The Gateway to Unified Physics

A brutalist engineering approach to the physics unification problem.

Core Methodology

• Methodically and scientifically identifying modes of failure in current unification approaches
• Without emergence a unified model cannot evolve its bahaviour or states and lacks predicitive-ability. All unified models must have emergence (and the drivers of emergence) integrated into every evolving process and system. We can thus distil the property of emergence as a control feature of unified models.

Define an Ideal Emergence Model

• Identifying the core components of a generic, viable ideal unified model
• Define the unified seed:
  • Define self-evolution — algorithmic (abstract/mathematical) or physical (entropic)
  • Constrain emergent behaviour by causal continuity
  • Apply parsimony constraints (minimse algorithmic complexity) to the emergence operating system

Unification Auditing Tools

• Developing unification auditing tools enabled by the tight constraints of ideal emergent unified models
• Parsimony metrics: P_c, F_f

Minimum Standards for Unification Models

• Use Binary Hypothesis Test (BHT) as biase minimised whole-of-model predictive test - for unified model candidates.
• N = 22 correct independent predictions required to achieve P(22) = (0.5)²² ≈ 5σ
• Models that meet this satisfy the standard for scientific discovery and can be classified as viable unification model components.
• Models that do not meet this criterion do not satisfy the minimum standard for a unified theory and are ejected from the viable unification arena.

Mapping the Viable Unification Space

• Seed complexity dictates proximity to the unified seed
• Quantum Theory: high seed complexity → highly emergent model
• General Relativity: relatively low seed complexity → close proximity to the unified seed
• Conclusion: unification via gravitising quantum theory is statistically viable, while quantising gravity is statistically unviable

Resource Allocation Framework

• Emergence analysis provides a long-sought scientific tool for rationalising the allocation of unification modelling resources
