My problem is that I am paddling in a pool with geniuses and finding it very hard to keep up. I cannot understand them but to some extent I get their feeling. Today's job it to make Minkowski space out of bosons and fermions after quantum mechanics has delivered generalized state vectors representing bosons and fermions out of its search for stationary eigenvectors in this state. The resulting classes of particles, working as a network of sources (massive fermions) and messengers (massless bosons) explains and implements the metric of kinematic Minkowski space as a constraint on the dynamic particles created by the gravitational injection of energy into quantum state vectors. We then need these ideas to explain the Dirac equation [in order to get out of the corner I have been painting myself into ever since I decided that Hilbert space underlies Minkowski space]. A ring of words sounding quite plausible but can we find a reality to conform with them to create a reversible quantum cycle rather like thar cooked up in the papers leading to the 1994 Nicholls vs NSW NOWS case? One beauty of advancing old age is that almost everything zi did, although it did not seem to good at the time, but every act was in effect a move in the path that has eventually led me to here. Meanwhile in the street someone is abusing someone as usual. I will go out for a bit of retail therapy and see what is going on.

Two stage creation: first noise to music via quantum mechanics; then from music to reality via [energy from] gravitation.

Einstein Herbert Spencer: "We honour ancient Greece as the cradle of western science. She for the first tike created the intellectual miracle of logical system, the assertions of which followed one from another with such rigour that not one of the demonstrated propositions admitted of the slightest doubt—Euclid's geometry. This marvellous accomplishment of reason gave the human spirit the confidence it needed for its future achievements, , , , But yet the time was not yet ripe for a science that could comprehend reality, was not ripe until until a second elementary truth had been realized which only became common property of philosophers after Kepler and Galileo.vPure logical thinking can give no knowledge whatsoever of the world of experience; all knowing of reality begind=s with experience and terminates with it," . . .

"But if we conceive Euclid's geometry as the science of the possibilities of the relative placing of actual rigid bodies and accordingly interpret it as a physical science and do not abstract from its original empirical content, the logical parallelism of geometry and theoretical physics is complete" NO he has left the music out, the waves upon the linear surface of the flexible and incompressible water.

[page 318]

Einstein page 166: Newton only touched the surface and needed no insight.

[page 318]

Einstein page 166: "This indicates that any attempt logically to derive the basic concepts and laws of mechanics from the ultimate data of experience is doomed to failure." What about Euclid. <.p>

page 167: The [dynamic] physical world is represented as a four-dimensional continuum. NO : naked gravitation is continuous but not 4D [no quantum yet] . Minkowski is 4D but not continuous. Dirac used the gamma matrices to linearize special relativity. How do we o the other way, to create Minkowski space [ie relativity from Hilbert space]?

The greatest evil the Church did to me [and billions of other] was to make sex dirty, therefore setting the pornography industry in motion.

page 168: "In the paucity of the mathematically existent simple field-types an the relations between them lies the justification for the theorists' hope that he may comprehend reality in its depths.

A field (physical) is a structure built on a space. Quantium field theory makes the mistake of treating Hilbert space as a field in Minkowski space whereas it is a space in its own right and if anything Minkowski space is a field in Hilbert space.

Einstein again: "The most difficult point for such a field theory at present is how to include the atomic structure

[page 319]

matter and energy." Big mistake not to start with the quantum one cycle of a wave, 2π around the polar complex plane.

Minkowski space is just the skin and does not tell us about the microscopic anatomy and physiology ocurring beneath [the skin]

Einstein page 168: "— the space functions which appear in the equations make no claim to be mathematical models of atomic objects. These functions are only supposed to determine in a mathematical way the probabilities of encountering these objects in a particular place at a particular time."

This is not really a criticism. That is all Newton's theory and classical mechanics in general tell us about the Earth and the Moon. As I watch women kissing and making love I only have the classical view but I know that under their skins there is an enormous electrodynamic symphony of trillions and trillions of atoms under the guidance of common DNA working together to create this loving scene [and the feelings inside the participants].

"unfortunately it forces us to employ a continuum of which the number of dimensions is not that of the previous physics, namely 4, but which has dimensions increasing without limit as the number of particles constituting the system under examination increases. No different from the [classical] theory of gases.

[page 320]

We are saying that the Schrödinger equaion is good enough in Hilbert space where there is not space-time but when we go to Minkowski space we need something invariant like the Dirac equation. What we are also saying is that the evolutionary approach to quantum mechanics produces two classes of particles, massless bosons and massive fermions and then these interact the result is Minkowski spaee, with a null geodesic for the bosons and three dimensions [and spin] for the fermions, and we want to know how this transition forces the Dirac equation on us. The transformation that introduces space-time.

Am I working my way toward some new understanding. [What was the Universe thinking when it invented spacetime?]. We have gone from a formally infinite dimensional space to 4D, a event something like quantum mechanics thinning Hilbert noise down to particulate music. Dirac equation breaks into four distinct Schrödinger equations (?).

Just waiting for the key insight to emerge from my quantum brain.If I do not get it soon I will go on with the next easy chapter.

Standard QFT says the space creates the particles but the idea that the particles create the space [seems more attractive]. Me, as a space, is a creation of all my atoms and my life (spirit, soul, first act of an organic, ie dynamic body) occupies this space driven kinematically,

[page 321]

by my physiological metabolism.

The attempt to make the Schrödinger equation work in Newtonian spacetime has overloaded it with energy,momentum and time. It is in fact a kinematic eigenvalue equation operating on vectors of countable length and the definitions of time and energy in the matrix operator H have no meaning in Newtonian space. It is a formal linear vector operator in Hilbert space and taking it into Minkowski space makes little sense. Maybe Dirac has just gone a long way round to invent spinors in 4 linear eigenvalue equations which are connected by the Minkowski metric as Dirac discovered when we get into Minkowski space. This is a step forward, clearing a major misconception of treating Hilbert space as a field on Minkowski space, as quantum field theory does, rather than the other way around. All Kuhlman's troubles come from putting the cart before the horse and making the whole rg unstable and impractical.

We want to know what the vectors corresponding to bosons and fermions look like in Hilbert space, ie we are looking for the relevant operator whose spectrum includes all possible photons [or at least the operator that generates a photon when an electron changes its orbit].

The only information we get out of experiments is an eigenvalue and we have to devise an operator and an eigenvector

[page 322]

to deliver it, ie we do not have much to go on Photons have two eigenvalues, frequency and polarization. The electrons have mass, spin, charge, magnetic moment and that is all. These are the values they bring to all their meetings. How does the Dirac equation characterize them

Still trying to work out the consequences of placing Hilbert space under the Minkowski field. Is this the way to think of it? A field is a range built on a spatial domain. What does it mean that the digital features of Hilbert space show in Minkowski space as Δx . Δt ≈ h etc. How do we rewrite a 'field theory; that has Hilbert domain, built of periodic fiunctions and linear superposition yielding Minkowski metric/ Two questions: 1. rewrite cc12_hilbert_minkowski as a discussion of minkowski field built on Hilbert space; and 2.Change order of cognitive cosmology in line with cognitive cosmogenesis book. Will add another week to the book, maybe, but easier done there where the new arrangements are already in place. On the other hand I am free to write 5000 words in cc12_Hilbert_Minkowski _II so I can lt my ever growing hair further down. Conclusion: time is of the essence, experiment in the book [date the new version of chapter 17 Gravitation + pearticles = Minkowski space.

My life has been upended many times but on the whole it has

[page 323]

been steady progression in a fixed direction that was set by my mother when she subtley encouraged me to join the Dominican Oder and become a theologian. Aer a few yers I saw that the role for me was to become a new Thomas Aquinas and despite the fact that I as very average in the intellectual spectrum, this vocation has continued to provide me with excellent new insights from the day I saw that Bernard Lonergan was wrting rubbish and got myself thrown out of the Dominican Order.

The latest episode came when I moved to Adelaide to say goodbye to my mother and father and my youngest sister. I went to Adelaide University and wrote an honours thesis, Prolegomena to Scientific Theology which did not get a good result but reinforces my direction. In the four years since then I have written the website cognitive cosmology and now I am turning it into a book and revising as I go, gradually getting deeper insight into Hilbert space and the evolutionary intelligence of the divine universe.

The first step in the explanation of spacetime id to explain time, numerus motus secundum, prius et posterius the implmentasion of logic. The only resources we have to create time are the random action of an omnipotent agent and the principle

[page 324]

of contradiction.

In chapter 5 of MFQM von Neumann seems to fail to see that there is no space or time in Hilbert space when he is discussion measurement and reversibility (II_General considerations page 6 = page 231 of the document); '. . . the chief weakness of quantum mechanics: the theory is non-relativistic: it distinguishes the time t from the three space coordinates x, y, z and presupposes an objective simultaneity concept. In fact, while all other quantities (especially those x, y, z—so closely related to t by Lorentz transformation) are represented by operators, there corresponds to t not an operator T but an ordinary parameter t just as in classical mechanics.'

Time is intimately connected to causality via the space-time diagram and the principle of contradiction says that real time cannot go backwards, whereas the kinematic operator in Hilbert space that governs phase can go both ways [just as we can show a film backwards even though we cannot live backwards]. The only parameter in Hilbert space is time [or frequency represented by basis states] which is why Dirac found that he could apply the Lagangian [as an exponent in an exponential]. P. A. M. Dirac (1933): The Lagrangian in Quantum Mechanics

Time is ultimately connected causality via the space-time diagram and the principle of contradiction which says that real time cannot go backwards whereas the kinematic per/ in Hilbert space that governs phase and superposition in Hilbert space can go both ways. The only parameter in Hilbert space is time which is why Dirac found he could apply the Lagrangian.

Now we have made time primordial so the new Hilbert space is now dynamic [or should it be kinematic?] represented by complex numbers. Does this make chapter 11 create-hilbert a bit superfluous?

[page 325]

Time is the creator,basis frequency and the frequency of insight

Chapter 16: Time is primordial so the Hilbert space is primordial, finding linear operators and the creation of particles.

Chapter 17: We now have time, fermions and bosons, the resources to make Minkowski space. How - exclusion principle - plus null geodesic? We will have it in the morning.

The creation of Hilbert basis vectors are ticks in time and many of them may be duplicates and the maximum of the orthogonal ones will be ℵ0

Von N: p 232: ' . . . every xperiment culminates in the emission of a light quantum or a particle, with a certain energy in a certain direction. Characteristics of the emitted quantum / particles — its momentum and coordinates of the point where it (the "pointer) comes to rest comprise the results of the experiment.

Chapter 17: on hold. Chapter 18 tick

Shafer on Swagger: Politico: Jack Shafer (2024): The Collapse of the News Industry Is Taking Its Soul Down With It

The view is gradually emerging that the material world id the source of the spirit as well as recording it..

Chapter 19: tick; Chapter 20: tick; Chapter 21: tick; Chapter 22: tick;

[page 326]

The view is gradually emerging that the material world is the source of the spirit as well as recording it. The Bible is less than a million words, (say E7 bytes) The amount of information that can be Stored in a silicon chip a millimetre square and a micrometer thick, a truly giggantic sructure compared to an atom. the whole of chjristian spirituality is embodied in the bibke. so how big is the spirit of the universe?

Wheat pollen 6 GB in 40 micrometer cube , ie 64E-18 cubic metres, say E-16 cubic metres, ie say E10 /E-16 = E26 bytes per cubic metre, E20 bytes per gram. (1 kilogram bible holds E4 bytes per gram).

Space is where superposition is impossible, the Pauli exclusion principle. Time is where superposition is inevitable since the length of null geodesics in spacetime is 0 even though they can last for billions of years carrying a photon from the singularity to here in my room (if I had a suitable microwave receiver to see them).

I wake with the fey feeling that I have been led by the nose since I was about 15 (in a manner somewhat derived from my mother) by my guardian angel of genius (not so intelligent, but motivated) to kick against the culture than embraced me, embedded in Constantine's theological-military Church to reform theology and the role of humanity in the cosmos and that I am actually making some progress, which I never thought

[page 327]

in the beginning when I entered the totally weird world of medieval monasticism, and totally did not fit in, was thrown out and now have a new rather glorious view of the world I have been discovering amid my disappointments. I feel that i have always tried to do the right thing but have come up against dead ends which I have had to reject one by one to see that life in the material world can actually be spiritual and pleasant. All this comes from revising page 21 of the site, chapter 23 of the book, as I plunge into the last part of the site where I finally see that it is necessary, for my project of uniting theology and physics to reject quantum field theory and embrace the intelligent power of quantum mechanics embedded in von Neumanns discovery of the creative power of linear operators in Hilbert space and a true interpretation of the music of the spheres. I will leave chapter 23 for a day and plough ahead into chapter 24 (page 22). My journey has been from the Trinity to the orgasmic power of reproduction embedded in the initial singularity and I can see the future of sex in marketing theology with its downside in the male killing of women through jealousy [and fear] in the spiritual power that has been embedded in Christian culture by locking them away in convents.

In cosmic sex the orgasm comes when gravitation finally provides energy to the quantum kinematic stationary vector to make it dynamic, [most spectacularly in supernovas]. We have here an application of symmetry with respect to complexity.

A theorem we would like to prove is that a superposition of random normalized frequencies would yield a stationary state, ie a calm surface (or something like that) The key to quantum mechanics lies in periodicity and we can imagine that any function, even a discontinuous one, can be represented by Fourier series.se God created the integers pp 519 sqq,. Stephen Hawking (2007): God Created the Integers

I have been working on the project now flat out for six years since I got to Adelaide and my normal day is 2 shifts, 7am to 3 pm, a snooze, 4pm to midnight. I am not working on it every minute but pretty solidly. So today I have had a day off, visited my Auntie and had flu and covid injections, long sleep till 8 pm and a good think about what I am doing and the effects of publication. I have 4 of the 28 chapters of the book to go and would like to submit the manuscript. 60 k words by the end of the month and I am feeling quite confident and have got all the bases covered, looking forward to a bit of hostile interrogation if this should ever happen for the first time since my last few years in the Order where I regularly defended my position with the Master of Studies, a new and exciting venture in my life.

My great strength is that I am a person with no demands on my time to explore my new theology and try to render it consistent with physics, the fundamental source of star (by physics I include all the empirical sciences that observe my god)

Another step in the task of turning physics and theology upside down is to turn the spin-statistics around, showing that it is not a consequence of special relativity but special relativity is a consequence of spin-statistics and quantum mechanics, the first bifurcation, after the bifurcation of naked gravitation into kinetic and potential energy to make quantum stationary points [potentially] dynamic, and the two features spin, one turn and two turns, This idea works around Dirac's equation and should first be worked out at length in chapter 24: cosmic theology - the creation of the matter that bears the spirit.

I was so priud of my bit of coding when I wrote a script to put references on my web pages but now I

[page 330]

find Apple have stolen it off my computer and put in on the cloud and it does not work any more. So a wasted day getting everything off the coud and getting rid of it to save $60 per year. The walled garden syndrome again. So I have lost a bit of momentum, but things are not as bad as they were in the old days when layout was all cutting and sticking. So I am also a bit at sea about writing the book. I think the union of physics and theology demands the rejection of quantum field theory and the fact that information is physical leads to the position that spirituality is a consequence of materiality.

Hopefully gradually repairing the icloud damage and restoring my computers to the usefulness they had before icloud pulled them to bits. All good practice at disaster recovery I suppose. I just have to relax a bit and while cognitive cosmology is somewhat inaccessible work on "the Book".

Ghosh (2024), Amitav , Smoke and Ashes: Opium's Hidden Histories, John Murray Press 2024 Smoke and Ashes is at once a travelogue, memoir and a history, drawing on decades of archival research. In it, Ghosh traces the transformative effect the opium trade had on Britain, India, and China, as well as the world at large. The trade was engineered by the British Empire, which exported Indian opium to sell to China and redress their great trade imbalance, and its revenues were essential to the Empire's financial survival. Yet tracing the profits further, Ghosh finds opium at the origins of some of the world's biggest corporations, of America's most powerful families and prestigious institutions (from the Astors and Coolidges to the Ivy League), and of contemporary globalism itself.

Jack Shafer (2024), The Collapse of the News Industry Is Taking Its Soul Down With It , ' Wounded and limping, doubting its own future, American journalism seems to be losing a quality that carried it through a century and a half of trials: its swagger. Swagger is the conformity-killing practice of journalism, often done in defiance of authority and custom, to tell a true story in its completeness, no matter whom it might offend. It causes some people to subscribe and others to cancel their subscriptions, and gives journalists the necessary courage and direction to do their best work. Swagger was once journalism’s calling card, but in recent decades it’s been sidelined. In some venues, reporters now do their work with all the passion of an accountant, and it shows in their guarded, couched and equivocating copy. Instead of relishing controversy, today’s newsrooms shy away from publishing true stories that someone might claim cause “harm” — that modern term that covers all emotional distress — or even worse, which could offend powerful interests.' back

Kevin Foster (2024), Exploitation, brutality and misery: how the opium trade shaped the modern world, ' Ghosh claims it was not a conceptual breakthrough that brought him back to the book, but the evidence of the Earth’s vitality, embodied in the potency of a single plant, the opium poppy, and broadly reflected in the effects of climate change. In the face of climbing temperatures, rising sea levels and increasingly destructive storms, it is clear to Ghosh that humankind is headed for a painful reckoning. He contends that we have suffered through this lesson before, yet failed to profit from it. His record of humankind’s efforts to make the opium poppy an instrument of political and economic power becomes a compelling parable of our collective failure to treat the natural world with the respect it commands and learn from painful experience that those who sow the wind reap the whirlwind. As its subtitle indicates, Smoke and Ashes is principally a study of opium, its industrial-scale cultivation and processing by the East India Company in India, and its export to, and imposed receipt of, the finished product by China. The book excels in this analysis, Ghosh’s mastery of his considerable secondary sources laying bare the gobsmacking scale of the company’s perfidy. back

P. A. M. Dirac (1933), The Lagrangian in Quantum Mechanics, ' . . . there is an alternative formulation [to the Hamiltonian] in classical dynamics, provided by the Lagrangian. This requires one to work in terms of coordinates and velocities instead of coordinates and momenta. The two formulation are closely related but there are reasons for believing that the Lagrangian one is more fundamental. . . . Secondly the lagrangian method can easily be expressed relativistically, on account of the action function being a relativistic invariant; . . ..

Pratyusha Sharma et al (2024_05_07), Contextual and combinatorial structure in sperm whale vocalisations, ' Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) are highly social mammals that communicate using sequences of clicks called codas. While a subset of codas have been shown to encode information about caller identity, almost everything else about the sperm whale communication system, including its structure and information-carrying capacity, remains unknown. We show that codas exhibit contextual and combinatorial structure. First, we report previously undescribed features of codas that are sensitive to the conversational context in which they occur, and systematically controlled and imitated across whales. We call these rubato and ornamentation. Second, we show that codas form a combinatorial coding system in which rubato and ornamentation combine with two context-independent features we call rhythm and tempo to produce a large inventory of distinguishable codas. Sperm whale vocalisations are more expressive and structured than previously believed, and built from a repertoire comprising nearly an order of magnitude more distinguishable codas. These results show context-sensitive and combinatorial vocalisation can appear in organisms with divergent evolutionary lineage and vocal apparatus. back
