Bit-string physics: a novel "theory of everything"

Abstract

Encodes the quantum numbers of the standard model of quarks and leptons using constructed bit-strings of length 256. These label a growing universe of bit-strings of growing length that eventually construct a finite and discrete space-time with reasonable cosmological properties. Coupling constants and mass ratios, computed from closure under XOR and a statistical hypothesis, using only /spl planck/, c and m/sub p/ to fix our units of mass, length and time in terms of standard (meter-kilogram-second) metrology, agree with the first four to seven significant figures of accepted experimental results. Finite and discrete conservation laws and commutation relations insure the essential characteristics of relativistic quantum mechanics, including particle-antiparticle pair creation. The correspondence limit in (free space) Maxwell electromagnetism and Einstein gravitation is consistent with the Feynman-Dyson-Tanimura "proof".<>
