How are Fermions Assembled?
I was thinking about assembly theory (Sara Imari Walker, Lee Cronin, and their groups) and the idea of selection. We are used to thinking about natural selection when it comes to life forms. Yet nature implements many reaction processes that “select” for the emergent structures. Select is a more abstract word, and I think its…

Tilting Tensorsial Tri-Binaries
I made a new geometry diagram to help folks understand what I am imagining. The angular momentum vectors of the Noether core relate to the frequency and radius of the tri-binary components and hence to time and space. These angular momentum vectors are orders of magnitude different in scale, but still, I suspect they reach…

Sir Roger Penrose : CCC
I could listen to Sir Roger Penrose’s stories and thoughts all day long. I have listened to Dr. Lawrence Krauss’s books on Audible on repeat for days on end. What could be better than a wonderful interview discussion between Lawrence Krause (67) and Sir Roger (90). I hope the point charge era will be able…

Point Charge Cosmology RuleZ!
The math and simulation of emergent nature from point charges is going very well. The insights are emerging so rapidly that it is difficult to jot them all down, much less post about them. My thinking has crystallized regarding the failures of LCDM cosmology. I’ll go through the key concepts in point charge cosmology and…

The Dynamical Geometry of Point Potential Paths
When you imagine point potential assemblies moving through Euclidean time and space, we need a dynamical geometry that can quickly and easily calculate the electric potential and its gradients at any point in Euclidean time and space. When we compute action, we need to know the current location at absolute time Tnow and all intersecting…

J Mark Morris : AITA?
AITA : Acronym for “Am I the asshole?”. 1) A legitimate query. Usually the opening of a lively debate. 2) Also, it can be used in a sarcastic tone to indicate that it is truly someone else who is being mean or unreasonable. Urban Dictionary Yes, I have definitely had my asshole moments and interactions.…

Quasar Distribution and Redshift
I recently wrote about a Dr. Paul Sutter episode in the post titled : Ontological Transformation of the Big Bang. Paul said something in this episode that has been ricocheting around my subconscious and a major insight has dawned upon me that I’ve known for a long time, but couldn’t articulate. The background story is that…

Sara Walker : Life : Lex Fridman
Life energy comes from electrinos and positrinos. J Mark Morris Sara Walker is an astrobiologist and theoretical physicist at Arizona State University who is researching the origins of life. This is a great conversation between Sara Walker and Lex Fridman. I have written some commentary after the video. Sara describes the RNA hypothesis for the…

Big Picture of Point Charge Theory
This is a bit of an eye test, but I’m attempting to show some aspects of how point charge theory relates to existing GR/QM/LCDM theory and re-imagines the universe from this new perspective. As always, observations stand, lots of the existing math is effective, but reinterpretation of narrative is fair game. There is still a…

Ontological Transformation of the Big Bang
Cosmology is way off course due to the crisis in particle physics. However, it is simple to think our way out of this crisis. Check out this video for a quick overview of alternatives to the Big Bang and then I’ll show how we can perform ontological transformations and merge the best ideas from the…

Spin Networks and Foams
In the ongoing quest to explore the mapping between the parsimonious NPQG point charge universe and the patchwork quilt of effective theories of physics, let’s take a quick spin through the landscape of spin networks and spin foams. In physics, a spin network is a type of diagram which can be used to represent states…

Conversations in the Aether
It is challenging to interact on social media about the point charge universe. The dynamics of the social media interaction are often permeated with negativity. Occasionally there are pleasant interactions where I can offer a different perspective. It is a challenge find a balance between sharing ideas and pushing ideas. You can lead a horse…

Dynamical Eight Ball
I’ve been pondering the universe as an infinite collection of dynamic eight balls. “Eight ball” is my new shorthand for an object described by the path of a point charge through continuous Euclidean time and space. There are many relevant historical uses of “eight-ball”. Here are a few. Eight-ball : The object of the game…

Mapping to Spinors
My goal is to make progress on the dynamical geometry and simulation with NPQG and the point charge universe. Part of that effort is to continue to explore the linkages, mappings, and isomorphisms between emergent point charge structures with their low assembly indexes and the mathematical theories of physics, embodied in general relativity, lambda cold…

Emergent Assembly
Recently I listened to several podcasts featuring Lee Cronin who is the Regius Chair of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow, UK. I am very impressed by Lee’s creative thinking and in particular his willingness to break out of the prison formed by ignorance and the revered intellectual strictures of academia. Lee and team have…

Mapping to E8
Early on I was quite fascinated by Garrett Lisi’s thinking that mapped the standard model to E8. I think I have now figured out why that works and why E8 was a bigger clue than realized, with a surprising twist. The question should not have been why a 248 dimensional object, but instead we should…
