I agree with Tegmark's MUH, and have written a paper defining a class of mathematical structure, and a particular mathematical set, which seems to have emergent properties matching our Universe.

The set has quantised space and time which are themselves emergent, and emergent phenomena such as spacetime warping consistent with gravity and dark energy. It has early behaviour similar to inflation. It dynamically creates universes with three space dimensions and dark matter. The dark matter feature constitutes a fifth level in Tegmark's Level IV Multiverse, which makes this mathematical set more likely to be the one we are in.

I submitted it to Foundations of Physics citing Tegmark's paper, and received a strange response: "The author of this manuscript fails to make clear how his/her work relates to current discussions in the foundations of physics. This is not a judgement about the quality of the contents of the submission, but, regrettably, does place the submission outside the scope of Foundations of Physics. Perhaps a theoretical physics journal would be more suitable?"

I would appreciate some feedback, and have included the paper as an attachment.

Yours sincerely,

    Here is a link to the paper. I think it needs to be downloaded to see the video portion.

    Hello,

    I have made a 26 minute video to explain my version of the MUH on my YouTube channel. It's called 'Universe on a T-Shirt AKA How Nothing = Everything' - Meat on the Bones of the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis. Link below:

    The hypothesis predicts that:

    a) Dark Energy is a warp caused by Entropy information, just like Gravity is a warp caused by Energy information.

    b) One dimension of Space is warped by Energy and Entropy information - in the extreme cases forming Black Holes and Cosmic Rips, which each dynamically add a Space dimension, forming 3D space.

    c) This 3D Space further warps to an infinite dimensional space, Matter in these higher dimensions would seem like Dark Matter to us, and the fractal structure means the infinte copies make this type of universe most likely, so we are in a typical universe.

    Hi FQXi !

    The mathematical abstraction considered in this paper is a continuum. This is an attempt to complement the relational view of physics with the concept of a continuum.

    To read the article correctly, you need to understand and accept a relational position in physics: Relational quantum mechanics, information-theoretical approach to the interpretation of QM, Qbism and similar ones. The paper is based on this point of view. We consider the continuum as a non-relational entity in relational physical reality.

    English is not my native language. This is a translation of my work. I tried to do my best and I am sure that everything will be clear. The idea is very simple, just a little unintuitive. Nevertheless, the language still worries me. If you see incorrect use of English, please email me. Thanks.

    The article is attached. Hope you enjoy it and happy to receive any comments.Attachment #1: Relational_physics_and_the_concept_of_the_continuum_300721.pdf
