Once I used to construct houses. Now I construct sentences

Contact and causality are established in Hilbert space where quantum mechanics is the theory of computation and communication. An error free communication is a computation whose output is identical to its input but located at a different point in spacetime. Computation thus defines spacetime symmetry. Compare Einstein's "Nobel Lecture". The explanations of asymptotic freedom and confinement relate to observation but I do not know how: just a valuable hunch.

Quantum is uncertain in the continuous measured world but absolutely certain in the logical world.

Another principle: "Wilderness is the most peaceful state, equivalent to maximum [practical] entropy and stability". We want to apply this to asymptotic freedom and confinement by some sort of analogy with orbits in gravitation and closure on the Universe and god, which connects in some way to logical confinement which is bound by maximum entropy arising from complete independence, the upper limit to possibility.

[page 100]

The key to the interpretation of QM is that it is a conversation in Hilbert space between particles.

Waves Hilbert / particles classical. Waves / speech, particles / object. Nyquist - Shannon : the interface between waves and things. Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem - Wikipedia

The plan therefore must be to connect quantum computation and quantum communication to quantum field theory on the hypothesis that everything that happens in field theory is connected and so computed in Hilbert space and from there becomes real and classical via (perhaps) the mechanisms I have proposed for the evolution via variation in Hilbert space and selection by quantum theory: page 17: Gravitation and quantum theory—in the beginning.

In the words of my father, the essence of production is to produce something presentable, that is something that serves as a gift. I would like my theological ideas to be a gift to the world.

Begin with gravitation as an omnino simplex divinity and then build the Universe with Hilbert quantum mechanics, zero sum bifurcation of gravitation to Minkowski space and Einstein.

Happy birthday to me. What I see now is that time is quantum theoretical [and linear ?], space is Euclidean [simple 3D orthogonal, in some way a derivative of Hilbert] and when we combine them we come up with Minkowski space [the backbone of the Universe]. We model the initial singularity as an omnipotent empty set whose first creation is time, that is a sequence or orthogonal events which we represent as Hilbert space [interpreted formally as sequential steps each one one quantum of action, the procession of one copy of the divinity, becoming in effect energy]. This space we may say is in perpetual motion divinity, the omnipotence of the naked gravitation which drives the kinematic action of time. The advent of quantum mechanics and Hermitian operators superposes this kinematic machinery on itself, creating a new generation of fixed points, eigenvalues which serve to bifurcate naked gravitation into potential and kinetic energy which gives rise to Minkowski space and real particles. These initial divinities are described by Einstein's general theory and have the power to multiply themselves into a Universe of more and more complex systems relieved from the no-cloning theorem by the spatial differentiation described in

cc23_network_QED (photons and electrons), cc24_trans_minkowski and cc25_chromodynamics. The story is beginning to fit together and become at least as credible as quantum field theory.

The plan is that the initial singularity creates a new dynamic initial singularity within itself [as the Father mentally creates the Son and then brings them to be in reality] and continues to do this as infinitum and its children also reproduce in the same way, each carrying with it an associated Hilbert space [mind] through which it communicates via zero mass bosons if it is a fermion. What is the difference between a fermion (two state) and a boson and how do these relate to Minkowski space, ie how to we run the spin-statistics theorem backwards [like a codec]? Is there a conservation law operating here? One quantum inverts a fermion. One quantum creates or annihilates a photon. One photon can annihilate into two fermions, electron and positron [zero-sum bifurcation]. We have to produce a story about this in cc23_network_QED which must involve the Dirac equation and the interactions between photons and electrons which we understand to be a simplified version of the interaction between quarks and gluons which appears to be [2x] 3D rather than [2x] 1D.

In day to day life one anticipates various actions (ie meetings) with various degrees of anticipation which comprise a spectrum running from life and death, ie potential annihilation, to peaceful and

routine events like doing the dishes. In my life the most difficult interactions appear to be the rather random emergence or procession of ideas in my mind and the search for words to convert these ideas into fixed forms like these, ie particles. I make these forms of words out of a pre-established vocabulary of 100 thousand or so words, each with a broad spectrum of nuances, that I have learnt in my lifetime. We might represent each word as a matrix or source with a spectrum of expressions with a complete set of probabilities in some sort of normal distribution built of binary selections whose extreme probabilities approach zero.

Ethics is a system of nuancing the life and death probabilities of evolution in directions consistent with larger scale aggregates of individuals, as all the cellular activities in my body are correlated by the genome shared by all my cells. We might apply this sort of thinking to the fates of fermions communicating and so coordinating through bosons.

Cosmic theology describes how we construct a Thalesian world full of Gods from an initial singularity, ie the mechanism through which the Father conceives the Word and the Word becomes flesh, to become a dynamic living mind which conceives further words which become flesh and do on ad infinitum, ie more or less identical to biological reproduction.

Albert Einstein (1923), Nobel Lecture: Fundamental ideas and problems of the theory of relativity, ' The conclusion is obvious that any arbitrarily moved frame of reference is equivalent to any other for the formulation of the laws of Nature, that there are thus no physically preferred states of motion at all in respect of regions of finite extension (general rel- ativity principle).
The implementation of this concept necessitates an even more profound modification of the geometric-kinematical principles than the special relativity theory. The Lorentz contraction, which is derived from the latter, leads to the conclusion that with regard to a system K’ arbitrarily moved relative to a (gravity field free) inertial frame K, the laws of Euclidian geometry governing the position of rigid (at rest relative to K’) bodies do not apply. Consequently the Cartesian system of coordinates also loses its significance in terms of the stipulation of meaning. Analogous reasoning applies to time; with reference to K’ the time can no longer meaningfully be defined by the indication on identical clocks at rest relative to K’, nor by the law governing the propagation of light. Generalizing, we arrive at the conclusion that gravitational field and metric are only different manifestations of the same physical field.

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors - Wikipedia, Eigenvalues and eigenvectors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, ' In linear algebra, an eigenvector or characteristic vector of a linear transformation is a nonzero vector that changes at most by a scalar factor when that linear transformation is applied to it. The corresponding eigenvalue, often denoted by λ, is the factor by which the eigenvector is scaled. Geometrically, an eigenvector, corresponding to a real nonzero eigenvalue, points in a direction in which it is stretched by the transformation and the eigenvalue is the factor by which it is stretched. If the eigenvalue is negative, the direction is reversed. Loosely speaking, in a multidimensional vector space, the eigenvector is not rotated.' back
