Why the photon is massless wiith a 4D wave function
Why electric field is a 3D vector
Why magnetic field is a 3D pseudovector
Why EM fields interact
Derivative of Maxwell; Gauss + Faraday + Ampere + Maxwell’s addition
Lorentz force law and conservation of charge.

video 00:19:20 Solve Dirac equation for particle at rest gives us eletcron and positron spin up and spin down.
[page 207]
video 00:48:00 4 gradient of θ field changes 4-momentum of particle, time and energy. In other words, in our model energy is flowing in and out of gravitation while remaining zero-enegy since potential ≡ kinetic, ie to and from particles. But in electron we are thinking about kinetic energy and in “field” we are talking about potential energy (see pendulum, harmonic oscillator).
00:52:00 Dirac field per se does not have local phase symmetry because phase gradients appear to affect momentum and energy so we check with the Lagrangian which is a function of energy in Minkowski space.
[page 208]
Video 00:85:00: So taking U(1) symmetry as starting point we get 6 EM dimensions, photon field has 6 degrees of freedom which which do not disrupt local phase symmetry.
00:88:00 Use 6 ways to derive Maxwell’s equations.
What we are looking for in all this talk is a set of hermitian operstors in Hilbert space which yield electromagnetism in Minkowski space, in paticular Maxwell’s equations,
All we need to get for 3D space is the exclusion principle and this needs to be prior to the Dirac equation to give 4D from which we derive Minkowski = 3D electron [fermion] + 1D photon [boson].

Now we come to the crunch. Behiel assumes the existence of the Minkowski space, derives the Dirac equation within it by taking the square root of the Klein-Gordon equation, goes on to solve the Dirac equation for a stationary particle, assumes that this represents a Dirac equation throughout space time and assumes that the equation represents particles with wave functions differing in space and time, applies a Lagrangian to see if the picture is real, sees that it not so goes on to derive the electric and magnetic fields, attributed to a massless photon to get the Lagrangian right so proving that a photon is necessary and goes on to derive the Maxwell’s equations in Minkowski space. [This is a very standard story].
Here we think this story is all too complex for a fledgeling universe that at this point is an initial singularity, a randomly generated Hilbert space and a quantum superposition process that selects real eigenvalues. How do we account for the observed features of the universe, in fact replacing the whole Yang-Mills story with the Millennium Prize book with something entirely new and plausible. How do we start? I am coming up against the magnitude of that what I am trying to achieve.
[page 210]
We are deep underground here trying to generate an alternative to Yang-Mills and I feel a little desperate having wandered off into a new part of the jungle but the only thing to do is to keep an eye on the data which is in effect the end of the tunnel and try to arrive at a simple, linear, quantum mechanical superposition which comes up from below to explain the quadratic nature of Minkowski space which has a lot to do with the Pythagorean theorem which appears in the complex arithmetic of quantum mechanics as normalization and unitarity which we might see as a path to quantum mechanics but not via the Lorentz transformation and Minkowski space but via stationarity, zero sum bifurcation and the quantum world as the source of the quantum intelligence of quantum mechanics. The ideas are flowing and the discussion of Lorentz invariance in cl4l06_fermions [is helpful]. At the moment, with Rosalie dead, my book published and the problem of Yang-Mills on my mind I am goingg to get on the bus and go down to Glenelg beach for a restful walk.
The initial singularity removes the 4D quadratic problem from quantum mechanics and eliminates the need for Dirac, Klein-Gordon and Schrödinger equations and gives a way to create electrons from pure quantum superposition and then we find a way for electrons to communicate through photons, bringing us to the exclusion principle, 4D spacetime, Dirac equation, SU(2) etc all coming up from quantum mechanics rather than down from [classical] Minkowski space. Take the phone to the beach and write notes.
For the record, I copy the section of cl4l06_fermions on inertial symmetry and quantum mechanics before I rewrite it all:
6.3 Elementary physics: fields or particles?
We live and experience the world in Minkowski space, the 4D spacetime first discovered by Albert Einstein in 1905. He found this space by studying the propagation of light using Maxwell’s equations. It was provided with a clear mathematical definition by Herman Minkowski in 1908. Albert Einstein (1905): On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia
Einstein and Minkowski’s work partially explains the origin of the Lorentz transformations which connect observations between entities in inertial relative motion. Symmetries such as this arise in physics because natural “laws” (ie symmetries) are naturally enforced and so they are never broken, nothing unlawful ever happens, there is no cause and effect to be explained. Unfortunately Einstein basically rejected quantum mechanics so he was not in a position to see the real origin of inertial symmetry. Albert Einstein (1933): Herbert Spencer Lecture 1933: On the Method of Theoretical Physics
Einstein’s magnificent success with his mathematical theory of general relativity developed in continuous topological space using Gaussian coordinates and Riemann’s generalization of Gausse’s Theorema Egregium blinded the physics community to the fact that Minkowski space has a structure that is not continuous in the way we assume in Riemann’s calculus. It is pixellated by the elementary fermions that give it its metric structure as we see in the “uncertainty principle” ΔE.Δt ≈ Δx.Δp ≈ ℏ. Einstein's achievement in general relativity was to render the Minkowski metric meaningless as he emphasizes in the conclusion to his 1915 Paper:
The postulate of relativity in its most general formulation (which makes space-time coordinates into physically meaningless parameters) leads with compelling necessity to a very specific theory of gravitation that also explains the movement of the perihelion of Mercury.Albert Einstein (1915): The Field Equations of Gravitation, Theorema Egregium - Wikpedia, Riemannian geometry - WikipediaThis mistake has propagated to the creation of quantum field theory which has led to physicists writing Hilbert space and quantum mechanics on Minkowski space where its linearity is destroyed by the inappropriate application of the Lorentz transformation.
The need for the Lorentz transformation in Minkowski space arises specifically from the fact that there is no space and time in quantum mechanics which is the source of inertial space, so since quantum mechanics is the underlying source of all structure in the universe, every point in inertial space is identical from a quantum mechanical point of view and the role of the Lorentz transformation is to preserve this symmetry.
Dirac created his equation by undoing the distinct space and time structures implicit in the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation by taking the square root of the quadratic momentum operator in that equation using the gamma matrices to eliminate the resulting cross terms. The resulting equation honours the relativistic equivalence of space and time. This ad hoc fix reveals some remarkable natural symmetries of electrodynamics, but it is defective because it is based on a false premiss. So we must now recover the reality, abandon the quantum field theory based continuity and explain the quantum mechanical origin of Minkowski space and the slightly unexpected result that Maxwell’s equations are quantum mechanically realistic.
