Back to the physics story, pp 234, 241.
Modern physics began with Planck’s discovery in 1900 that radiation is emitted in discrete quanta which Einstein realized in 1905 were the real particles which explains the photoelectric effect and which were ultimately identified as photons. There followed about
[page 261a]
30 years of laboratory and theoretical work which culminated in 1932 with the publication of John Von Neumann’s Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics. Von Neumann notes that in 1925 “it was clear beyond doubt that all elementary processes . . . obey the ‘discontinuous’ laws of quanta”.
“What was fundamentally of greater significance was that the general opinion in theoretical physics had accepted the idea that the principle of continuity (natura non facit saltus) prevailing in the perceived macroscopic world is merely simulated by an averaging process in a world which in truth ia discontinuous in its very nature. John von Neumann (2018): Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
Meanwhile, in the 19th century background mathematicians had been devoting enormous effort, through the study of Fourier transformations of functions, to perfecting the ideas of continuity and the differential calculus (“the method of fluxions”) invented by Isaac Newton, This led, among many other things, to Cantor’s invention of transfinite numbers and the emergence of mathematical paradoxes which greatly stressed the discipline. The source of the paradoxes was diagnosed to be the ambiguities of natural language and led to a progrsm to express mathamatics in pure logic which began with Whitehead and Russell’s Principia Mathematica (1910). Newton (1736, 2018): Treatise of the Method of Fluxions and Infinite Series, With its Application to the Geometry of Curve Lines. By Sir Isaac Newton: Translated From the Latin Original not yet Published, Alfred North Whitehead & Bertrand Russell (1903): Principia Mathematica David Hilbert joined this quest and proposed that ideally mathematics would be consistent, complete and computable. In 1932 Kurt Gödel destroyed Hilbert’s idea by showing, using the logical approach of Whitehead and Russell, that mathematics is incomplete.[page 261b]
Alan Turing followed in 1936 with a proof that mathematics in incomputable. One valuable but problematic product of nineteenth century mathematics was Cantor’s idea of transfinite numbers which shows the logical foundation of the increase of entropy based on permutation and combination.
The third major ingredients in modern physics are Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity which embedded the notions of determinism and continuous fields into physics.
I was born in 1945 a few days before my father, a newly graduated doctor then in the Australian Army, went to Bougainville to repel a possible Japanese invasion. He was liberated from this terrible task by the destruction of two Japanses cities with nuclear weapons. As I grew up, he suggested I might like to be a nuclear physicist. My mother, also a doctor, was a devout Catholic. I had a Catholic education and, as seemed natural at the time, I entered the Australian province of the Dominican order to be trained as a priest as soon as I turned 18.The Second Vatican Council was under way at the time and there was a call for ideas. Many Dominican theologians were advisors to the Council. I had by then fallen in love with the work of Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). The European universities were then becoming aware of the Greek classics that had been preserved in the eastern Roman Empire and studied extensively by Muslim theologians. Aquinas, working from Latin translations of Arabic commentaries and Aristotle's Greek works spent his lifetime adapting Christian belief to Aristotle's science.
Aristotle is by now about 2400 years out of date. I suggested to my superiors that the Council could repeat Aquinas's project, using modern science in the place of Aristotle. Since science is based on observation, this plan implied that I thought that God is visible. This was (and is) a heresy in the Catholic Church which demands complete infallibe control of its visions of the imaginary God it inherited from ancient Egypt via the Hebrew Bible. I was expelled from the Order and went back to real life. Now, sixty years later, I have published my idea in Cognitive Cosmogenesis, a systematic integration of physics and theology. I offer my book as a foundation for a new global scientific theology. Jeffrey Nicholls (2025): Cognitive Cosmogenesis: A systematic unification of physics and theology

‘Invasion day’ when the empire met the indigenous population of Australia and nearly eliminated them with imported disease, exploitation, repression and murder often motivated by a religious desire to convert pagans to the true faith and the belief that white people were superior to black. A combination of ancient and painful interfaces that have very slowly evolved to some sort of understanding. Unfortunately religious beliefs have blinded us to the reality of the divine world and there are centuries of work ahead of us to learn to be at home in the world rather than [imagining ourselves as] temporary pilgrims [on trial] in a damaged word destined for better things in a next life, an idea deeply printed into the minds of kings 5000 years ago, and implicit in many modern and widespread theologies. My mission: to contribute to changing this mental state in everyone in the world by stressing the ontological role of music and pleasure implicit in quantum mechanics, my friend. My morning prqyer, directly contrary to my life in the Dominican Order. Dominican Order - Wikipedia
Gravitation is the ultimate community of code free communication.
As the pendulum swings, the mass energy of the swinging bob rises and falls as the inverse of its potential energy. If I perform physical act my mass does not change as I transform the chemical potential energy in my body to the kinetic energy of my motion. Because gravitation is continuous this identity operates at all scales down to fractions of quanta represented by lower frequencies, E = hf

I have given up on the old 4T disc drive and installed new SSD, the loss of data seems minimal and once I have adequate backups I will empty the old computer, reconstruct the new one in it, put the reconstructed version back in the new one and get the footnoting working again and settle back to work.
1 quantum of action = 1 logical action = 1 NOT, or is it 1 NOTNOT to come back to the beginning? Zero sum bifurcation implies conservation of energy , kinetic forward in time, potential backwards = anti-forward, equivalent to time going backwards? And what does all this say about spinors, which must, like action, also be coupled to logic?
Problem: does mass of fermion = energy of photon Δ mass e− = Δ mass γ?

The pendulum (does it explain the origin of mass in the universe through the often quoted zero sum bifurcation of the initial symmetry? Maybe no. We like the energy and the mass of the universe to stay forever zero but the formation of structure arises from bifurcation into potential which acts as the inverse of kinetic, a very philosophical question)

Do I need to do a special section about bifurcation and entropy increase? Yes, otherwise how do we get from eternal (ie static) to 10100 quantum operations per second? Universe - Wikipedia
Differentiation from field theory:
1. Hilbert [space] creates itself in the singularity rather than been written in Minkowski [a result of fixed point theorems].
[page 265]
QFT assumes fields are primordial rather like Minkowski space.
2. Energy comes from gravitation not from fluctuations which activate fields.
3. Hilbert space is in the fundamental symmetry so it is not subject to Lorentz transformation
4. Minkowski space is created by bosons and fermions and not vice versa. This accounts for the pixellation of Minkowski space. The increase in entropy is achieved by the random creation of bases for Hilbert space and since the formal system is static without energy we can expect these states to be eternal like the persons of the Trinity, and given fact that the mappings of this singularity onto itself may be computable, we can expect it to have a countable infinity of dimensions. [These] are naturally superposed and quantum theory may select a certain set of hermitian operators which may correspond to the set of elementary particles [this idea is consistent with the observation that no matter how we collide particles with one another we always get the same set of elementary particles among the debris].
5. Instead of using a set of established fields as QFT does, [we take evolution back to the beginning] and allow QM to make its own particles. Some will be selected and reproduce and others will not.
6. Then we introduce the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics made stable by the zero sum bifurcation which is our source of energy modelled on the pendulum. [This equivalence of potential and kinetic energy always guarantees a Lagrangian stable at T - V equals zero.] [See page 264]
7. The available number of [different atomic elements] is constrained by stable structures and we might suggest a similar reason for the set of elementary particles.
[page 266]
8. Fermions and bosons are born in pairs, one a person, the other a language. The energy necessary for this is bespoken at the time of formation, ie an electron and an associated photon. [The electron has a fixed structural energy, photons may have any energy at all, and if sufficiently energetic may decay into fermion, obeying some species of zero sum bifurcation for the conservation of charge etc.
Where is this essay going? Working from justice at the elementary level via symmetry with respect to complexity to justice at every level.
Foundations of Physics article. Quantum field theory is a comedy of errors. Should have written this in the blurb.
A genocidal comedy of errors.
I am very happy with my book but I despair somewhat. It is the result of 60 years spent drilling and blasting through hard intellectul rock and I will be very surprised if I ever meet anyone who understands the path I have taken.

The dream run on the market has slowed down and I more less broke even over the last two days since the public holiday Monday. Maybe quite good given the chaos in global markets produced by the Trump lunatic. I now have enough to cover my teeth.
To get a new idea we have to randomize because Laplace’s deterministic demon never comes up with anything that is not logically implied by the past.
[page 67]
An important question, if money is analogous to energy, is why inflation is continuous between 2-3% pa even in well managed economies, rather than zero as we would expect if it were precisely analogous to energy; and what has this go to do with the relationship between energy and justice? [maybe inflation is a residual injustice, inverse to the [capitalist] payment of interest. Piketty says somewhere that 3% is a pretty stable long term return on investment which may reflect the productivity of capital. Thomas Piketty (2014): Capital in the Twenty-First Century]

Computer woes nearly over. Must now empty icloud into Macbook 2011.
Meanwhile keep consolidating cognitive cosmogenesis in lust-4-life, an antidote to my ‘imposter syndrome’ and continue to send copies of my book to likely readers.
The amount of energy traded in a zero sum bifurcation is a function of the ‘force’ involved in the operation. So the gravitational energy involved in a swinging pendulum is relatively small at the elementary level compared to an electrodynamic or strong force oscillator, and in the case of the strong force it appears to be comparable to the masses of the [fermi] particles which is in some way related to the phenomenon of confinement.
Letter to a physics department re theological modifications to physics (to be sent with copies of book and also copy of the article to Foundations of Physics. Ambition surges again. Like Mr Trump I am running for a Nobel Prize and 1000 k$ from Clay and co.

l4l_e03_physical_theology: The purpose of this articles is to create a connection between physics and theology with a view to proposing a scientific theology. We proceed in two steps:
First we establish a connection between Shannon’s mathematical theory of communication and von Neumann’s equivalence between matrix and wave mechanic in his book [built around unitarity]. John von Neumann (2018): Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
Second we explore the transmission of Aristotle’s proto-science via Muslim theologians in the old Eastern Roman Empire to the new Universities in Europe where Thomas Aquinas and his contemporaries adapted Christian doctrine to Aristotelian philosophy.

1, Identity of communication theory (Shannon) and (von Numann): the [physical universe is the new [“printed”] Bible.
2. Independence and agency of particles, from elementary to universe.
3. Death of field theory by shifting Hilbert space to initia singularity.

4. Energy increase by zero-sum bifurcation, beginning with Hilbert space and random search for new structures from fermions and bosons to rabbits via variation and selection, all undertaken by quantum mechanics.
5. Linearity and conversational nature of quantum mechanics.
6. Precision of hermitian operators.
Input to l4l_e03_physical_theology is a summary of my program to Foundations of Physics article page 260 to submit with copy of book to Antony Eagle and Physics Dept, in search of Nobel Prize [to propagate the new theology for someone].
7 = 3: Dismissal of QFT by moving QM to initial singularity where it can exercise its full creative power without being crippled by Lorentz transformations, coupled to discussion of QM as the symmetry and creating the ‘need’ for Lorentz transformation since (?) light (massless bosons) moves outside (= prior to) space.
I have the ideas but the words to express them clearly and succinctly are hard to come by and I can use mathematics to Frontiers. The fundamental variation (7 above) is the relocation of QM to the initial singularity, built on Augustine’s Trinity [a version of fixed point theory].
Hypothetical fictions are made ‘scientifiic’ by people observing their own mental states which are just as powerful to them as the instrumental observations of Galileo. So we describe Galileo in terms of a paradigm changes in human understanding which failed in Lonergan but comes to fruition in physical theology
[page 270
where the symbolic transition from dream to reality is symbolized by the quantum transition from invisible complexity to real eigenvalues derived from real eigenfunctions represented by characteristic equations with real roots which symbolize the zero sum complexification. Bernard Lonergan (1992): Insight: A Study of Human Understanding (Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan : Volume 3)
So in my theological saga I need to mention Lonergan’s method in theology and his treatise Insight and my conclusion that the transcendent world is effectively empty [and identical to God and the initial singularity] although it is the source of the random complex fantasies that make us tick.
Descartes observation that clear and distinct ideas are the foundation of knowledge is analogous to the function of hermitian operators in producing clear ands distinct eigenfunctions.
So Foundation essay begins with this story at the interface between myth and reality, fiction and science in a completely [cognitive] cosmogenic world. These dreams make me very happy but my disappointment arises because nobody listens, although the greatest break in my life arose when the Dominican Order and Lawrence Peter (Patrick?) Fitzgerald listened to me closely enough to throw me out.
Things continue to go well but slowly and my book has laid down a pad upon which to build an extended version of the essay I am trying to write now, which I would like to finish by the end of February to begin seriously marketing my book with a copy to the Nobel Committee, a la Trump, ride roughly over everything because one is entitled, the most powerful human trait, leading to royalty.
The interface between dream and reality is described very succinctly by QM, so we begin essay with quantum mechanics as an epistemological paradigm.

Emphasize the role of theology and religion in giving meaning to life for a large fraction of the population.
We may think of the initial singularity as a venue for the construction [and materialization] of Hilbert’s formal mathematics. Richard Zach (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy): Hilbert's Program
Superposition is essentially a bosonic operation which cannot be done with fermions. Nevertheless DNA achieves superposition by splitting into single strands which can then link with new partners. Is the information in fermions a zero sum bifurcation and the exclusion principle a ‘closure’ of this bifurcation by the addition of the inverse wave function which yield a probability of zero for the superposition, ie exclusion? The bifurcation into spin up and spin down creates a mathematical model for exclusion, but is there some reality behind this, ie what is the reality coupled to the mathematical abstraction?
Our simple model goes well:
1. Singularity
2. Augustine, reflection, fixed point theory, real forms
3. Superposition, self adjoint operators, real forms (characteristic polynomial)
4. Zero sum bifurcation of gravitation, particles, fermion and boson
5. Minkowski space metric, mass shell, built on underlyingsace-time free quantum theory, ie emergence of particles → Minkowski → Lorentz.
