Thank you Ernesto,

I like to think of congruency in terms of self-agreement and one might talk about things that hang together well. I've heard of congruency relating to where a person's thoughts, feelings, and actions are in agreement, and I am extending this idea to forms in general. In theories of process; one regards all stable forms as a process that is in agreement with itself.

People are unreasonably put off by non-linear terms. In some cases, that is where the fun stuff is happening. Just as in painting or baking; the order of terms and the directionality of elements within a process become relevant. As soon as you tell some people they need to use a certain ordering instead of applying the commutative and associative rules; they give up.

On uncertainty; the octonions relation to the projective geometry (the geometry of perspective) gives a tantalizing answer to your query. There is a lot to explain with that, however. More is possible than exists in human philosophy... Food for another essay and then some.

More later,

Jonathan

Hi again Jonathan,

I posted a copy of this to my page, not knowing if you get it there.

Thanks for reading my paper. I don't know why you called it a revised version as it was never revised.

An ideal response for me would be of someone willing to read and discuss the whole model. That type of analysis could be worth some money to me. You mentioned finding misses and flubs, but I don't think you would find them upon really understanding the pieces of the model. A willing analyst could try applying the words to math equations for some of the pieces. My papers aren't that far off especially for geometry. Actually one of my published papers is in AIP JMP - journal of mathematic physics. That was 2013 and I get dozens of organizations per year that reference the work there.

You are wrong about the push being automatic with the universe inside out and vacuum plus expansion. The universe is stable and the push comes from flowing EM radiation throughout. Light for example is created and diminishes via gravity (involved).

I don't understand this sentence which you also used before. 'As Eddington pointed out; the only real accommodation in going from Newtonian gravity to Relativity theory is that lines of force converge at a radius rather than to a point. 'In any case both systems are wrong.

I have some knowledge of Faraday and his feed of ideas to Maxwell. In any case if there is more work to do to make this a complete theory someone has to explain it. Clearly math is limited here, but there are no motion differences (except for c) that need to be compared. The reality is that math connects subsets of a cosmology to its parent. But a completely new cosmology doesn't connect in many actions so math is simply a stumbling block to protect the questionable standard model.

The effort of thought conversion is too complex and difficult so few read and ponder this whole perspective. I realize you are a mathematician but might you have any ongoing interest?

    Thanks much Paul,

    I appreciate your continuing the conversation. I'll keep trying to have an open mind too.

    Best,

    Jonathan

    For what it is worth...

    I did consider a re-write but I thought this paper was nicely polished already. So instead I wrote a few more papers - what I might have said if... - and then submitted them for publication in Prespacetime. I still have one more on the "Unit Cell of Quantum Gravity" that would have been a nice addition to this field. But it isn't finished yet. The essay I did upload was ready in plenty of time, though I might have given a little more time to a grant proposal instead.

    The Covid-19 pandemic has hit me hard, though my health has been good. When my father passed on Mar. 25, everything stopped for a while, or continued in spurts, but now I can begin some steady progress toward reading the remaining essays. I may also post links to more related content, create a video or two highlighting the work featured in my essay, and so on. I will let you all know here.

    More later,

    Jonathan

    Thanks, for taking another look. Your comments are always incisive. Hard crowd this year. Your score, so far, doesn't accurately represent a superior effort. From personal experience, Much more ambushing this year.

    Dear Jonathan Dickau,

    Yesterday you commented my "essay" (Concentration and tessellation in quantized space). At first I couldn't understand your comment (What is "Loll" and "Ambjorn"? And what is "causal dynamical triangulations or energetic causal sets"?).

    But an hour ago I tried Google and I am really surprised. I never had heard of the work of Renate Loll and Jan Ambjørn. I suppose I have a lot to read now... ;-))

    Anyway, I am really thankful that you wrote that comment. I didn't know that there are other physicists who are involved in the same type of research as I have always done.

    With kind regards, Sydney

      Jonathan,

      I read your essay and gave you a decent score. The Mandelbrot set in principle contains an infinite amount of information. This is even though it is generated by the rather simple iteration of s --> z(z + 1). Points that converge to 0 are marked as black and those points after so many iterations come close or within some distance are color coded. There are some rather spectacular videos of the Mandelbrot set out there.

      The Mandelbrot set has these branches on it that have spirals with 3, 5, 8, 13 etc numbers of petals coming off. This is a Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is of course identified with a number П† = (1 + в€љ5)/2 My essay does invoke the idea of fractal geometry in the formation of unital sets. These sets are p-adic. For the Fibonacci sequence we can look at this in a mod(8) system and this gives the primes 2, 3, 5 and we can then reduce this system to these p-adic rings. I choose 8 because that is the sequence for Bott periodicity. Lurking behind this are Cantor sets and fractal geometry.

      I attach a picture I took recently of a flower that has Fibonacci structure.

        Thank you Lawrence!

        I like the photo. I have a fondness for the cinnamon fern myself because the self-similarity is pretty obvious. Maybe I'll take a photo when they finish sprouting. I thought your essay was pretty impressive this year. Thanks for taking the time to read mine.

        Best,

        JJD

        Thank you for your kind regard Sydney...

        I am glad I was able to bring some inspiration and cue you in to others who are doing similar work as professional scientists. There is a wealth of material out there to explore. You should be at some of the same conferences as those experts.

        Best,

        Jonathan

        Dear Jonathan Dickau,

        I have read your essay with a big smile. Personally I admire explanations about abstract subjects that are supported by a "tangible" concept to transform the arguments like clothes that express the personality of a person. Your essay describes ideas that can easily be extended to a number of articles on FQXi's website. For example, the discussion about the origin of consciousness is futile if we accept that reality is a fractal or has dominant properties that create a fractal-like structure.

        I will read your essay again within a couple of days because there is more to rethink than I can grasp if I read it only once.

        With kind regards, Sydney

          Dear Jonathan,

          Glad to read your work again.

          I greatly appreciated your work and discussion. I am very glad that you are not thinking in abstract patterns.

          While the discussion lasted, I wrote an article: "Practical guidance on calculating resonant frequencies at four levels of diagnosis and inactivation of COVID-19 coronavirus", due to the high relevance of this topic. The work is based on the practical solution of problems in quantum mechanics, presented in the essay FQXi 2019-2020 "Universal quantum laws of the universe to solve the problems of unsolvability, computability and unpredictability".

          I hope that my modest results of work will provide you with information for thought.

          Warm Regards, `

          Vladimir

            Thank you again Sydney...

            I appreciate your insights. I'll leave another brief comment back on your page.

            Regards,

            Jonathan

            I am glad you enjoyed it Vladimir...

            I have in the past greatly enjoyed reading your papers. It seems like we have a fair amount of common ground in our theoretical landscape. There is not total agreement, but there is certainly a lot on which we can and do agree.

            I have replied to the coronavirus insights back on your page. I think we should evxplore every avenue that might provide relief or lead to a cure. We must be cautious not to do harm, but be emboldened by the severity or urgency of the situation to do more than otherwise we might.

            All the Best,

            Jonathan

            For the benefit of my readers....

            One of the BEST sources of information on Covid-19 I have seen anywhere is the ongoing analysis by mathematician Chris King. You can find his Covid page on Dhushara dot com or follow the link below.

            The Covid-19 / SARS-CoV-2 Papers

            I hope people find this site and info helpful. Please pass it along if you do.

            Regards,

            Jonathan

            Jonathan,

            Here is the Mandelbrot update we talked about via email.

            Get canvas for node.js from GitHub or node, be sure to download to a new folder. Move content of download to the node_module subfolder your scripting files go into downloaded from my fqxi essay last year blog.

            Replace node_moduleNUMBERS.js with new NUMBERS.js from attached.

            A script that will generate a jpeg for the Mandelbrot set is also in the attached, move mpixlog.js to your executable script file folder. If you run this script it will regenerate mpixlog.jpeg. You might want to look at it and/or rename it prior to running script

            RickAttachment #1: mandelbrot_updates.zip

              I guess the windows file folder separator gets dropped. NUMBERS.js in subfolder node_module

              Dear Jonathan

              I thank you for your comments on my page.

              You are right, I said everything in the presentation of my essay, the rest is just an application.

              This kind of "information indigestion" will probably be useful and there will be something left in head of everyone's to think about.

              I could arrange the same "information indigestion" with elementary particles, but I chose the solar system so that I could visualize what each spectral line of an atom is in reality, where their analogues exist, instead of abstractions of quantum mechanics. And then it will be clear that the whole Universe functions according to unified quantum laws.

              Gerard't Hooft

              is a man of genius person, so he himself admits that he does not understand what people tell him about their theories and why they say it.

              But he has keywords that can change the whole of science, how Maxwell changed science by creating his own equations, presenting his rotors in the form of simple cogwheel models.

              Gerard't Hooft says:

              "We conclude that the most general model will be described as a set of simple periodic cogwheel models with varying periodicities."

              We need to ask him a question about the number of teeth in his gears. It is possible that he himself will think of the fact that there should be 137 pieces.

              This will be a "shot from a cannon to top of a mountain to turn the potential energy of snow into an avalanche."

              All the Best,

              Vladimir

              Jonathan,

              Thanks for the COVID-19 hyperlink. Yours is one of the superior essays I mentioned to the FQXi administrators that has been under attack. Good luck and regards.
