I was saved from damage by the shock of being ostracized by my family in 2017 by my intense involvement in theology. This year I am celebrating 60 years since I began my theological career in 1963 and I am beginning to see that there might be come truth in my latest product, page 23 of Quantum Field Theory on my website Cognitive Cosmology. I hope this will be complete by the end of the year so that I can start to promote it, convert it into a popular book, a personal testament, and begin to seek reconciliation with my family by trying to convince them that their accusations against me are false. My best evidence is that although they accused me of a serious crime and there appear to have been many witnesses against me, the police took no action. They merely warned me to be wary of my family because they were all piling on against me. Why, I do not know.

What can we say about the matter-antimatter symmetry to round off cc23_quantum_field. A mystery? Does the Turing vacuum have an answer? Something to do with gravitation? Dirac equation? Weak interaction symmetry breaking? Why does this happen? Is there a reason or a random event? [from an evolutionary point of view the reason may be the same as I suggested on page 12: The quantum creation of Minkowski space that this development enables a massive increase in the entropy of the Universe (since it would not be destroyed by matter being annihilated by antimatter) and therefore there a selective advantage in preventing this annihilation]. Here is a problem to solve which seems totally beyond my ability but maybe the idea of cognitive cosmology might help. I am in a dream world anyway, reading Einstein's article about his approach to general relativity. What I have been talking about all along is symmetry breaking, starting with the zero energy universe break into potential and kinetic energy. What is the analogy here, if any, with matter and anti-matter and Feynman's idea of the direction of time. Next move, Quantum Chromodynamics.

A bit of a challenge for my old age and it will all revolve around my dream, describing the world of hadrons in the language of the weirdly named 'Turing vacuum. What does a vacuum mean? The kinematic source of the Universe. We solve the cosmological constant problem by claiming that zero point energy is kinematic if it exists at all and that the quantum of action, which leads to the uncertainty principle which drives high frequencies . All wrong, as described in cc20_fixed_points.

cc24_chromodynamics: I am not happy with the assumption of infinities and the application of renormalization and negative and positive shielding in the development of QCD even though 't Hooft and Veltman won Nobel prizes for the renormalizability of gauge theories. Martinus J G Veltman: Nobel Lecture 1999: From weak interactions to gravitation, Gerardus 't Hooft: Nobel Lecture 1999: A Confrontation with Infinity
Veltman's Nobel lecture seems to violate my heuristic of simplicity, but we may be prepared to admit that the weak interaction can be very complex.
Feynman "Since nobody has solved the problem it was obviously not worthwhile to investigate what they had done." It is clear that evolution has solved all of these problems, so the evolutionary methodology is worth following which is (impossibly?) to create a line of mutations that have led from some reasonable starting point to the conclusion we seek rather like my attempt to provide a quantum mechanical explanation of the Minkowski metric. The historical literature records lots of forgotten dead ends (extinctions) and all we are left with is the living proof. My desire is to get from my initial singularity to a proton, but do we go via electrodynamics or is electrodynamics a consequence of chromodynamics?
Veltman page 14 of 17: "I have introuced the name "screening theorem" in this connection. Nature seems to have been very careful in hiding the Higgs particle from actual observation. My project is an exercise in hubristic stupidity, but what am I going to do with my life? And I have no doubt that the universe is divine and all of this is just a subset of that project. The main result, that particles are the carriers of the spirit, is long since in the bag. Now the big question is what do I want for breakfast? Omelette with bacon. Some progress with QFT and QCD would be the icing on the cake.
Veltman conclusion: "The mind wrenching transition of field theory in the sixties to the present day gauge-field theory is not really visible anymore, and it is surely hard to understand for the present generation of field theorists. the might ask: Why did it take so log? Perhaps the above provides some answer to that question.
My basic idea is that there are no actual infinities. Renormalization was devised to deal with fictitious infinities and so it is also a fiction and we must learn to deal with the finite quantized universe snd the only way to deal with this is logical [most probably quantum logical computation [but this needs to be expressed in human readable language].

't Hooft: A Confrontation with Infinity, Nobel 8 November 1999
Another glorious Monday, inspired by the concept that evolution invented the clitoris to encourage females to undertake the dangerous and sometimes fatal task of reproduction. One of the evils of many religions is that they seek to force women to reproduce without pleasure.
't Hooft: All the renormalization stuff happens when we are working in Minkowski space, but the reality of quantum mechanics occurs in Hilbert space which is outside Minkowski space and so can be considered to exist inside zero-size articles like (we assume) electron. Physical electrons interact in Minkowski space via photons and even if the electrons are touching they exchange virtual photons in both directions and so share their internal stated just as people do when they meet and maybe touch and or mate.
't Hooft page 364: Those damned quantum fluctuations again. Where does the energy come from to drive the
[page 9]
fluctuations? All this stuff is denial of the principle of conservation of energy, which according to Noether demands a continuum without fluctuation to come true. The cosmological constant problem tells us that fluctuations and zero point energy do not exist except to the small extent necessary to account for the Casimir effect and the Lamb shift and these can easily be explained by the existence of other real couplings. The negative scaling of Yang-Mills illustrated on page 363 of 't Hooft also suggests thst fluctustions are meaningless. Why should they give a different result in Yang-Mills? Casimir effect - Wikipedia, , Neuenschwander (2011)
't Hooft page 365: SU(2) forces act only on left rotating fermions, ie they are going around the polar complex plane in one particular direction.
'Entirely new theories must be found for the small distance structure. Logical theories [executed by quantum computation in Hilbert space] do not care about energy or distance, only about logical states which are encoded in the phase of vectors in Hilbert space, which phases are constructed by the superposition of basis states as we see in the water waved resulting from throwing a handful of stoners onto the surface of a placid pond. Superposition is possible on water surfaces because they are represented by large numbers of discrete particvles loosely coupled by viscosity.
Hilbert space is kinematic representation.

Just plough ahead. Like the random input to evolution, I cannot control my mind and my insights, but when they come I am motivated to incorporate them into my story so far and revise those thins that I see to be wrong.
Much physics since the invention of calculus has been done by linearizing things by considering them on an infinitesimal scale and then integrating to get back to reality. This leads to trouble when denominators become 0. The beauty of quantum mechanics is that its principal operation, superposition, is already linear and the operators used to process the vectors in Hilbert space use simple arithmetic of multiplication and addition from which most of the magic emerges through the use of complex numbers. Implicit in the power of evolution is the power of reproduction which is a periodic phenomenon which introduces waves and exponentiation into the [real, physical] picture.
Why do I feel niggledy? My life is perfect. My pension flows in and I am free to work on my world shattering ideas from seven in the morning to midnight with a snooze in the afternoon. It is true that no-one takes much notice of me, but I am happy with that. I spent about 40 years as a jack of all trades maintaining the physical world in shape and writing theological thoughts in my spare time, trying to build on my first idea, How universal is the universe? Jeffrey Nicholls (1967): How universal is the universe?
[page 11]
Now as an old age pensioner I am free of all these overheads and the only source of stress is the disparity between my dreams and my ability, multiplied by the pressure I feel to develop a marketable product. And the only advice I can give myself is to ignore my home made deadlines, take your time, look after yourself. If your parents are anything to go by, you still have 20 years to finish the job. One day I will search these notes and see how many times I have said that. Meanwhile I seek inspiration in 't Hooft and Novaes, trying to explain gauge theory in a page about quantum field theory so that I can contrast it with my network models, classical and quantum. Gerardus 't Hooft (2005); 50 Years of Yang Mills Theory, Sergio F. Novaes: Standard Model: An Introduction
I can only write what I know and I do not know a lot about the current state of quantum field theory, but I do know a bit of the old theology and a bit about evolution and I am trying to put these things together to make a story. My first steps, from God to Trinity to initial singularity through Hilbert space to quantum mechanics seem to me to be quite plausible and to avoid some of the pitfalls I see in the big bang theory [and the notion that we can truly describe the world in continuous mathematics]. My first 'discovery', given my assumption that Hilbert space is independent and precedes Minkowski space, was the idea that Minkowski space is a product of quantum mechanics and the most interesting point about this is the Minkowski metric which enables massless particles like photons to travel in effect outside Minkowski spacetime carrying quantum states with
[page 12]
them and acting as memory . The photons of the microwave background are 14 billion years old and they carry the quantum state they were created with from then until now. Back in their more local environment they also functioned as memory. Now I do not know how quantum theory created Minkowski space and the particles within it, but I assume that it happened and the reason it happened is because the creation of space enabled a vast increase in the entropy of the universe [by multiplying the number of spatially separated fermions particles and their enclosed Hilbert spaces]. This look a bit like I am invoking the final cause to explain the creation of the world, but there is a logical statistical explanation [so Boltzmann thought?] and I believe the same explanation holds for whatever process the Universe discovered to overcome the anti-matter catastrophe and establish baryon asymmetry which stopped the world being struck dead in its tracks by universal particle antiparticle annihilation.

Renormalization, screening and antiscreening. These are where my unhappiness lies since both depend on what to me is a physical myth, the generation of energy by the uncertainty principle. All this has a blue chip scientific team of backers but I have to register my ignorant dissent and propose my alternative
[page 13]
evolutionary paradigm which I will try to explain in terms of the P versus NP problem in computation, particularly in quantum computation with the variation arising from Hilbert space, the selection coming from durable fixed points which point, tautologically to both survival and the universal increase of entropy that drives the complexification of the Universe past apparently impossible impasses.
We can say that mass has no role in quantum theory and Hilbert space ad energy has only a kinematic presence in the sense that it defines ∂t which is only a parameter, not real time since Hilbert space is prior to space and time. The quantum mechanical derivation of stationary states eliminates time from the results of the theory so that like real energy, real time has only a kinematic presence in quantum theory.
Special relativity makes a magnificent contribution to electrodynamics but its role is only kinematic, not dynamic as Einstein makes very clear. It did not begin to play its dynamic role until Einstein encapsulated it in the general theory where its tole, discovered by Dirac, is to make spacetime 4D and connect quantum mechanics to general relativity through its peculiar metric snd the contribution of gravitational potential to the dynamicization of the kinematic features of quantum mechanics. I have to thank Jon Opie for his lectured on representation which led me to the distinction between puppet kinematics and living dynamics.
[page 24]
Barrow and Tipler page 4: The selection effect: 'The Anthropic Principle shows that the observed structure of the Universe is restricted by the fact that we are observing the structure; by the fact, so to speak, that the Universe is oberving itself.' This occurs at all scales and is the foundation of the principle of symmetry with respect to complexity.
page 5: ' The principal strengths of these controlling forces of nature are determined by the mysterious collection of pure numbers that we call the constants of nature.'
[Barrow and Tipler first noted 2016_o1_24]
page 22: 'Hoyle points out how natural it might be to raw a teleological conclusion from the fortuitous positioning of nuclear resonance levels in carbon and oxygen: "I do not believe that any scientist who examined the evidence would fail to draw the inference that the laws of nuclear physics have been deliberately designed with regard for the consequences they produce inside stars. If this is so then any apparently random quirks have become part of a deep laid scheme. If not, then we are back at a monstrous sequence of accidents".

I am feeling the possibility f some sort of discovery here replacing the madness of fluctuations and screening with the wort of definite logical process represented by the 'Turing Vacuum' and the diagrammatic approach to perturbation theory developed by Feynman in QED. It remains vague, but the thought I woke up with this morning adds weight to my idea that 4D spacetime is the operating system of the Universe selecting the dynamic reality out of the kinematic possibility and fixing of the 3D rotation group SU(3) as the controlling entity in the physical picture. The idea remain vague but t should be possible to hammer it out in the last three pages of cognitive cosmology. I need to refer to Wilson's Nobel Lecture and Huang's encomium and use my demolition of the quantum fluctuation myth in favour of the Feynman chain of connection story to explain the complexity of the quantum processes behind the scened. Feynman diagrams are a description of the kinematic Hilbert space that injected variation into the evolving universe. Long ago I used to think of back pain as the thermodynamic cold source in the Carnot cycle of discovery described as a Hilbert Oscillator in the Essay on the Divinity of Money and I feel that i am confronting a similar period of discovery now. The essay saved much Bulga Forest
by helping Wingham Forest Action introduce the precautionary principle into scientific decision making and now I am beginning to see a way to introduce the same sort of precaution into physics and perhaps set in motion the implementation of Barrow and Tipler's Final Anthropic Principle [ie give it the energy needed to transform from kinematics to dynamics]. Barrow & Tipler (1996): The Anthropic Cosmological Principle, Richard Feynman (1988): QED: The Strange Story of Light and Matter, Kenneth G Wilson (1982): Nobel Lecture: The Renormalisation Group and Critical Phenomena, Kerson Huang (2013): A Critical History of Renormalization, Jeffrey Nicholls (1992): An essay on the divinity of money, Jeffrey Nicholls (1992a): An essay on value, NSW Land and Environment Court (1994): Jeffrey Nicholls v Director General National Parks and Wildlife Service No. 10151 of 1994
Now I see the Hilbert Oscillstor operating inside the initial singularity as a kinematic machine and working inside every particle descended from this singularity.This is my replacement foe the perturbation series and the fluctuations that currently form the foundation of field theory. The Minkowski metric is the physical implementation of logical continuity via the null geodesics that carry particles with their Hilbert space contents from point to point in the Universe establishing dynamic logical continuity. My blessed state is emphasized by the continuity of my ideas since that fateful day when I left my beloved parents and entered the gloomy halls of the Dominican novitiate in Camberwell, Victoria.
What we want to do id to get the same results of the quantum computational model as we got from the fluctuation and normalization model [which seems to mean that we devise a quantum operator to implement the path integral to mimi what we may suspect happens in reality].
It is easy to know that the Catholic Church needs reform becasue it is out of touch with reality. The problem
[page 17]
is more difficult with quantum field theory because it is very much in touch with reality through hundreds of billions of dollars worth of research and equal or greater amounts spent on nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons and delivery systems, including submarines, all of which seem to work quite well apart from the technologies developed to interrupt nuclear attack which are hard to tesst. What is my problem then? To put is simply, Wilczek's book irritted me becasue it seems to go far beyond the data and invoke explanations and results I do not like. But who am I to complain? What is the real heart of my objection to QFT, or more to the point, what am I going to do to improve it to the point where I am happy with it, and is there really anything I can do about it? The central platform of my proposed improvements is to attribute to the Universe the same mathematical insights and methods as are used by physicists to achieve a synthesis of physics and theology, something like Barrow and Tipler's final anthropic principle: "Intelligent information processing must come into existence inthe Universe and once it come into existence it will never die out." My addition to this is that intelligent information processing has been there al along [insofar as evolution intelligently develops intelligent algorithms for survival]. I am going to go through the rest of B&T taking notes to stabilize this picture in my ind before I write the final draft of CC23_quantum_field and cc24_chromodynamics.

Reading my notes on B&T I see the cognitive paradigm well established in 2015 when I first read them 8 years ago. What progress have I made since then [introducing a comprehensive use of evolution to make an empty god into a Universe]?

The needle I need to thread is to conceive quantum field theory in terms of quantum computation and communication with minimal or negligible change to the actual mathematical structures, just some new interpretation. This program can begin in cc22_network_QED and continuing through cc23 and cc24, echoing O'Murchu and Polkinghorne. I still want to say a bit about the distinction between kinematics, dynamics and quantum fluctuation however. Diamuid O'Murchu (1997): Quantum Theology : Spiritual Implications of the New Physics, John Polkinghorne (2008): Quantum Physics and Theology: An Unexpected Kinship
It is becoming apparent that the conversion of physics from the quantum/newtonian model to the cognitive/logical model is a major project that I have achieved as far as cc21_matter_spirit which establishes the link between theology and physicd. The next steps, bringing quantum field theory into the fold is a project for which I should set asside a year (my home-made postdoc) So perhaps cognitive cosmlogy can stop at cc22 snd I write a conclusion predficting the work necessary to finish ti program and reap the

Back to B & T
My guess is that Feynman's path integral is just another way of saying that each complete operation between two particles is measured by one integral quantum of action. As in general relativity, the only points that we can identify are events, the meetings of particles. There is no evidence available for what goes on in empty space even though field theory is built on the fiction that space is full. The invariants in the natural world, which Parmenides would like us to identify, are the invariants of meetings.
No, back to Einstrein page 112. Minkowski space is a global symmetry which is proken by local gravitation, just as quantum phase is a global symmetry broken locally (in the case of electromagnetism) by thr pahse carried by photons ( U(1) ). In more compoex (Yang-mills) situations, the inforation carriers that establish local symmetries have greater dimension, SU(2), SU(3). In gravitation the global Minkowski symmetry is made local by the metric ds2 = gμ&nu>dxμdxν, tensor gμν>(x) which adjusts the local geometry of spacetime

The computational paradigm does not like this because changing the energy, that is the speed of execution of a logical computational process does not change the outcome, it just gets the same answer faster. This weekend I have been having the usual crisis of confidence about cognitive cosmogenesis, partly reinforced by all the numerical estimates in B & T which seem to work so well in the standard arithmetical approach to physics. Of course it is very easy to compute arithmetic , but I think I am looking for something deeper which is escaping me in all the fog of the field theory as we have it [so maybe should look at it from the opposite direction and wonder why physical behaviour scales with energy, that is with speed of execution, which makes it look as though physical processes are a juggling act which work better at high speed, probabilistic rather than deterministic like computation].
B & T: 'qualitative obstacle' to unification may be overcome by logic and computation: how can we unify interactions which act upon different and disjoint classes of elementary particle [ie there are 'algorithmic gaps']?
[page 24]
Electromagnetic and weak interactions govern leptons. Lepons conserve lepton number. Strong interaction quarks and gluons conserve baryon number, but quarks and gluons do not have lepton number. Electro-weak and strong interactions cannot be unified unless quarks can turn into leptons and vice versa.

' [This chapter] has shown us in a rough way where natural selection stops. It has enabled us to separate those aspects of nature which we should regard as coincidences from those which are consequences of fundamental forces and the values of the constant of Nature. We have also been abe to ascertain which invariant combinations of physical constants play a key role in making the existence of intelligence possible.'
Of course I hold that creative intelligence, in the form of evolution, has existed from the beginning and has determined all those constant of nture. My first efforts in this direction are the attribution of Minkowsli space and h to logical action. Now I have to explain QED, QFT and QCD usinbg my methodology and finding sources for the strutures and processes that we observe, possibly proceeding in the order given, QED, QFT, QCD akong a line of complexification, differentiation and stability. Hope is not yet lost.
[page 25]
We can circumvent all thr detail in B & T on teo counts. First, a lot of it is probably out of date: (1986, 37 years ago); and the fact that we are here plus the assumption of the initial sigularity abd the existnce of evolution meand thst evolution has taken care of all the problems along the way. We can elaborate on this as a preface to cc22_network_QED to cc24_chromodynamics. As I noted on today;s walk, my theory can deal with all the new data and theories as they turn up since the initial singularity + evolution + consistency takes care of everything and can accommodate the idea of cognitive cosmogenesis to cure the deficits of infinity etc in the current theory. I do not need to keep taking myself to the brink of despair to create certainty becasue like a good scholastic I have cooked up a self fulfilling prophecy. Nevertheless I will finish rading B & T.

'This can be restated as the oddness problem. The laws of physics [they say] create a natural timescale for cosmological modeld tp = 10-43 sec. The fact that our universe has existed for at least 1060 tp suggest that there is something very unusual and improbable
