Dear Jonathan,
With great interest I read your essay, which of course is worthy of high rating.
I share your aspiration to seek the truth
«But scientists now think space itself must have a microscopic and quantum mechanical structure, like a fabric with an amazing weave that knits space and time together.»
I agree with you
«I assert that nature puts the looming realities of higher Math to work automatically, because they help set nature in motion, and keep it on course toward ideal or optimal goals.»
«So it is easy to forget that every object is the product of a process by which it came to be, and that ongoing processes maintain its form - giving it specific properties.»
«geometry enters the calculation in an organic way.»
«I see the most recent void discovery as further evidence that the universe is fractal at all scales.»
I wish you success in the contest.
Kind regards,
Vladimir
