Maybe gravitation is outside the harmonic paradigm, even though we talk about gravitational waves, but the expansion of the Universe is the longest period event available.
The unification of gravity and quantum mechanics is the problem and we know it is solved in reality, it is just a problem for us. We also know (?) that it is solved at the simplest level of the universal structure, so that the solution need not be very complex.
Further, we know that everything revolves around the metric, which is the proper time interval between events, ie the emission [and reception]of messages.
Further gravitation is symmetric with respect to energy/time, seeing nothing but energy, no structure, no particles etc.
[page 120]
Further gravitation is classical and deterministic in the way of continuous functions like the wave equation, so we might say that it it depends on observation, ie the interaction of 'isolated' quantum systems.
Are all velocities modulations of the velocity of light?
The simplest quanta have no personality, they are simply units of action, and can be treated by cardinal set theory. Order can only enter with personality, that is identifiability.
An event occurs when the proper interval between its elements is zero, is we are now in a Hilbert space rather than a cosmic space. Such memory as is available in an interaction
The existence of a metric implies communication.
Quantum harmonic oscillator is closed (like a group) since there are no isolated points that cannot be reached or returned from.
Planck: Pais page 192: 'Einstein's work on relativity probably exceeds in audacity everything that has so far been achieved in speculative science and even in epistemology; non-Euclidean geometry is child's play in comparison. Pais
The network paradigm has a place for events which continuous paradigms do not. Events are what we observe and want to explain and predict. My life on ladders, scaffolds and roofs demands very careful attention to observing the structures upon which I depend (including my own movements) and correctly predicting the outcomes of my structures and moves.

Inside the quantum singularity. From the point of view of 4-space a quantum event is simply a point, a delay in time. All events have this character. The transmission freight is from the point of view of sender and recipient, represented by transit time.
Pythagoras' theorem lays the foundation for rotation of orthogonal axes.
A quantum process is represented by a time interval [the observation of which interval is subject to special relativity].

The plan to unify gravitation and quantum mechanics is to look at them when their complexity (logarithmic) is 0, 1 and 2 (ie 1, 2 and 4 states [to base 2. Perhaps any base, even transfinite, will do; base then corresponds to 'layer']. One of these states is always time, the cosmic clock.Tuesday 14 February 2012
Syria - more sectarian conflict. If natural religion is to take over it must develop suitable answers to all the big questions.
Insofar as the Universe itself is undefined we cannot define it.
[page 122]
Although one might be inclined to accuse the Roman Catholic Church of dodgy trade practices, one cannot consciously follow the same track. It is probably true that most of them are honest footsoldiers doing what they have been told to do. The proper starting point is to gather evidence for natural theology and develop it in a clear and logical way that answers all the questions. A New Theology is an extended version without the history (?) No, the history is part of it.
The mapping of emotion onto itself eventually leads to the fixed points which define the action taken in response to the emotion. How far will you go to achieve a certain end? For many it is freedom or death because the life of captivity is worse than death.
Biology starts when we have a an alphabet of physical particles sufficient to construct a living system.
What we are offering is a network picture of creation.
Einstein page 99: 'But the most attractive problem, to the solution of which the general theory of relativity supplies the key, concerns the investigation of the laws satisfied by [= symmetries of] the gravitational field itself - invariants of gravitation.
page 102: centrifugal and centripetal gravitation = acceleration.
Gravity is a force, that is a communication. What is being communicated are quanta of action, ie isolated quantum systems. A message results when two entities communicate a la Zurek. Quanta of action may be considered as dust. Wojciech Hubert Zurek

page 121: Encounter = transmission of message. page 120: 'We assign to every point of the continuum (event) four numbers xi (co-ordinates) which have not the least direct physical significance but only serve the purpose of numbering the points of the continuum in a definite but arbitrary manner. . . . The reader may think such a description of the world would be quite inadequate. What does it mean to assign to a particular event the particular coordinates xi, if in themselves these coordinates have no significance? More careful consideration shows, however, that this anxiety is unfounded. Let us consider, for instance, a material point with any kind of motion. If this point had only a momentary existence without duration then it would be described in space time by a single system of values xi. Thus its permanent existence must be characterized by an infinitely large number of such systems of values, the coordinate values of which are so close together as to give continuity. Corresponding to the material point we thus have a (uni-dimensional) line in the four-dimensional continuum. In the same way any such lines in our continuum correspond to many points in motion. The only statements having regard to these points which can claim a physical existence are, in reality, the statements about their encounters [which are described by quantum mechanics].
Encounter / measurement / observation / two compose a single communique ψψ*.
Einstein (continued) 'In our mathematical treatment, such an encounter is expressed in the fact that the two lines that represent the motions of the points in question have a particular system of coordinate values xi in common. After mature consideration the reader will doubtless admit that in reality such encounters constitute the only actual evidence of a
[page 125]
space-time nature which we need in physical statements.'
Encounter = count
Einstein page 122: 'Thus in reality the description of the space-time continuum by means of Gauss coordinates completely replaces the description with the aid of a body of reference.'
page 123: 'All Gaussian coordinate systems are essentially equivalent for the description of the general laws of nature.'
page 126: 'The great power possessed by the general principle of relativity lies in the comprehensive limitation which is imposed on the laws of nature in consequence of what we have seen above.'

What hope have I? Mot of it lies in the fact that I appear to be on an extreme outlier from the point of view of the continuous paradigm.
All though many interpreters of physics texts might assume that the continuum contains an infinite amount of information, algorithmic information theorists may assume that it contains very little, the Nyquist limit for periodic functions. Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem - Wikipedia

Religion is discovered. not made, so no one can own it. Farelly, Sydney Morning Herald, 12 February 2012. Elizabeth Farelly
[page 125]
On the other hand, the task of reforming planetary religion looks hopeless.The Sunnis and Shias are re-enacting the Protestant/Catholic battles of long ago and the Christians as a whole are in conflict with Islam.

Looking for adventure vs looking for security. Creation vs business as usual.
My ambition as always is to reveal the divinity to everyone by showing how to see it, in contrast to the mystery religions which tke possession of God and hide it for their own use, like those who patent genes (a fault of the Patent office) Farelly.
My continued lack of progress reflects the difficulty of the problem, my own lack of passion and perhaps my failure to recognise how far we have come.
We see the creative ability of the Universe reflected in our own curiosity and desire for knowledge, both characteristic of survivors. A survivor is one in posession of an effective algorithm for obtaining the resources for survival, which explains the emphasis on computable functions in quantum mechanics. A computable function is a bit of business as usual which is in effect capital or intellectual property, an effective algorithm. I have suffered many
[page 126]
losses in my life and invested a significant proportion of my resources in the natural religion project which has yet to pay off, but I am surviving and prospering on my practical skills. These skills also serve as a paradigm for the reality based practicality that I am trying to introduce into religion.
The hall mark of divinity is the evolution of stable systems which proceeds by the making and breaking of symmetries. The initial symmetry.
Left creative, right conservative, at least in principle. Left create symmetries, right stick to existing broken symmetries.
Create a symmetry = alphabet
Break a symmetry = use the alphabet to encode a message
Create a symmetry = use the resulting space of messages as a new symmetry.

NOP is the simplest (null) algorithm, the Kronecker delta. Then comes NOT, AND, OR etc, all available to be reversibly implemented by linear operators in Hilbert space. These are the simplest of the computable functions (eigenfunctions) and all other computable functions can be constructed from these and sufficient memory.
Still, 25 years later, have not quite found out how to squeeze
[page 127]
the relativity of transfinity in. It has to do with resolution, ie distinction (quantization). Even if we have only two natural numbers so that ℵ0 = 2, we can still build a model of the pure Platonic Cantor Universe in which ℵ0 = card(N)
