The Classical and Quantum Physics Group
Fundamental Values
What is the fundamental constant1(Sec. 3.1); what are the fundamental measures1(Sec. 3.2) and why do either exist?2(Eq. 102) Measurement quantization has revealed that many of the constants of nature may be reduced such that they consist of only the fundamental measures and/or the fundamental constant.3(Eqs. 30-34) The CQP Group seeks to continue the work of breaking down the known constants into a nomenclature consisting of only the fundamental measures,3(Eqs. 12-14) thus providing a consistent framework for describing nature.
Also, under investigation is the nature of self-referencing systems1 (Sec. 3.8) and how such systems lead to invariant relations from the observer's point-of-view.1 (Eq. 67) For instance, do all self-referencing systems lead to self-referencing measures,1 (Eq. 47) discrete measurement bounds and bounded relations?1 (Eqs. 27-29) Why are there three measures,2 (Eq. 102) a specific number of constants and is there also a specific set of bounded relations?2 (Sec. 3.9) Further research promises answers to these questions and to lead to a greater understanding of our universe as a class of possible universes.
There is also specific inquiry into measure itself. What is it?2 (Sec. 3.7) Why is it constrained? Does it vary and if we were in a class of universe with a different rate of expansion, a different correlation between the fundamental measures, what would that look like?
Finally, an understanding of the fundamental measures3 (Sec. 2.2) lends to and provides the foundation to a resultant system that defines the availability of information.2 (Sec. 3.8) What types of information are permitted in a class of universe? How does a model of information based on measurement quantization differ from that of quantum mechanics? Where information is missing, are behaviors like those observed in quantum experiments also observed macroscopically? 3 (Sec. 5.3)
Mapping the relations between quantum and macro phenomenon provide a new approach to understanding how information defines and governs the behavior of matter.3 (Ex. Sec. 5.5) The concept that bounded measure in turn constrains information which in turn defines the behavior of matter is new.3 (Fig. 5) MQ opens the door to a new understanding of the laws of physics, not as absolute rules of nature, but as outcomes to the availability of information in the quantum and macroscopic environment.1,2,3 While quantum behavior is rarely identified in macro environments, MQ demonstrates a new set of rules applicable to the entire measurement domain. 3 (Sec. 2.4)
Objectives
- Continuing to express all the known constants in terms of only the fundamental measures1(Sec. 3.2) and/or the fundamental constant.1(Sec. 3.1)
- Continued classification of the laws of nature into two groups: self-referencing and self-defining1(Sec. 3.8) (the latter being a property of the universe).
- Continued research demonstrating that the behavior of matter is directly correlated to the availablity of information in the environment.2(Sec. 3.8)
Inquiry
- Such that discrete measure is an outcome of bounds to measure,1(Eqs. 27-29) can non-discrete measure exist?
- Can a system of three self-referencing measures1(Eq. 47) have more than three physically significant dimensions?
