Quantocracy part I finishes with the fermion-boson qubit. Now we go on with the fundamental particles to construct the world we observe in Minkowski space, beginning with the eternal proton and the hadrons and the application of speical relativity, SLAC, etc to explore the interior of the proton, using this to discuss a consistent stable structure of form, agency and justice rooted in gravitation and the conservation of energy and the postulate consistency and symmetry with respect to complexity making reference to the Chinese paper and the omission of democracy and the violent evil of imperialism.

We now go in the opposite direction via Dirac’s equation to the quantum mechanics underlying Minkowski space and we come across antimatter and spinors describing the properties of 3 space without really getting to photons except by developing Behiel’s electrodynamics which does not really have [anything[ to say about the actual origin of the metric in massless bosons [and] Minkowski space except its mathematical embodiment in covariant and contravariant vectors and the mathematical form of the metric. there is something missing in this electro magnetism as a gauge theory approach of Behiel’s in that it dos not explain the relationship of space and time. Dirac equation - Wikipedia, Richard Behiel: Electromagnetism as a gauge theory
So what’s the plan? Optimize activity over some time frame.
[page 198]
The first question that springs to mind is the role of the gamma matrices in stripping down the Schrödinger equation to make it relativistically palatable which raises an entropy question again, since the complexity of Minkowski space suggests that a new symmetry is broken to account for the greater apparent entropy of spacetime. Back to Cognitive cosmology page 20;space-time—the cosmic memory and operating system which somehow slipped out of view in the transformation to “Cognitive cosmogenesis: on moving theology to natural science”.
Some thinking to do here and we probably need to find another symmetry break to explain the massive multiplication of elementary particles brought about by realization [materialization] and individuation in spacetime, like multiplying the number of angels in each species by giving them bodies, another hint from Thomas. We ask google who had this idea and it says Thomas. Ask if Islamic theologians thought this [no answer]. Aquinas, Summa I, 50, 4: Is every angel a different species?

A slogan: the universe is the indigenous Bible. The central point of the bible is love god (the whole) love your neighbour (fellow particle) and we understand love to be equivalent to communication, explicating the whole system as discrete individuals (fermions) and messages (bosons) and interpreting the participants as the creators of spacetime, the global playing field bounded by consistency. From this position of ‘principle’ we drive the output of quantocracy - freedom, agency and justice. A story in the background of lust-for-life, logically based on moral-algebra. This all
[page 199]
sounds good to me. Is it true, i.e. does it work? our fundamental law (the antithesis of imperialism) is you shall not kill. implemented, we would like to think, in protons. A primary question is the role of Minkowski space on the eternity of protons the structural l0gic of fermions and bosons, in particular quarks and gluons. What are the conditions of fermion / boson interaction that establish the metric of Minkowski space? Is this the question, the turning point in NY_quantum_symmetry_june2026?
The practical question is how do we deal with killers? control? rehabilitation? What do elementary particles do? The problem is the elimination of contradictions that imply the death or modification of one particle and by choice this may be the boson, ie change the message between the fermions. Insofar as gravitation is always attractive we have the possibility of black holes, the destruction of spacetime, the “ultraviolet catastrophe”. Our basic guide to all this is the way the world really works after 14 billion years of existence and our ability to understand this wilderness and make the best of it, not with fantastic dreams but with actual experience,the ‘indigenous compromise’. So what? Keep working, exploring.

Repeat last line of last page: optimize activity over time frame – for me the amount of life I have left with no real practical demands because I am cushioned by a somewhat undeserved pension, so do feel the need to repay with the only thing I have, knowledge and insight.

“Insofar as mathematics is a creative, cognitive enterprise, we must also understand the Hilbert method of mathematics as the key to the process through which the universe creates itself: cognitive cosmogenesis. It is not just a user of mathematics, it is a maker of mathematics. We might ask where is the arithmetic in a bag of beans? Cantor answered this by creating one to one correspondence between beans and the elements of sets. using sets, he created arithmetic. Georg Cantor - Wikipedia
Angels and the no cloning theorem. Space-time and no cloning create the multiplicity io identical fermions all [of each species] represented by a common quantum vector, ie the emergence of spacetime is related to Aristotle’s concept of individuation and this is in fact the negation of no the cloning theorem in pure Hilbert space to the multiplication of individual fermions in Minkowski space, an enormous increase in the entropy of the universe brought out by the fact that permutation of fermions in Minkowski space inverts the wave function [why?]. Feynman, Leighton & Sands FLP III:04: Identical Particles
Quantum mechanics is linear and the attribution of energy from the bifurcation of gravitation is also linear, potential and kinetic energy adding up to zero. Quantum mechanics works by linear algebra and the matrix representing the Minkowski metric is linear [but the base states of a linear space may be elements of a polynomial, meaning what?? The mass shell is a sort of polynomial]. On the other hand dealings within
[page 201]
the mass shell are quadratic, as represented in both space and time in the Klein-Gordon equation whereas the Schrödinger equation is a hybrid with linear time [like quantum mechanics] and quadratic momentum [something new!]. Klein-Gordon equation - Wikipedia
Dirac’s faith in quantum mechanics rather than relativity led him to seek the square root of the Schrödinger momentum operator which yielded a significant step forward. We may see the transformation from linear quantum mechanics to quadratic Minkowski space as implemented by observable particles [creating] Minkowski space [Aristotle, “place” τοπος]. Wicksteed & Cornford (1986): Aristotle, Physics books I-IV
Dirac’s decision to take the square root of the momentum operator had the effect of [somewhat] undoing the transformation from quantum mechanics to [Minkowski] space insofar as it exposed the existence of fermions, anti-particles and spinors, and we might understand the role of the gamma matrices as subtracting enough entropy from the quadratic mass shell to linearize it back to quantum mechanics. This little story seems to be the key to the interface between linear Hilbert space and quadratic Minkowski space.
The other part of the story is related to angels and quantum no-cloning. We can guess that in quantum mechanics there is only one state vector which describes the 3D model of the electron proposed by Qiu, the electron angel. On the other hand, this angel once it has been materializd by the acquisition of energy it [they] became exclusive and each creates its own little bit of spacetime and keeps others out so that we find any visible lump of matter like me is a construct of trillions or trillions of trillions ... of electrons etc. We have to fit these two stories together. All electrons are identical
[page 202]
because they all represent the concrete realization of the same state vector, the soul of the electron just as (in a close approximation) their DNA is a physical representation of a person’s soul, to be duplicated every tine a cell divides. We might see the creation of physical fermions and bosons as analogous to this and we get the idea that every fermion contains a set of relevant bosons just as every living being carries a set of symbols which it can transmit and reveive.

These problems are so complicated that even an elementary understanding, although inaccurate and incomplete, is worthwhile having, and so the subject will be one we shall go over and over again, each time with more and more accuracy, as we go through our course in physics. . . .

If a process involves two particles that are identical, reversing which one arrives is an alternative which cannot be distinguished and like all cases that cannot be distinguished – interferes with the original unexchanged case. The amplitude of a event is then the sum of the two interfering amplitudes, but interestingly enough, the interference is in same case with the same phase and in others with the opposite phase.

Alpha particle is 4 fermions - 1 bose particle. We cannot give a elementary explanation for fermions being −, bosons +. Has it got anything to do with mass? Is the explanation deep down in relativistic quantum mechanics? If so it must have something to do with Minkowski space. How do the particles know? Is it in their DNA, ie the wave functions which from a Nyquist-Shannon POV may be seen as a string of bits, ie orthogonal vectors in Hilbert space. Also we are talking about “scattering” in spacetime. Time to go back to Duck and Sudarshan. Ian Duck and E.C.G. Sudarshan (1998): Toward an understanding of the spin-statistics theorem

We have great faith in the Dirac equation, but does it fit reality? Do the gamma matrices violate the heuristic of simplicity, as though he started on the wrong track and the industry has stayed there ever since with radically misapplied mathematics which does not really fit the underlying particulate reality? Einstein was right with his continuous, complete, convex Gaussian space with a somewhat complex [Minkowski] metric but the singularity is a particle and all its children are particles represented by [orthogonal] vectors in Hilbert space selected by fixed point theory. All these derived images of chaos in Minkowski space may be delusions createed by misunderstanding of the underlying reality, like accountants misunderstanding the actual flows of value in a corporate entity [deceived, eg by fake accounts].
So first we start with a good story and then apply the maths – fundamental particle logically defined by Hilbert formalism and all other particle images formed by fixed point theory as Hilbert bases. Why not?

Spin Statistics Duck and Sudarshian.
I suppose I am a practitioner of the ‘fake it until you make it’ algorithm, deeply impressed by the payoff of the fake stories (backed by economic and military force) which have paid off so magnifcently for the practitioners of the world religions.
D &S: Trying to improve on Feynman’s comment on spin and statistics.
This may give us a bit of deeper insight into the relationship of Hilbert and Minkowski space and our fundamental boson / fermion qubit which explains the origin of Minkowski space [by introducing energy harvested from gravitation by quantum mechanics, the foundation of the mass shell whose total energy content is 0, like the whole universe] all with a view to identifying the features of quantum mechanics to be applied through symmetry with respect to complexity to human affairs.
Feynman says of spin-statistics: ‘[our inability to explain it] probably means that we do not have a complete understanding of the fundamental principles involved.’ [Maybe symmetry breaking in the variational path to increasing entropy.’
D&S page 254: Dirac equation; spin ½; Klein-Gordon: spin 1. Why do anticommutating particles exist (p. 285) - must have half integral spin and 3 + 1 spacetime. Or, from the opposite point of view, fermions are the cause of 3 + 1 spacetime, of better, fermions and bosons, i.e. the fundamental qubit.
Pauli exclusion: no more than on particle per quantum mechanical state - IN MINKOWSKI SPACE, i.e is it a quantum thing or a spacetime thing [in Hilbert space without the spacetime individualization of vectors, two copies of a vector is simply the same vector]. It is a consequence of giving energy to a “fermion state’.
D&F page 285:
The prexisting proofs of SST have been encumered by formulations using the full formalism of relativistic quantum field theory. This turns out to be unnecessarily complicated. Following
[page 205]
work done by Schwinger and Sudarshan the proof of the SST is reduced to a few bar essentials which are captured in elementary QM - extended to include Pauli spinors of half integral spin supplemented by one essential feature of relativistic theory.
D&S part D, page 298.
Let us say that symmetry breaking is consistent with the second law of thermodynamics. We think that this law is not causal but ‘observational’ and that one reason for its existence is a search for equilibrium which tends to decrease outliers in either direction. Perhaps the answer to this spin-statistics question is that it is a realized possibility [like a genetic change] that gives us spacetime and positive and negative energy in the form of fermions and bosons. The exclusion principle enables fermions to multiply and the parallel creation or bosons balances the energy of the fermions to establish conservation of energy and justice. The symmetry breaking of gravitation into kinetic and potential energy lays the foundation for a massive increase in entropy. So we can phrase my whole book in terms of entropy and energy and the source of entropy may be fake it until you make it, ie the foundation of evolution and natural selection.

I am having my morning dose of Cartesian doubt. Cartesian doubt - Wikipedia
I have got plenty of clear and distinct ideas, but do they prove anything? All that I can claim is that I have been going in the right direction if my ideas feel better than those of the physicists and theologians I am questioning. My only firm ground is Popper’s falsification and there are clear revisions necessary in theology and, I think, in physics. Karl Raimond Popper (1972): Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge
The ideas in physics are coming quite thick and fast as I try to clean up the index to L4L and the draft of quantocracy and I can see that I must take my time to shape the websites leading to my next book, lust-or-life and moral-algebra. The core of this story, as it has been since about 2000 is the relationship between Hilbert and Minkowski space as it is framed in the concept that the universe is divine, ie omnipotent in Aquinas’s definition, limited only by consistency and formally in Hilbert’s sense also limited only by consistency with the very helpful discoveries of Gödel and Turing which show that consistency does not rule out uncertainty, thereby [enabling] quantum mechanics and evolution.
My days are spent going over and over these ideas trying to suck more juice out of them. Juice, aka lubricant is what enabls the world to go round, and it appears to be embodied in inertial spacr where the planets reolve, with the tweaks like the perihelion of Mercury and the ultimate ‘[ultraviolet] ‘catastrophe’ of black holes.
So that is the preface for today. What will be the next bit of progress toward the solution to all my problems? More to the point, what is the current problem? Fixed point theory and the formal increase of entropy are good. The fun lies in the bifurcation of gravitation through which we harvest energy to turn formal angels into sexy bodies
[page 207]
feeding energy into the mass shell.
[And note here (as a newly observed aside) that Einstein gravitation is built on Minkowski space which is in a sense complex, so it may not be surprising that the bases created in the Aquinas–Einstein symmetry by fixed point theory are the product of complex functions mapping the initial symmetry onto itself.]
[back to the text] Look at Behiel’s deriving the Dirac equation. Begin with Klein-Gordon to get from Schrödinger (non relativistic) to Dirac (relativistic). K-G [fails to] capture the spin of the electron [a handy source of another bit of entropy].
Then go to Dirac’s concerns with K-G. Start with mass shell in Minkowski space (mc)2 = (E/c)2 - Pn2. Where does 3D P come from? Fermion exclusion. Energy - momentum - mass ≡ angelic bodies. Richard Behiel (c): Deriving the Klein Gordon Equation
2’ 40”: The trick is to write the energy and momentum terms in the quantum operators in Minkowski space ≡ mass shell. This is where the quadratic stuff enters [and, it seems, the introduction of differential operators from calculus is inappropriate because Minkowski space in not continuous excepts in the large numbers approximation].
3’ 35”: Assemble KG equation from the statements of quantum operators in mass shell, i.e. post hoc (KG) therefore propter hoc - how does adding energy to form make this happen? Energy is a sequence of actions (i.e. time ≡ waves) therefore it “executes” the [Hilbert] form in the computational sense, ie Minkowski space is the execution of Hilbert space, ie natural quantum computation which I have been sort of saying since Feynman 1980 so now it is in clear language. Richard P. Feynman (1981): Simulating Physics with Computers
The difference between ‘natural quantum computation’ and the sort of quantum computation that the googles of this world are attempting revolves around the “measurement problem”. Nature uses the full entropy of the natural linear action whereas the computer mob are plagued by decoherence because they wash to select one ‘decoherence free subspace’ to execute a particular operation. Measurement problem - Wikipedia, Decoherence-free subspaces - Wikipedia
The whole business of quantum mechanics in Minkowski spade is executed by applying differential operators to wave functions on the understanding that these functions in Minkowski space are continuous which they are not, they are quantized, as von Neumann points out. Here we have
[page 207]
the fundamental error of quantum field theory which leads to the Born rule and all the associated shenanigans developed by Feynman?

to deal with positive and negative energy particles (introduced by complex numbers) i.e. calculation shows increasing momentum → less energy. Dirac equation also has this problem [which is attributed to anti-particles].
30’ : Real answer, according to me, is that KG shows that boson energy is potential and therefore negative, so fermion-boson split preserves the zero energy of the universe [locally, and explains the precise conservation of energy].
31’, 32’: Second Dirac critique: It is second order in time whereas Schrödinger is first order. Second order opens the derivative as a new degree of freedom, the rate of change of ψ, which becomes an initial condition. This is Dirac’s fundamental problem with KG Here we are learning a lot about the role of complex numbers in QM.

3’: Key to Dirac equation is to take the square root of the mass shell, making it linear like quantum mechanics.
10’: Answer lies in gamma matrices to zero out the cross terms in the square root. [looks like a mathematical fudge not representing reality, but it works quite well even if it is not the real answer].
If we translate Hilbert space directly into spaetime we
[page 210]
end up with the square root of the mass shell corresponding to the linearity of Hilbert space. The question then arises why is the quantum square rooted, the mass shell squared in Minkowski space. This suggests added entropy is converting quantum vectors into energetic particles. Fermions fit the ‘positive’ mass shell and bosons fit the negative mass shell. Fermions exclude; bosons don’t.

13’20”: Dirac equation is lke a flattened Klein-Gordon equation
13’45”: The 4D gamma matrices mean (?) that the Dirac wave function must have 4 components, representing spin up and down electron, spin up and down positron. [Why does KG equation only have one component wave function?].
Or maybe ψ3 and ψ4 represent potential, negative energy. Now we need an essay on the transition from Hilbert to Minkowski space [since in the old days Hilbert space was written on Minkowski space so it seemed natural for the results to be in the mass shell, but now that we have made Hilbert space primary, we need some detail about the conversion from one space to the other. This problem seems fairly minor to the problems raised by the subjection of Hilbert space to Lornteuz transformations.

[. . .]
Here we are saying that the negative parts of the mass shell represent positive energy positrons. Is this right? [We can be pretty sure that positrons are relatively scarce in the universe so that from this point of view the negative side of the mass shell would be very much smaller than the positive side. Maybe the negative (potential) energy corresponds to bosons, much more popular that antiparticles (apart from antineutrinos).

age of imperialism when both theology and physics have grown up in an era when military violence is the dominant criterion of truth and the reality of the world and ourselves is ignored by killing it whenever it intrudes on the progress of power. My book has almost inadvertently put a finger on this with the ideas prefigured in quantocracy and its natural follower moral-algebra. I must work again to capture this evil in the abstract to lust-for-life and then preach the word of my particulate saviour, John von Neumann.
From the physical point of view the error was embodied from the start by the doctrine of continuity implicit in effect in the interpretation of the ancient pythagorian theorem which produced a formal solution to Zeno’s paradoxes by inventing continuity. Aristotle pushed back with his concept of things and place but we see the whole of physics, beginning with the genius Dirac, applying calculus blindly to Minkowski space without realizing that it is composed of discrete particles as indicated by the relationship Δx . Δp ≈ ΔE . Δt ≈ ℏ
So where do I have to begin? An easy entry is the politics of war and imperialism, but my natural approach is through individuality, particularity and the theory of communication as laid out by Shannon and von Neumann, represented by the string of symbols by which I am trying to capture my new vision of the one god represented by the initial symmetry [since the conditions for the operation of fixed point their define the particulate space in which the mapping function must operate]. I must keep trying to capture it in lust-for-life and laying the foundation in moral-algebra whose bible, for the time being, is the work of John le Carre, hands down my favourite author [after Thomas] aka David John Moore Cornwall, 1932_10_14 to 2020_12_12.

So back to Behiel Electromagnetism as a gauge theory (DB 93 Theological Genocide pp 207 sqq.)
EM video 15’: Dirac equation unites quantum mechanics and special relativity. NO, it completely ignores the “quantum” in quantum mechanics and it is a blatant application of calculus to linear algebra where it does not belong. Hilbert space, with orthogonal bases and all orthogonal vectors, is not compatible with calculus. General relativity [written on a differentiable gaussian, continuous, complete, complex, convex manifold] works only in the structureless initial singularity. Brouwer fixed-point theorem - Wikipedia, Albert Einstein (1915): The Field Equations of Gravitation
I have a few bits and pieces, but still not a story. I have got from Aquinas–Einstein symmetry to the boson-fermion duality. This, on observing itself, will produce a fermion or a boson and realize them as particles, perhaps an electron or a photon, perhaps the inaugural proton. We leave this to chance and imagine that it is possible, along with the other members of the elementary group, rather like the appearance of the first life form in biological evolution, and we suppose that a feedback loop between Hilbert and Minkowski space creates a rapid increase in energy and entropy which we could call a big bang. The |fermion⟩ and |boson⟩ are subspaces in a much bigger space which could by chance produce both elementary and composite particles. The

Market goes well for a change; writing not so; but without actually knowing how it works (as is the case of biological evolution examined bitwise) we can nevertheless feel confident with the evolution of the Hilbert / Minkowski interface with the Minkowski providing the individuation and differentiation necessary to multiply stable Hilbert forms as reproduction multiplies stable genetic forms [establishing a very close analogy between fundamental and biological evolution]. This is basically the insight I have relied on since 2000ish to justify my cognitive approach to fundamental physics. Need to read LADWrong a bit more for insight into the idea that hermitian operators select real vectors out of complex processes by superposing vectors with their complex conjugates, the core of renormalization. Hermitian matrix - Wikipedia, Sergei Treil (2026_01_21): Linear Algebra Done Wrong
This development of real vectors is the reason for the existence of so called ‘hidden information’ explained by Nielsen and Chuang and maybe explains why some of the fundamental misunderstanding of quantum mechanics surrounding the hype in quantum computation motivated by the belief that decoherence can be conquered, revealing and operationalizing the hidden information.
[page 215]
Zurek: “in short, we shall describe how decoherence converts quantum entanglement into classical correlations and how thus correlations can be used by an observer for the purpose of prediction.” Wojciech H. Zurek (1998_08_15): Decoherence, einselection and the existential interpretation (the rough guide)
The culprit which made it impossible to classicality as a limiting case was at the very foundation of the quantum edifice: it was the quantum principle of superpositionIt guarantees that any superposition of quantum states is a legal quantum state. This introduced a whole Hilbert space of possibilities with only a small fraction of states in Hilbert space which could be associated with classically observable states and the superposition of such states are flagrantly non-classical. Moreover, the number of possible non-classical states in Hilbert space increases exponentially with dimensionality while the number of classical stats increases only linearly. This divergence (which is perhaps the key ingredient responsible for the exponential speedup of quantum computation) is a measure of the problem . . .
The more I think about this stuff the further out I get. It is all built on the ‘hidden information’ in ψ = α|1⟩ + β|0⟩ where α and β csn only have the orthogonal values 0 and 1.

Equality ≡ equal entropy ≡ equal genotype [holds also for complexity of Hilbert vectors].
Donald is a childish fuckwit, as all children more or less are and they need parents aware of the full entropy of humanity to guide them, what we call elders, and I am, in age and experience and elder so I feel a certain duty to provide a circle of consistency to children to fit them into the universe which is the soul of our [indigenous] religion. Slowly coming to appreciate the role I have always had as a very juvenile elder, knowing instinctively that the system was wrong, an imperial life force forced upon us intellectually by thee Roman Catholic Church snd physically by the Roman Empire and all its ancient precedents and modern successors. Now I know space is a product of its contents and the controls of human space is all of us defined fundamentally by a common genome. I am going for the Einstein role, intellectual, almost correct and considered radically radical, taking us into new territory, a new world beyond the old and familiar, the divine world brought down to earth, a modern Aristotle to an ancient Plato, Christianity and salvation by sacrifice.

Where am I going? Am I ready to commit to the eternal proton as the foundation of the world? I have abandoned in fallible, ephemeral imperial Catholicism but retained the Christianity of Jesus and am now also inclined to the Tao, to Confucius and Buddha? Is this my path forward. Certainly th proton is a fixed point in evolution and we ned something to replace Wilczek’s dreams, impossible dreams, and the error of continuous field theory. The proton has emerged as the eternal image of the initial singularity. What does it teach us through its stable complexity. What can the heuristic of simplicity teach us about it. The duality of fermion and boson, the residual triplicity in fermions, eg neutrinos, electrons and gluons. How do these ingredients make an eternal web? How to fit the Montesquieu model of governance, [separation of powers]? I need a new picture to carry me ahead,
When out on a limb, go further. Somewhere in my youth was a tree where if one went far enough the limb would droop down to the next onE and you could grab it and descend the tree that way. Was that true, or just a fantasy. I do not remember ever being hurt.
Now I m back to Wilczek not so must to criticize (which started my rejection of field theory in about 2017) as to pick out good data for my story of the proton, eg QCD Lagrangian and Behiel strong nuclear force as a gauge theory parts 1-5. A week’s work, but getting close to moral-algebra.

Four more parts. Sequel to EM as a gauge field.
There we see that the U(1) symmetry group gives rise to the photon field and the Lagrangian of QED = we might see this as entropically impossible because the U(1) group is in effect one loop of the complex plane, carrying one bit of information [or as a 2π continuum carrying an infinite amount of information; anyhow, go on. “All that that blossoms out of the local U(1) symmetry” [i.e. ‘local’ requires bosons to communicate between the fermions].
Now we go into SU(3) an conclude that the strog nuclear force is going to become gluon fields and Lagrangian of QD, ie strong nuclear, is SU(3). You wish! “No one knows where the symetries come from! They are there from the beginning, [in the radial symmetry of Hilbert space in the initial symmetry].
We will finish with the whole Lagrangian of QCD [should the simpler U(1) come first? But it does not have the stability of the proton? [electrons, photons and neutrinos are also stable, but protons appear to be somewhat indestctible, like the hydra head].
Standard model gauge group SU(3) colour, SU(2)L LH weak isospin, U(1)γ hypercharge. SU(2) + U(1) is electroweak sector and Higgs field and I have to learn all this and replace it with the Hilbert quantum mechanical picture as we go along. Of course all this stuff assumes the existence of Minkowski space. We construct that from gluon/fermion duality.

Why should we expect the nucleus of an atom to be weird?
Atom 10^-10 metre, nucleus 10^-15 metre. Grain of rice in a stadium.
Colour confinement RGB =white. Can’t separate colours systems always colour neutral.
We want a natural explanation for colour confinement with complex mathematics [how does it relate to Hilbert space: a bit like inertial Symmetry?]
Spin &frac32; Δ baryons - resonances [very short lives].“Spin-statistics absolute foundation of physics” (?). Colour is new degree of freedom [forced by spin-statistics? or vice versa?]
Anti-green anti-quark → π meson.
Pi mesons bind protons and neutrons in a nucleus overcoming electrstatic repulsion. 3 generations of fermions.Hadrons xplained by quarks bound by gluons.
No visible proton decay, life at mast 10^40+ sec.Pseufo scalar mesons spin 0. Vector mesons spin 1.
Colour: The lagrangian is the sum of colour lagrangians. Wave unction is sum of colour wav functions. Multiple different wave functions, independent and superposed, written in Minkowski space.
How do we make invariant Lagrangian from various colour mixes: givn local SU(30 symmetry we make Lagrangian as Lagrangian of strong forcr. What w want are 3 x 3 complex valued matrices such that det U = 1, and U†U = I. In pure QM matrix is global; in Minkowski space it is local.

So local gauge transformations need bosons to keep the accounting right [rails the same distance apart].
The plan is really to make the construction of the universe so simple that even a Hilbert space could do it using nothing more than compl numbers and superposition.
The outstanding feature of my career is that I have never had a useful collaborator. I now know three people who have read and liked my book, but now that I am in the midst of composing the sequel I s=am completely alone [apart from the internet and hundreds of books] building on foundations I laid in the book but getting further and further from the standard centre. Having completely rejected the Catholic doctrine of salvation I am now settling into the idea that the world that made us is the agency that also saves us so that w have to become indigenous to our world and treat it like a loving parent, learning from it and caring for it in an understanding and responsive manner as we see in the natural sciences of energy and the minimization of pollution and waste.
My new program now for creating the world has pivoted to the eternity of the proton at the same time as my rejection of quantum field theory has consolidated so I am faced with the lonely task of remodelling quantum chromodynamics on the cognitive model. I have taken two significant steps, one applying from an advance on my pension (1700$) and two buying a serious textbook on gauge theory, even though I know that applying calculus to Hilbert space is a possible mistakebut the most cognitive approach is through wave mchanics, linear algebra and the eigenvalue equation interpreted as linguistics and the unitary theory of communucation, thinking in terms of rhe interface etween Hilbert and Minkowski, treating the world as my bible. So I want
[page 221]
to hear what my new god has to say about the proton and all its family. I am going it alone but the result, if I succeed will be creative enough to be very powerful and I would like it to have the same power is the parable of the good Samaritan.
In spacetime locality = messengers [internet]. In Hilbert space locality = superposition [living together] so in QCD stability of proton ≡ closure of set of quarks and gluons + photons + mesons.
