And as long as I’m noticing what may be completely spurious correlations:
The form of expression for physical potentials (gravity, scalar electric, vector magnetic) at distance r is:
1/r
The form of expression for the probability of a case out of a potential N cases is:
1/N
It is reasonable to assert that the protons (and their sister nucleons, neutrons) are at a lower energy state (hence lower mass state) than unbound protons. I don’t know how to go about doing all the corrections here (such as attributing dark matter, let alone dark energy to gravitational mass of “dark protons”) but the coincidence is intriguing.
* The left hand side pie chart’s free hydrogen is pretty close to the mass of unbound protons (and there is less helium gas), so we can probably ignore that to first order.
One of the dimensionless ratios first (several decades ago) calculated by the Combinatorial Hierarchy was the proton/electron mass ratio of about 1836.15, and one of the main reasons I bothered writing a python script to calculate the Combinatorial Hierarchy itself, rather than merely the cardinal numbers of its levels, was to find a linkage between the first 3 levels of the CH and the 4th (proton to Plank mass ratio) – which would imply a unification of EM with gravity.
Chasing down a formula for the proton radius in which the proton to electron mass ratio plays a part:
α^2/(𝜋(mp/me)R∞) = proton radius = 8.41235641(34 ±26)e-16 m
I found the fact that the proton radius (known only to low accuracy) can be calculated from other constants that are known to high accuracy to be most intriguing.
Like I keep saying, the studious lack of interest by dark matter theorists in the proton implied by alpha_G_proton = 2^127-1±<1% indicates to me a crippling groupthink has descended on physical theory.
Another quantum gravity theory paper, that I review in the link below, has come up with exactly this same number via a different route.
And there is a third – this one from the “simulation hypothesis” perspective (more or less responding to Tegmark’s “mathematical universe” popularizations): https://philarchive.org/archive/MACPTA-9v12
137, it should be noted is:
(2^2-1) + (2^(2^2)-1)-1) + (2^(2^(2^2)-1)-1)-1)
A canonical form of that formula, reflecting the theory of indistinguishables more faithfully, would reduce all constants to such recursive powers of 2 – but it gets pretty cumbersome to do so.
I wonder how long it will be before someone lets one of these LLMs, trained in mathematics and with “reasoning” turned on for days at a time, to come up with the theory of indistinguishables given that it really is the case that to distinguish 2 things is a binary process.
When it happens I wonder if it will be able to assign appropriate credit to the ANPA folks who have almost all died of old age now leaving me the sole person doing archaeology on physical interpretation of the metaphysics?
This approach to the observer metaphysic arose from the CLRU run by the daughter of UK chief of WW II propaganda. The connection to Enigma code breaking was known to me from my work with Tom Etter (1956 Dartmouth Summer of AI attendee).
