1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to modeling atomic structure and field generation. In particular, working physical models for mass structure, electromagnetic field generation, photons, and gravity are described as teaching tools.
2. Description of the Background Art
The invention includes a novel model of the atom that describes the causal quantized structure of quantum fields, mass-particles, photons, and gravity, yielding predictive tools for the structure, formation, and control of elemental particles, atoms, chemical bonds, biological processes and photo-stimulation.
Early Theoretical Models—There have been numerous physical models of the atom since Lord Kelvin described it as a permanent vortex structure within the context of an ether background. J. J. Thompson improved the model with the discovery of electrons in 1897. Later the atomic model became known as the plum pudding model where the atom was pictured as holding negative electrons within a sphere of unknown non-electrical forces spread evenly throughout the atom (like raisins in plum pudding). The plum pudding model was also theorized to explain the different wavelengths of light based on the atom's size.
The pudding model was proven wrong based on experimental scattering data gathered by Rutherford almost 100 years ago. Rutherford showed that alpha particles slammed into thin gold foil sheets produced scattering only when the centerpoints collided and concluded that the entire mass of the atom is held at a finite center point. This supported the point nucleus theory and its infinitesimally small size in relation to the radius of the electron.
In 1913 Bohr suggested halo orbits for electrons, a model that explains quantum electrodynamics (QED) and electron angular momentum. This model, which shows the atom's electrons in orbit around a point-mass nucleus, is still popular today, although there are significant challenges, as it does not provide an accurate description of a point-mass center using just three dimensions. Einstein later proposed a three-dimensional space augmented with time as a fourth variable, or fourth dimension, in order to describe a space formed by a point mass in motion. This adjustment was required because a field could not be described without the point being in motion through time to create space and because four-dimension math better describes the structure of matter and fields.
Otherwise, for over 90 years the overall physical or topological model for the atom has not changed substantially from a centerpoint-mass model despite significant advances in understanding the mathematical relationships of forces and particles within the atom and the discovery of a large number of particles that form the nucleus and constitute the strong and weak nuclear forces.
Physical Models—Most models that are used for educational purposes are designed to show the interlocking of molecular and chemical bonds with a variety of unique flanges. The minute scale of the centerpoint-mass nucleus relative to the electron orbit has made physical models difficult to portray, hence the focus on bonding models. Further, physical models have not portrayed the statistical models for the electron or an organizational construct for fields and the centerpoint mass.
Mathematical models—A number of theories have attempted to mathematically unify atomic forces. The present dominant model is commonly termed the “Standard Model”. The forces of the atom have been accurately described within the context of the Standard Model, where particles and force exchanges are represented in minute detail, matching experimental results. There are at least five major types of string theory that have unique base assumptions for gauge limits and dimensions (1 through 26 dimensions). String theories add time as a coordinate in unified space-time geometry. While three dimensions can describe a point, four-dimensions (three conventional plus time) are used to describe an event and a space. Logically extended, extra dimensions have been shown to describe forces and symmetrical constructs. Popular higher dimension theories have included four, five, ten, and twenty-six dimensions. Through mathematical compacting, extra dimensions (>3) are “rolled up” to match our conventional three-dimensional world.
Several recent theories attempt to describe particles topologically, with the objective of: (1) providing boundaries and containment and (2) linking particles and forces more directly. Spin foams, twisters, M-branes, P-branes, and D-branes mathematically describe particle forces that more closely represent a conventional view of objects that can spin, rotate, resonate, and have volume. While they appear to provide a more accurate description of particles and force transfers, these theories do not describe the causal structure underlying the atom. Further, each of these mathematical models has to impose artificial limits to the math equations to account for the formation of the atom.
Mathematical models have grown in complexity because the structure of symmetry, electromagnetic fields, charge, spin, confinement, and gravity cannot be directly seen. The conventional view is that the atomic nucleus is a centerpoint mass and the vast space between the nucleus and the orbiting electrons is virtually empty. For almost 90 years, this has been considered by many as fundamental.
Current models do not establish the structure of the real and physical limits for regularizing fields and gauge limits as the center of the atom approaches zero. The models do not adequately accommodate the dynamic nature of the atom and therefore have limited ability to predict sub-atomic machinery and force interactions. The Standard Model describes mathematical relationships but is unable to locate a point in space at a given time. Relativity is not seen as relevant inside the orbit of the electrons. A new model of the atom is needed to combine the theories of the Standard Model and General Relativity to provide information in real time and space on bonding, force interactions, and atomic substructures.
Deficiencies of the Known Models
Models have enhanced our understanding of Physics over the last century; however, each has had limitations in providing a grand unification theory. Bohr's model, for example, cannot account for other basic characteristics of the atom such as scattering or spectral absorption/emission from multi-electron atoms. The Standard Model and General Relativity as mathematical models have made significant contributions to the field of physics, but, despite these advancements, there has been little progress in tying these two descriptions of matter together. They differ dramatically in scale and mathematical complexity and they have not been unified.
Topological descriptions of particles provide some guidance for the structure of fields; however, what has remained elusive is a single physical model for the atom that provides the normalization and regularization factors that guide the formation of atoms and particles. Such a physical model should be based on a limited set of rules with minimal arbitrary elements and provide predictions of future events. A successful model should predict new experimental results and at the same time unify what has already been measured. A new model should also ideally provide lattice regularization for the formation of particles and provide lattice spacing that tends to zero at the centerpoint of the particle or atom. Further, the model should define limits of appropriate expectations of gauge-invariant observables.
To date, there has been no successful theory for the natural regularizations of the atom, that is, why atoms form in such consistent ways and in such tremendous numbers of iterations.
While mathematical models may accurately describe forces on the most basic levels, they have not yielded a plethora of experimental predictions going forward; nor are they able to describe the natural limits providing quantization of light, particle scales, or atomic organization. Natural limits include the fundamental, real parameters for the formation of particles, light, and atoms with such consistency and regularization. Natural limits would also define the “machinery” underlying the structure of fields, charge, photons, and gravity. Further, it would yield constructive insights to the interaction of atoms within the context of chemistry and biology.
Another challenge to reaching a unified theory has been the significant scale disparity between the scale of force transfer and the scale of the proton. Strings are theorized to have force transfers starting on scales 20 orders of magnitude smaller than a proton. In some gauge theories, lattice volumes are described as zero, while other theories declare the smallest material dimension as a Planck length.
The wide variety of multi-dimensional theories makes a unification theory appear even more difficult to assemble. Popular string theories range from one to 26 dimensions. Force transfers are sometimes assigned particle values; sometimes particles are theorized with no dimension. Electron excitation can only be “explained” for hydrogen and has not been successful for many-electron atoms because the current model for hydrogen requires increasing radii for each energy level, an assumption that is unworkable in many-electron atoms.
A long-standing objective has been to unify gravity with the structure of matter. Most physics theories do not include computations for gravity; much less describe the mechanism for its generation. Current theories cannot explain the structural origin of fields or handedness (chirality) despite being able to measure both with high accuracy.
Current theories also do not postulate causality for discrete sizes of particles (the “hierarchal problem”). Symmetry is described mathematically, most often as positive and negative integer values mixed with uncertainty, but current physical models do not explain a causal mechanism in the conventional realm for these values. No theory today answers the structure of mass gap, confinement, gravity, field generation, or charge. Neutrinos remain an enigma. Black holes and large cosmological objects appear to follow another set of rules. The source of extra-gravitational forces in the universe (postulated as dark matter) is not understood. No theory explains the structural reason why inertial mass and gravity mass are the same. No theory provides a structural basis for the Pauli exclusion principal or Hund's rule. Although, many theories have offered significant insights into these questions, none has proven all-inclusive.
The important role of physics in biology and chemistry is often underemphasized. While bonds can be described mathematically, physics cannot describe the structural mechanism for bonding radii or the atomic-level coding that is locked in amino acids to differentiate genes and the life they generate. Grand unification theories seek a set of equations that describe all phenomena. No such model currently exists.
Another major question concerns the nature of a dimension. Mathematically, dimensions and complexity are simply positive, negative, real, or imaginary numbers. A multi-dimension model that involves tangible structure for dimensions should render the structure of matter and forces to be real, and although complex, they should be determinable and not subject to uncertainties and probabilities. However, it has also been conjectured that four dimensions would not be visible conventionally (Jaffe, Arthur and Witten, Edward, Quantum Yang-Mills Theory, Clay Math Institute, 2000 (Web publication only)).
A successful physical atomic model should translate a dimension into conventional terms, yielding a plethora of predictions based on the model itself. The unifying solution had to provide a mechanism for “real” dimensions, allowing mass, and field descriptions in absolute time. Supersymmetry also requires a structure for gauge limits and a structure for lattice spacing where moments can converge to a unique, determinable centerpoint. A unique physical centerpoint is not found in the Standard Model.
Most mathematical models use a fixed lattice background structure to represent space in which matter exists. Others have theorized that the atom must be background independent in order to match our conventional understanding (Baez, John C., “Higher-Dimensional Algebra and Planck-Scale Physics,” in Physics Meets Philosophy at the Planck Length, Eds. Craig Callender and Nick Huggett, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2001, pp. 177-195).
Current models also do not establish the structure of the real and physical limits for regularizing fields and gauge limits as the center of the atom approaches zero. The models do not adequately accommodate the dynamic nature of the atom and therefore have limited ability to predict sub-atomic machinery and force interactions. The Standard Model describes mathematical relationships but is unable to locate a point in space at a given time. Relativity is not seen as relevant inside the orbit of the electrons.
For about four generations, debate has raged over the seemingly different physics rules inside the atom versus the convention 3-D world outside the atom. Heisenberg theorized the atom was based on discontinuous quantum points, a foundation of the Standard Model. Einstein's rules of Relativity did not appear to apply inside the electron. A new model of the atom that combines the Standard Model and General Relativity to provide information in real time and space on bonding, force interactions and atomic substructures would be of significant value in providing a detailed representation and teaching model of atomic structure and allowing development of methods to control chemical and biological reactions.
The invention is a Quantum Model (the “Model”) that confirms the unification of the major theories in physics today and shows that atomic structure and fields are a result of a simple basic structure. The Quantum Model defines the fundamental physical structure of the atom at Planck scale creating a supersymmetric four-wave metric providing the lattice scaffolding for particles and fields. The Model provides a basic physical structure for the deterministic representation of the supersymmetric metric, particle structure, mass scales, field structures, charge, confinement, Higgs mechanism, and the machinery for light and gravity. The Model also removes hidden variables from dimension analysis and subsumes most of today's dimension theories.
The Quantum Model provides the fundamental structure to the organization of the atom. It provides a physical description of the atom as a geometric construct that is a visually intuitive description of the structure and position of particles, sub-particles, fields, photons, and forces within the atom. This Model was designed to provide visualization of the tangible structure of the atom. The Model “fills in” the space between the centerpoint and the electron with quantum loop structures fundamental generators of subtle differences in fields.
The Model unifies the four major forces in physics by providing a physical structure for reference, including:
The Model is accurate. The model matches the scale of the electron to the proton to eight orders of magnitude. The physical structure for the centerpoint weak force is shown to be a scale of 5.7743E-10 consistent with observations (Table 9). The Model unifies the scale of the proton with that of the single-dimension transfer in string theory and Planck length scales to 4.69E-21, solving the hierarchy problem. The Model provides the structure for gravity and calculates the scale of gravitation to the electromagnetic force to be 9.39E-39 for Iron, consistent with observed values.
The Quantum Model provides a supersymmetric organization using real 4-D space, without hidden or negative dimensions. The Model shows that the electromagnetic field is propagated locally and is background independent. The Model provides a logical, physical structure that can be understood without significant mathematical gymnastics, using a wave structure that would seem to fit with the conventions of the macroworld.
The Quantum Model shows how the space inside the atom is quantized with discrete potentiated 4-D spaces that are the result of four-wave intersections generated by a single 6-D resonant centerpoint providing a coherent and modelable supersymmetric metric of four-wave temporary intersections. The entire metric rotates on a conventional and complex basis. The metric alignment is based on separation of temporary four-wave intersections creating discrete 4-D points organized within a 6-choose-4 permutational metric axially organizing 15 lattice sets of four-wave intersections. The four-wave metric is shown to be supersymmetric, consistent with Lorentz transformations and complex rotation.
The Quantum Model is deterministic, providing discrete radial measurements based on measuring waves traveling at the speed of light from the defined centerpoint. All points within the metric can be defined using the metric tools provided by the Model. The Quantum Model shows why atomic forces can be measured through the 6-D centerpoint and provides insight to a more descriptive means to measure sub-atomic using wave parameters. The Model also describes the 6-D centerpoint as the structure for a neutrino.
The Quantum Model uses naturally occuring high-density circle lattice sets as radii for quantum loops following spindle torus geometries. The organization of the metric and quantum loops create a regularized structure for particles, atoms, and fields. Resonant energy transfers through these intersections following one-dimension changes to create quantum loops. Five-dimension quantum loops are comprised of three sets of four-space lattices from within the 15-axis 6-choose-4 metric. The axial metric set naturally defines a four-vector lattice structure, (consistent with Lorentz transformation) that can sweep about the centerpoint, rotate, and create infinite fields while maintaining lattice spacing down to the singular centerpoint.
Quantum loops are not solid structures but are the result of discrete four-wave intersections transferring energy through one-dimension transfers within an axial triplet. The scales of mass are regularized by the simple available sets of high-density lattice circle solutions.
The Quantum Model illustrates the natural structural reasons for mass-particle scales with no compromises or missed steps from the proton down to the structure of a photon and a single lattice point. The Model provides the structure underlying discrete mass scales including the quark, pentaquark, and smaller mass-particle. The Model also includes the multiple substructures of the electron.
The Model is fundamentally based on four basic sets of math: 1) quantum four-wave intersections based on sets of waves chosen from the six dimension wave variables; 2) high-density lattice circle sets for quantum loops; 3) the geometry of the spindle torus and quantum loop intersections: and 4) the Julia fractal to describe single dimension energy transfers. On another level, the Model reveals that the Rydberg constant (Rh=10 973 731.568 525(73) m−1, NIST) represents a quantum loop geometry for Hydrogen.
All mass-particles are shown to have negative and positive poles. The orientation of the particles defines the particle's apparent charge within the atom. The Model also sheds light on the spontaneous and ordered development of mass-particles, starting from the 6-D neutrino at Planck scales up to the proton.
Another important feature of the Quantum Model is that it provides the machinery for the excitation states of electrons in hydrogen without requiring an increase in the electron radius, an unworkable construct when attempting to Model the excitation of many-electron atoms. It also includes why a photon is both a particle and a wave and how photon energy is absorbed and emitted within mass. The Model also indicates the determinable positions of electrons.
The dual wave and particle nature of photons has been the subject of a multitude of theories and conjectures for generations. The underlying machinery for photon emission or absorption has been an enigma. The challenge is to apply the known behaviors of the photon to the four-wave metric and quantum loop structure disclosed in the Quantum Model.
The same resonant energy that resonates within the centerpoint and transfers through the quantum loops is the starting point for the source of photon energy; that is, the photon is excess resonant energy released from quantum loop nodes. The rules of the quantum loop then applied easily to the photon, such as requiring four-wave alignment before the energy could be transferred node-to-node. The four-wave model also provided a mechanism for the photon to travel outward from the atom at the speed of light, following a single dimension wave away from the centerpoint. The use of quantum loops also provided functions for chirality, wave information, and geometry as a foundation for some of the observed properties of light.
The Quantum Model identifies that there are three sources of dimension wave generation by the atom: 1) The electromagnetic field generated by the centerpoint, 2) dimension waves of gravity generated by quantum loops, and 3) the resonant photon generated by quantum loops. These phenomenona are all generated within the supersymmetric metric and quantum loops.
The supersymmetric metric and resonant quantum loop structure provided the physical mechanism for gravitation. The Quantum Model shows that gravitation is generated by the background disturbance associated with quantum loops. The Model also shows that the ratio of gravitation to the electromagnetic force varies by element.
The Quantum Model of the atom provides a description of the atom that is written, rendered, and represented physically that provides a teaching tool suitable for describing numerous physical, chemical, biological, biotech, and nanotechnology phenomenona.

Associated with the polar orientation of the mass-particle.

Proton—A major confinement particle of 108 lattice nodes per 6-choose-4 lattice set per quantum loop (a total of 324 nodes per loop and 972 nodes per proton). It also can generically represent all major confinement mass-particles with torus overlap of about 65%.
Quantum loop—The path of resonant energy within a particle that cyclically and sequentially transfers through three high-density lattice circle sets and shared nodes, back to its original starting position. It is constructed using 3 sets of 4-D lattice nodes creating a 5-D path.

Regularization—The naturally occuring geometry or math set that provides the reason for atoms to form consistently.
Relative radius—The quantization metric radius of the scale of quantum loops loop expressed in dimension waves per unit absolute time. The absolute scale of the relative radius is predicated on the loop staying within the maximal distance between nodes. Since nodes and quantum loops change in energy level and therefore tightness, the observed absolute radius (i.e., wave distance traveled at c per absolute unit time) varies but the quantum relative radius does not, regardless of lattice circle solution's scale. This is not the same as absolute radius, which is the physical distance traveled per unit absolute time.

Reuleaux lemon—The center structure of the spindle torus formed by the intersection of three rotating planes of resonant energy flow.
Secondary wavelengths—Spectral wavelengths of quantum loops within an atom that has undergone metric tightening (the shortest relative radii in an atom). These loops contribute fewer photons to the spectral signature of the element as the paths are always less disrupted or overloaded as the outermost and largest loops. Basically, it includes all wavelengths except the highest spectral intensity for the atom.
Seiche—A four-wave intersection node. A nautical term for the intersection of many waves, usually on a confined body of water like a lake.

Sweep—The complex rotation of the metric can be based on (1) a single dimension rotating about the centerpoint, influencing the sequential formation of node points, or (2) multiple dimensions (up to six) rotating simultaneously about the centerpoint. Each dimension propagates two sets of dimension waves and once it has swept 360° the dimension generator has influenced the mass-particle twice.
Symmetry, axial—Symmetry between contiguous particles that share nodes on the opposite sides of the centerpoint within an axial triplet set or light-cone pair.
Symmetry, mirror—Symmetry between contiguous particles that share nodes on the same side of the centerpoint within an axial triplet set or light-cone pair.
Time—An absolute, forward moving and real phenomenon where t=d/c.
4-D Supersymmetry Using Six Real Dimensions
Centerpoint Resonant Wave Structure
The Quantum Model presents the atom based on six real dimensions creating a permutational four-dimension metric. Each dimension is defined as a resonant wave alternating within the atom's single centerpoint. When the trapped resonant wave “hits” one side of the centerpoint sphere, a spherical wave is generated. The trapped wave reflects (resonates) back and forth within the centerpoint and causes the continuous propagation of discrete, massless spherical waves outward from alternating sides of the centerpoint. Each confined reflected wave is defined as a one-dimension wave.
The centerpoint's resonant energy is the same energy associated with light. Resonant energy is the confined energy that is reflected within the centerpoint, quantum loop nodes, and photons. It generates outward dimension waves that provide massless background disturbance. Each dimension wave is massless. It is the interaction of these waves that provides the potential for mass.
The electromagnetic field's quantization is achieved when four dimension waves intersect at positions outward from the centerpoint, forming discrete 4-D points within the metric that are occupiable by the energy associated with mass and light.
The dimension waves are moving outward at light-speed, consistent with the light-speed motion of the trapped waves. As each of the six waves is propagated, there is a small separation of distance between the origin points within the complex centerpoint sphere. The Model shows that the tiny difference in position and sequence of the wave dimensions potentiates the surrounding 4-D field in a highly organized manner.
As an illustrative example, drop four matched stones in a pond (
Within the spherical space of the centerpoint, the internally reflected trapped waves become resonant generators of new waves outside the centerpoint. Each dimension wave is generated moving at the speed of light away from the centerpoint (
Resonance can be modeled using the visual analogy of the original video game “Pong”. That is where the ping-pong ball always is assumed to move between the paddles at the same speed (in this case, c) and then reflects back to the other paddle. Within the atom's centerpoint, the reflection is moving continuous at the speed of light, moving outward from the centerpoint, sequentially hitting each side of the centerpoint wall. Again, dimension waves are massless, only potentiating spaces within the metric.
There are significant advantages to using wave structures to model the metric. Distances from the defined centerpoint are determinable in wave periods moving at the speed of light in conventional, absolute time units. Each single dimension wave is separated by wave frequency at light-speed, a distance that can be determined within the local metric in absolute time. Each 4-D node is defined by the intersection of four waves, providing a distance that is also measurable in absolute time.
Waves also maintain crest, trough, and null space separation regardless of the length of the wave period (
Four-Dimension Occupiable Spaces
The intersection of those waves outside the centerpoint is a function of the respective wave periods and the positions within the centerpoint sphere from which the waves are generated. A fundamental Model assumption is that intersections of four waves provide discrete, occupiable point-spaces for energy associated with mass, light, and the structure of the electromagnetic field.
Using another visual analogy, the centerpoint resonance can be thought of as ping-pong balls bouncing/reflecting within a soccer ball (
The intersections of spherical wave sets generated by the centerpoint can be modeled using concentric circles generated from each of the resonant centerpoint trapped waves (
The Quantum Model provides the mechanism for 4-D potentiated spaces to be created symmetrically on both sides of the centerpoint. This helps to create a 4-D metric that is naturally self-referencing while providing a series of discrete quantum spaces that are sequential, temporary, and definable distances from the centerpoint.
A major aspect of the Quantum Model is that the alignment of four-wave intersections invariably involves an axial alignment of 4-D spaces through the centerpoint. Further, the alignment of spaces follows a shifting pattern based on the spherical divergence and convergence of intersections of the wave sets. This potentiates 4-D lattice to where sequential occupiable four-space positions also develop naturally to the left and right, simultaneously and effortlessly.
The Quantum Model's wave structure provides a massless means for potentiating and organizing fields. The wave structure also provides a foundation for quantum energy transfers (between single lattice points) at light-speed. These transfers do not require instant acceleration of forces or energy; rather, the transfer follows a dimensional wave between 4-D wave intersections already moving at the speed of light. Transferring energy from node-to-node using a sequence of one-dimensional changes is also why light moves at light-speed regardless of the POV of the observer. The scale of the 1-D transfers also aligns with the scale of string theory.
The 6-Choose-4 Permutational Axial Metric with 15 Four-Dimension Lattice Sets
The Quantum Model proposes that there are six independent wave structures generated from within the resonant centerpoint. The Model describes a “6-choose-4” permutational metric based on four-wave intersections. The atom's centerpoint incorporates six single dimension waves independently generated within the resonant centerpoint to create sets of 4-D quantum points of occupiable space in the surrounding metric. The permutational metric incorporates 15 four-dimension axially aligned lattice sets of four-wave intersections. Each 4-D space is real and positive on both sides of the centerpoint. Sets of four-dimension spaces are generated from among the six possible dimensions (Table 1). It takes six variables to define the centerpoint and it takes four variables to define each real 4-D space in the metric.
Each 4-D axis is aligned through the centerpoint. While there is no specific order or starting point, an example of the 15 axes of 6-choose-4 sets are shown in Table 2. There is no priority of one dimension wave over another.
Each of the 6-choose-4 axes of 4-D crests and troughs create occupiable quantum aces with non-occupiable null space between the nodes providing lattice spacing. The structure of the 6/4 metric with the crest and trough wave interactions clearly defines a field that can be tightened, but resists the forces to compact to zero at the single centerpoint. Under ideal conditions, the 15 axes of four-dimensional spaces are separated by equal angles of arcsine 1/3 in R6 (
In the Model, each wave dimension shifts about the centerpoint independently, creating a periodicity to the spontaneous formation and dissolution of 4-D intersection points. Change any single direction's strength, periodicity, or angle and the entire metric will shift. As one 4-D axis hinges and sweeps about the 6-D centerpoint, each of the 4-D axes associated with the sweeping dimension(s) also shifts. The metric remains both symmetric and self-referencing.
The centerpoint structure also naturally provides a structure for infinite fields, lattice regularization limits, and a deterministic metric structure for quantum loops associated with mass and gravity. Once formed, the centerpoint is the propagator alignment of the centerpoint waves.
The electromagnetic field—The 6-choose-4 metric provides the structure for the atom's 4-D electromagnetic field. The strength of individual positions within the 4-D electromagnetic field follows the inverse square rules to an infinite distance. The sequential waves and the spherical divergence of 4-D positions naturally create a “nesting” pattern of sequential potentiated positions within the field. Once again, the entire field of 4-D spaces itself is not material (mass-based), rather it represents an organization and potentiation of background waves. These potentiated spaces can be best represented by the natural Fibonacci organization associated with plants, e.g., sunflower seed heads, broccoli florets, and pineapples. Graphically, this is also portrayed as a Fibonacci seedhead©, (
The dimensions described in the Quantum Model are real (versus mathematically complex dimensions) and create positive real space outward from the centerpoint. The axial four-wave lattice set alignment is added to the potentiated electromagnetic field positions. The axial metric naturally organizes 4-D lattices and provides a foundation to model mass-particles. The Model shows that the underlying symmetry of the atom's field can be described using the four-wave metric. The atom's wave structure generates 4-D fields that are able to penetrate, potentiate, and organize the vacuum of space (vacuum permitivity and permeability).
Changes to the centerpoint resonance are influenced by several factors: 1) the atom's self-generated, self-referencing structure, and 2) by outside influences; e.g., light, fields, and mass. For simplicity, the Quantum Model is idealized with all six dimensions intersecting at right angles, while in nature, this perfect equilibrium occurs rarely. Non-orthogonal alignment of the six dimensions improves the sweeping movement of individual dimensions within the 6-D centerpoint. As one 6/4 axis sweeps, all the related 6/4 axes move, creating a “gearing” effect, hinging at the centerpoint. Sweeping is facilitated by the slight misalignment of the wave generator in sequential reflections within the confining centerpoint. A reflection at 180 degrees is static, but at 179 degrees for example there is a change to the sequential metric positions that causes the sequential “rotation” of the appearance of quantum point positions, or spin.
The scale of the centerpoint is 4.69E-21 relative to the hydrogen proton in six dimensions, consistent with the scale of string theory relative to hydrogen. Individual strings can be modeled as following single-dimension changes between related four-wave intersections. The same centerpoint in three-dimensions is a scale 5.7743E-10 relative to the hydrogen proton, consistent with the scale of the weak force. The relative scales are based on a complex spindle-torus structure with about 65% overlap.
Axial Triplet and Light-Cone Supersymmetry
The Quantum Model defines a further organization to the metric, the “axial triplet” and related light-cone. Mass-based particles fundamentally relying on the symmetry provided by triplets set of axes defined as axial triplets. Within the atom there are five sets of triplets available for particle and field organization as the result of the 15 available four-dimension lattice sets and respective axes (Table 3). There is no formal starting point for the grouping of triplet axes except that the axes tend to be contiguous.
Each axial triplet is comprised of three 4-D lattice sets (
Mass-related symmetry is describable using the axial triplet structures and cones. The axial triplet provides the structure for metric inversion required to describe spin-up and spin-down. The cone naturally inverts through the centerpoint, flipping the sequence of the axes and wave sets. The 6/4 axial triplet space is modeled as conically, axially and locally symmetric, and self-referencing.
Each triplet is actually a structure comprised of 5 dimension variables as derived by using three sets of four-dimension lattices. As shown in the example in
Through the modeling process, it has been observed that most triplets will incorporate two dimension variables in each of the axes, e.g., set ABCD, ABCF, ABDF contains dimensions A and B in each of the triplet axes. Further, a single dimension shift will only affect four of the five triplet sets as one dimension is typically excluded from a triplet set (see Table 3). (While there is a construct where triplets could include six dimensions, the author considers this rare.) Finally, within a given triplet, only one dimension changes between the 4-D axes with triplets if they are arranged in sequence; e.g., ABCD then ABCF, then ABDF, then back to ABCD. This last feature provides an important insight to future modeling of energy transfer between 4-D lattice nodes within an axial triplet field.
The ten light-cone (or five light-cone pair) structure provides a supersymmetric metric structure and is consistent with any four-vector or Lorentz transformation analysis (
Another point about the axial triplet that becomes clearer once modeled is that there are two types of rotation involved in atoms. First, conventional 3-D rotation is where the entire element spins like a baseball. The second type of rotation is where the cones themselves have rotation based on the independent sweeping of individual dimensions or alignment of axes. This rotation of directions/dimensions is fundamental to excitation states and bonding, and this complex movement results in “gearing” within the atom, as all of the axes move independently, yet, are self-referencing. Even if one, two, or three of the 4-D axes are aligned or “shared” between atoms through bonding, the remaining “excluded” dimension(s) continue to sweep in a complex manner.
With five sets of triplets, the cone sets naturally exhibit a planar “equator” that further organizes the atom on either side of the centerpoint, separating the axially opposed cones (exaggerated in
Quantum Paradox
The Model shows the structure of atomic field quantization and provides points of occupiable spaces that are temporary and follow a relatively simple but unique set of rules. The basic question remains: “Why are the rules inside the atom seemingly different than on larger scales?” Schrödinger offered a wave model, Heisenberg offered a quantum point model, and still relativity seemed to be on another scale completely.
The answer is that the rules are not different. The Model actually provides a new “metric ruler” that can deterministically measure and describe fields, positions, and quantum effects (
Within the Quantum Model, three-vectors and distance can be always defined in three dimensions, consistent with the macroworld, however, specific determinable field locations for temporary, occupiable 4-D spaces require the intersection of real four-wave sets and four-vector positions as described in the Model.
This view of quantization is fundamentally consistent with quantum views by Schrödinger (waves), Heisenberg (points), and Einstein (general and special relativity). Because the metric is based on temporary node points propagated from the centerpoint, measuring the atomic system using force inherently creates a disturbance at the centerpoint, changing the state of the metric and the alignment of temporary four-wave positions. These factors contribute to uncertainty in measuring absolute positions and can even lead to superimposed states. This measurement difficulty does not, however, reduce the ability to deterministically model the metric changes required to facilitate an elemental bond or the causal field geometries responsible for light frequencies.
The only inherent uncertainty in this model is that any force that disturbs the centerpoint, e.g., attempts to measure the centerpoint, disturbs the resultant, sequential, temporary “interference pattern” of four-wave intersection positions.
Dimension Wave Interactions
Dimension waves of matched scale interact to create spaces which can hold resonant energy. Matched scales include the variables of frequency and phase alignment. Waves appear to interact within the frequency range differences of 5 nm or less or at whole multiples of each other.
Two matched waves interact to form a tube (
Four matched waves intersect to form a “closed” or confined space within which resonant energy can reflect. This is the minimum space that can hold resonant energy associated with mass. Within the metric, most four-spaces spontaneously appear and disappear, created all the time, they only represent potentiated positions where resonant energy can be transferred through or held. Four-space is comprised of discrete temporary points within the quantized metric. Resonant energy can be held within these four-space for a brief period until it transfers. The intersection of five waves only interacts as sets of four intersections.
The potentiated positions within the metric are the electromagnetic field. The empty wave intersections decline in their resonant energy confining capacity following inverse square rules as the waves move outward from the centerpoint. These intersections are organized in the surrounding field and influence other local metrics.
The converging of six matched waves creates a potential confined centerpoint point for the formation of a new local metric (
Scattering
Consistent with Rutherford's experimental findings all forces within the atom can be measured through the 6-D centerpoint. Rutherford defined all mass as being actually located at the centerpoint rather than measured through hitting the 6-D centerpoint, as defined by the disclosed Model. The 4-D field organized around a 6-D centerpoint is locally and axially self-referencing and therefore does not interact significantly with other 6/4 energy (photons generally pass through each other). On the other hand, 6-D dimensional centerpoints are internally self-generating but are not self-referencing and will scatter when hit with another centerpoint of similar metric tightness (
The Quantum Model does not affect Rutherford's experimental findings, rather, offers a reinterpretation of the findings. The Model leads to predictions and information not available from Rutherford style scattering experiments and the Bohr centerpoint mass model. The six-dimensional centerpoint structure also provides a unique causal structure for representing the weak force on the scale experimentally observed.
The Quantum Model shows that when a 6-D centerpoint hits another 6-D centerpoint, the timing of the 4-D field is disrupted and yields scattering data. The space around the centerpoint is 4-D which: 1) minimally interacts with other 4-D fields, 2) is self-referencing within the atom and therefore does not appear to be disrupted and 3) represents positions for 4-D energy transfer which are not visible conventionally.
The Neutrino
The Quantum Model defines the unique six-dimensional singular centerpoint as the probable structure for a neutrino. It is the natural structure at the base of the Quantum Model metric. The neutrino, a six-dimension structure, serves two roles. First, it is the centerpoint of the atom, creating fields and organizing structure.
Second, when free of the atom, the neutrino passes effortlessly through 4-D space and rarely creates a scattering event, except when it hits another, similar scale 6-choose-6 neutrino centerpoint. A neutrino is not self-referencing relative to the 6-choose-4 spaces. A 6-D neutrino is relative “hard” (like a bullet through aero gel). The free neutrino travels at the speed of light following the crest of a single dimension wave.
Dimensions
Four-dimensional space is not simply adding one variable to the conventional 3-D view of the world; rather, it consists of sets of four independent dimensions that do not conform to three-dimensional visualization. While this may appear intuitively divergent from Einstein's math of three dimensions plus time (four variables), it is consistent with experimental measurements. Further, a 4-D space/particle construct would not be visible conventionally.
The Quantum Model provides a unique perspective on most dimension theories, providing a physical structure for the scales of individual strings to the supersymmetric metric of the atom ranging up to 26 dimensions (Table 3). The Quantum Model shows that single strings can be described as changes to one dimension between 4-D triplet axes. Two dimensions are also described by wave sets. Three dimensions describe conventional 3-D vectors, while four dimensions (three plus time) can describe the quantized structure of a photon. Four dimensions also describe confined energy transfers within individual 4-D lattice sets. Five and ten dimensions describe triplet and cones structures (including the flat model of gravity). Six dimensions build the Quantum Model metric and neutrino centerpoint described herein. Twenty-six dimensions of supersymmetry can describe the five 5-D light-cone pairs (plus time).
The Physical Structure of Mass
Four-Dimensional Energy Transfer
The Quantum Model provides sufficient metric complexity to enable the physical modeling of individual mass-particles and the entire atom. The 6-choose-4 metric creates 15 discrete lattice sets of quantum four-wave intersections nested sequentially around the centerpoint. Further, in the context of axial triplet sets, individual dimension waves provide a mechanism for transfer of energy within closed quantum loops through the metric.
The Quantum Model reveals that quantum loops require three sets of 6-choose-4 lattice sets. As shown in
Transfer of energy between nodes (sets of crests or troughs) is always at the speed of light because the changing single-dimension wave is already traveling at the speed of light. The resonant energy associated with the lattice transfer is the same energy associated with photons and the centerpoint. The energy level at any given node within the 15 four-wave lattices is the inverse square of the distance of the node from the centerpoint.
High-density Circle Lattice Sets and Quantum Loops
The 6-choose-4 metric, detailed in Chapter 1, provides a sound foundation for the development of unique sequential paths for energy transfer through the metric. The electromagnetic field is comprised of sequential, nested four-wave intersections. As shown with the Fibonacci seedhead© loop or path alignment begins near the centerpoint and builds outward, transferring through the four-wave intersections. It has been noted that Fibonacci patterns occur throughout nature with the nested patterns theoretically repeating at an infinite number of scales. The 2-D seedhead pattern shown only gives a partial representation of the four-vector metric, although visually it provides clues to metric organization as it reveals partial loops on varying scales. A seminal structure for the closed quantum loops requires a more complete physical model.
High-density circle lattice sets—It was discovered that high-density circle lattice sets provide the regulation for discrete levels of mass, uniformly consistent between all particles on discrete scales. High-density circle lattice sets occur naturally and include integer radii lattice solutions that lie on a circle (
While the 4-D nodes are “connected” with the circle, each node provides the four-vector quantum view of jumps from point-to-point as required by the Standard Model. The circle radius in this case is not a fixed absolute distance, e.g., five x, rather the radius is measured by absolute wave count, which defines the relative radius. It only indicates a four-wave intersection that is five dimension waves away from the centerpoint. The four-wave intersection naturally requires all four waves to intersect at the nodes on the circle. Shorter or longer waves still meets the definition of relative radius in wave count.
The number of occupiable four-wave intersections on a quantum loop is based on specific high-density integer solutions to circle lattice equations. The path of the confined energy follows these circular paths on each of three axes in the axial triplet (in a 3-D view). The circle having n lattice points, radius r, center (0, 0) is calculated in the following manner:
These functions, though known, are very tedious to calculate for lattice points on circles of integer radius; however, the expressions are reasonably simple.
As shown in Table 4, the numbers of lattice points for a given radius are presented. At radius of five, twelve lattice points are on the circle. At radius of 25 there are 20 points on the circle. At radius of 65, the first showing of 36 lattice points on the circle appears. Similar counts of lattice points appear at many larger scales, ultimately controlling the generation of larger elements at discrete energy levels.
Quantum loops of highest density occur in discrete size levels, usually involving radial multiples of five, and point values divisible by four. The positions of the nodes are not equidistant on the circle.
Quantum Loops—The alignment of the axial triplet and high-density lattice sets creates quantum loops of discrete scales with energy transferring between 4-D spaces contributed by each of the three lattice sets. A full loop uses nodes from each of the triplet's three axes and therefore the resulting quantum loop is five-dimensional. For example: The loop using the triplet axes ABCD, ABCF, and ABDF uses five dimensions, ABCDF within the loop.
Energy travels smoothly between the nodes in a closed path (
Within particles, the maximal distance occurs naturally at two points: 1) the part of the loop furthest from the centerpoint as the triplet axes diverge and the metric field weaken, and 2) at a point where the natural distance between nodes on the circular quantum loop are farthest apart (they are high-density only, not equidistant).
Three loop mass-particles—Each quantum loop path is built using three sets of 6-choose-4 lattice points. Each particle is made up of three quantum loops (
The three paths share lattice spaces where they cross at both ends of the loops, causing the loops to “straddle” the crossover points sharing nodes with the other two loops. There is no way for the loops to go straight over the “top” and therefore the loops “tilt” left or right from the crossover points. The quantum loops each share a four-space at each end of the mass-particle with the other two loops in the mass-particle. The node count in the loop affects the position of the shared spaces. Higher loop node counts require less path tilting to match nodes in particle loops.
The Spindle Torus Mass-Particle Geometry
A mass-particle is comprised of just three connected quantum loops that naturally align following spindle torus geometry within the axial triplet. A spindle torus is a doughnut with overlapping tubes and no hole. The radii of the loops match the high-density circle lattice sets described earlier. The spindle torus paths yield a mass-particle that appears to be a uniform shell spinning about a definite axis with the majority of the mass held on the complex surface.
The quantum loops follow well-defined rules for the energy flow through the loops. The centerpoint releases energy outward along its 6-choose-4 axes and builds particles to be nested within bigger quantum loops that encapsulate the smaller particles, e.g., proton loops “cover” quark loops. As smaller particle scales complete, larger ones form over/around the sub particle set outside using larger high-density quantum loops. Each of the three loops shares four-wave nodes, straddling the radical axis, naturally creating a spindle torus (
As the loops develop, a very distinct spindle torus “apple” and “lemon” character appears. The shape of the lemon is a Reuleaux shape (three-sided football). The multiple flow paths within the torus create intersecting planes within the torus, intersecting at the radical axis of the torus and triplet. The atom's energy is never balanced; rather, there is a constant ebb and transfer of energy within particles in the atom. Within the quantum loops, at any given moment, there are nodes that are unfilled/incomplete or “weak” as well as nodes that are full or otherwise “strong.” Photon absorption is an indication of new photons transferring energy into an incomplete system. Equilibration continually occurs between particles through shared dimensions, nodes, cones and through the centerpoint.
A spindle torus is an overlapped doughnut with no hole. The center lens of the torus is the Vesica Pisces or “lemon”, the outer surface is referred to as the “apple”. The structure for spindle tori is shown in
To determine the scale of particles, the circle radius “r” used for each of the spindle tori as radii for high-density circle lattice sets. Protons, neutrons, and electrons are spindle torus geometry structures confining three quarks (
The quantum loop structure for the hydrogen proton includes three quarks and the electron (
Discrete Mass-Particle Scales
The Quantum Model includes the discrete structure of particles from the individual proton down to the individual node. The Model reveals that protons, electrons, and quarks have multiple substructures. The Model is highly accurate in that it matches the scale of the electron to the proton to eight orders of magnitude.
The Quantum Model reveals that while the 4-D electromagnetic field structure is generated by the centerpoint, subtle organization of the field within supersymmetric triplet is influenced by real quantum loops transferring energy through volumetric geometry. That is, all of the field structures for mass-particles and the atom are generated by the centerpoint and quantum loops with real volume. Quantum loop structures fill the space between the electron and the atomic centerpoint, transferring resonant energy through unique 4-D paths.
Each mass-particle trio of quantum loops is organized around the centerline axis of the three triplet axes, otherwise mathematically described as the radical axis. This axis runs in a straight line between the endpoint poles of the particle along the radical axis of the torus and torus lemon.
The Model shows that protons/neutrons and electrons share a confinement structure of three quarks, although on different scales (
Some of the mass-particles revealed by the Quantum Model are newly discovered. Shown in Table 6 are the numbers of integer lattice points on the circumference of a circle of radius n with center at (0, 0). Each radius represents important lattice node counts and represent building sets of the high-density among all choices. There have been no skipped values. Additional scale particles are available at many levels of energy and can be created in the laboratory, however, the sets associated with conventional matter and low energy are represented by the base values shown in Table 6. The bolded solutions represent the first presentation of circle lattice sets of that radius among all solutions with no skipped values.
The proton has a wave radius of 1105 waves and 108 lattice points in one 6-choose-4 lattice. The actual quantum loop uses three 6-choose-4 lattices per quantum loop for a total of 324 nodes per single loop. With three loops per mass-particle, the proton has 972 nodes in total (less six shared nodes). Within the Model, each proton loop is generally shown as 108 points per quantum loop with three different colored loops. This model is portrayed this way for graphic clarity.
Surprisingly, the Quantum Model reveals that the electron and proton are each particles that have similar triplet quark structures. The shapes of the tori are also similar with approximately 65% overlap or a lemon length representing approximately 94% of the torus tube diameter. The radius and lattice node counts for the proton and electron are 1105 and 108, and 85 and 36, respectively.
The relative mass scales for mass-particles are calculated using the volume of the confining torus geometry adjusted for the relative density of the lattice points making up the quantum loops. There are just two adjustments to the raw torus data that are required to calculate the relative mass of particles, 1) the relative node density, and 2) the mass gap associated with the intersection of the quantum loops nodes at the ends of torus lemon.
First, the radius and node count of the particle torus structures reveal the particle's node density relative to its actual torus volume, an important part of calculating relative masses of particles. The relative 4-D node densities (Table 7) reveal that smaller mass-particles have a higher relative node density. This has been translated below into a relative node density factor, which is a function of the raw node count divided by the “r” torus radius and then normalized to the proton.
Second, intra-mass gap or shared nodes within the three quantum loops are found at the points where the loops intersect at both ends of the torus lemon. Each of the three quantum loops share a 4-D node with the other two loops as they cross. Sharing has the effect of reducing the measured mass of any particle by a determinable amount of −1.6 nodes per 4-D lattice. This is important because the node count and density are the primary determiner of 3-D mass measurements. This phenomenon can also be seen in mass gap loss associated with contiguous axial and mirror symmetric particles.
The rules for intra-mass gap are the same for all mass-particles: at each end of the lemon, the path “ABCD” shares one 4-D node with path “ABCF” and one node with path “ABDF”. These are added [(4+4)/5-dimensions=8/5] and multiplied by 2 to account for both lemon ends (8/5*2=16/5). Assuming 50:50 sharing this product is divided by 2 to yield −1.6 unique nodes per quantum loop lost to intra-mass gap within the particle. For the proton, this means a reduction from 108 unadjusted lattice points to 106.4 adjusted lattice points. The electron drops more mass on a percentage basis, from 36 lattice points to 34.4 adjusted points relative to the proton.
The lattice structure for the neutron and the proton are the same. Neutrons straddle the 6-D centerpoint, increasing its loop node count relative to the proton, which contributes to the neutron appearing to have a larger mass. The centerpoint is the origin of the radical helicoid, and is straddled by the quantum loop intersection. This adjustment adds back 6/5ths of a node to the intra-mass gap calculation and thereby increases the path count nodes by +1.2 nodes which accounts for the larger apparent neutron mass.
Table 8 shows some of the variables to determine the relative 3-D masses of these particles. To calculate the node density, the torus r radius is multiplied by the adjusted node count/radius value (less intra-mass gap); the node count is normalized and then simplified to match the simple node count by adjusting for: 1/×2 frequency, the squared radius factor of the Rydberg constant, and the inverse square relationship of node strength relative to the centerpoint (discussed later).
Table 9 shows the adjusted volumes of the particles based on the spindle torus volume using radii of high-density lattice sets and adjusted for mass gap and node density.
aA single node scale in 3-D (unadjusted) relative to the scale of the proton shows the measured scale of the weak force in 3-D relative to the Hydrogen proton with a radius ratio of 0.5 to 1105.
bA single dimension scale matching the scale of a single string to the scale of a proton.
Electron-proton mass ratio—The Model matches the electron-proton mass ratio to eight orders of magnitude based solely on the Model's torus geometry, high-density lattice sets, field density, and intra-mass gap. Mass gap within a particle is based on nodes shared by the 6-choose-4 triplet lattices (Table 10).
The calculations for the electron/proton mass ratio confirm that mass is measured in three dimensions, energy transfers in four-dimensions, and that the atom is actually a six-dimension structure. The calculations also confirm the structure of intra-mass gap and inter-mass gap as shared nodes.
Neutron-proton mass ratio—The Model also predicts the neutron-proton mass ratio (Table 11). The neutron has extra mass because it is tied to the centerpoint neutrino. The intra-mass gap for the proton is −1.6 shared nodes and for the neutron are +1.2 shared nodes.
Electroweak Force—The individual node has a calculated 3-D scale of 5.7743E-10 (Table 9), which can be related to the scale of the single centerpoint and the scale of the weak force described in Chapter 1. It is also consistent with the scale of the scattering mass center determined by Rutherford style scattering experiments. The force gets stronger approaching the centerpoint because the metric is tighter as all moments converge and axes converge.
The Model demonstrates definitively that mass is measured in 3-D, which is a function of the number and radius of high-density node points, less shared nodes, within particle completion sets. The quantum loop resident energy in and out of a particle is constantly changing within a 4-D to 6-D context, tightening and loosening the metric and quantum loops. The energy capacity of matched particles are not confined to three dimension measurements as evidenced by atomic excitation states and bonding energies that change field strength, photon frequencies, and influence chemical or biological interactions, but do not affect the mass of an element. The constant flow of energy within the particle structure and quantum loops provides the causal structure for inertial mass and gravity mass calculated as appearing to be the same value.
String scales—There has been the significant scale disparity between the scale of single-dimension force transfer in string theory and the scale of the proton. Strings are theorized to have force transfers starting on scales some 20 orders of magnitude smaller than a proton. In some gauge theories, lattice volumes are described as zero, while other theories declare the smallest material dimension as a Planck length. The Quantum Model shows that the string scale can be related to the scale of resonant energy following a single-dimension transfer and Planck length scales in 6-D down to 4.69E-21 relative to the proton (Table 9). This is the smallest scale of interaction.
Space and time—It should be noted that in the Quantum Model, the backgrounds of space and time are smooth, not predetermined, and do not exist in whole numbers. Time is only forward moving. Four-dimensional, four-vector nodes provide discrete quantization of matter and mass.
The discrete four-wave intersections are responsible for the quantization of space. The formation of a given four-wave node is based on the alignment of four dimension waves emanating from the atom's centerpoint. Four-wave intersections are based on matched integer scales among the involved dimension waves. Four dimension waves interact to form nodes, representing the first material organization of matter. Four waves intersect to form a definable closed space that can hold energy, in fact, containing some of the internally reflective character of the resonant centerpoint. Two aligned waves also interact, creating interference but the geometry of a hypertube cannot confine resonant energy; e.g., phase aligned photon interference in double slit experiments.
Quantum Loop Resident Energy—The Quantum Model introduces the concept of “resident energy.” Resident energy is the total level of energy within quantum loops. The tighter the loop, the higher the level of resident energy as the node energy confining capacity is governed by the inverse square rules. Consequently, the energy holding capacity of the loop is limited by its outermost node position and the tightness of the loop. The energy of the quantum loop is not matched to mass and is constantly undergoing equilibration within the atom. Resonant energy within the atom is measured by the strengths of the electromagnetic field, 6-choose-4 axes, and the quantum loops. The strength of the electromagnetic field and quantum loop resident energy within any given atom naturally organizes the location of neighboring atoms. The underlying quantum loop resident energy for each atom has input to the resultant electromagnetic field structure.
The measured mass of a given particle is based on the number of nodes on a quantum loop which can only approximately be represented on a 3-D plot. Regarding energy, however, the tightness of the local four-wave metric defines the quantum loop resident energy of the particle. While four dimension waves are aligned to form an intersection, the closer the intersections are to the centerpoint and the higher the potential energy of the nodes.
Mass-particles in a given atom are not often the same absolute radius, the local metric can be tighter or looser depending on the local environment, or the distribution of resonant energy held within the particle or atom, and the resident energy of an elemental bond. The chemical concept of quantum loop resident energy can be explained in the context of quantum loop and metric changes.
The Radical Helicoid
The radical helicoid is a focus of organization for electromagnetic fields, charge, gravity, and formation of photons. The three rotating planes of the particle's completion sets (
The character of the radical helicoid (twist, scale, and coherence) is determined by the order of the three quantum loops and the sequence, excitement levels, and relative radius of the particle. The relative radius is the metric radius of the quantum loop expressed in dimension waves per unit absolute time or dimension frequency. Since quantum loops constantly change in energy level and therefore tightness, the absolute radius (i.e., wave distance traveled at c per absolute unit time) varies but the quantum relative radius does not, regardless of the metric scale.
For a triplet to transfer energy through quantum loops, the lattice points for a given completion set straddle the radical axis of the torus/axial triplet following the geometry of a spindle torus. These loops each share nodes with the other two triplet lattices. For example, the first lattice points of the proton are at 1.6666° on either side of the radical helicoid within a radius lattice set of 108 nodes/360° (3.3333° between neutron and proton lattice points).
Charge
Charge is the organization of the attractive and repulsive fields associated with the direction of loop's energy flow direction through the spindle torus lemon. Every mass-particle has positive and negative poles (
Mass-particles automatically exhibit a left-handed or right-handed spin as the result of the tilt of the quantum loops straddling the radical axis. (Not to be confused with spin-spin associated with the sweeping of a dimension wave.) Each mass-particle has inherent left or right “rotation” built into it based on disturbance to the EM field by resonant energy flowing through the quantum loops which are tilted relative to the radical helicoid.
At low energy, quarks and sub-particles eventually clear due to incongruent energy flow directions with the confining particle loops. Sub-particles can be “reconstituted” with sufficient applied energy.
It must be said that the electromagnetic field is fully involved in establishing a quantum loop. A loop is not an arbitrary path, rather, each of five dimension waves have to align and maintain a regular periodicity (or whole multiples in the case of excitation). The loops stay within their 6-choose-4 metric triplets on the scale they were initially formed. The exclusionary character of quantum loops ensures that mass-particle loops do not cross directly through each other's triplet four-space (Pauli exclusion). Even if loops from different triplets pass by each other, they do not cross in the same four-space and the metric always remains self-referencing based on the contribution of each dimension to multiple four-wave sets. Likewise, larger loop scales in the same triplet are exclusionary.
Magnetic moment—The magnetic moment is determinable without perturbation or uncertainty and is calculated to be 1:2197 for the electron-proton ratio based on the raw, unadjusted quantum loops and torus geometry in 3-D (Table 12). The energy calculation is then broken down to cover 4-D energy transfer and 5-D particle field generation.
The raw geometry of the quantum loop intersections and the node density generate the field and define the magnetic moment of the mass-particle. Magnetic moment is currently viewed as a rotation based on a 2-D view from outside of the atom. The Quantum Model describes the path's full 3 by 4-D geometry not only representing the quantum loops straddling the radical helicoid, but flowing outward and back inward from the centerpoint, with no uncertainty required.
The actual transfer of energy that generates the moment is based on the quantum loops and can be calculated within 6-choose-4 triplets. Further, the density of the shared nodes at either end of the particle lemon is popularly described as the theoretical location of the magnetic monopole. The magnetic monopole is not a particle; rather, it is the convergence of the quantum loops over the spindle torus, straddling the radical axis.
The Model includes that the dipole moment per unit spin angular momentum is twice the unit orbital angular momentum because of the doubled-over quantum loop in 4-D and that each dimension has two dimension waves to offer for each full sweep of the dimension about the centerpoint.
The quantum loop flow direction of mass-particles alternates between confinement levels (
Mass-Particle Axial and Mirror Symmetry
The Model defines two types of symmetry: mirror and axial. The axial triplet and 6-choose-4 structure account for atomic symmetry as shown in
Mirror symmetry is symmetry on the same side of the axis. Protons/neutrons and axial triplet groups of quarks are examples of particles exhibiting mirror symmetry. Mirror particles share nodes.
Particles easily form through mirror symmetry as the result of sequential transfer of energy through shared 4-D nodes. If the metric is sufficiently organized and strong, a minor change in one of the dimension wave periodicity or position at the right moment can create a new mass-particle that shares a node with the original particle. Maintaining all other variables causes the path to come back to itself.
It is important to note that both the charge and spin of contiguous mirror particles is in opposite directions. The loop path in the mirror particle tilts back to across the radical axis and the contiguous particle now has an opposite energy flow path direction and spin to the originating particle.
Axial symmetry is symmetry on opposite sides of the centerpoint within the same axial triplet or light-cone. The axial sequence is inverted on opposite sides of the centerpoint. The axes within the triplet cross over at the centerpoint, underpinning the framework for equal and opposite symmetry, handedness, entanglement, and field effects. Axial symmetry is shared through the centerpoint. When the axes invert, so does the helicoid sequence, yet the axis-to-axis sequence remains the same. Axial symmetric particles have opposite handedness as the result of axial sequence changes across the centerpoint.
Matter tends to form within doublet, triplet, and quintuplet particle sub-structures within the context of the axial triplet. There are numerous relationships between position of the different particles and the resonant properties they develop. The character of each sub-particle is based on the relative positions and energy flow involved: mirror or axial. Mirror alignment (para) of two particles takes less energy than axial alignment (ortho) since mirror particles share quantum loop nodes.
Particles can form from “scratch” building from the neutrino up to a proton by hierarchal steps, or a particle can form from contiguous particles matching the scale and geometry of the original particle within the range of its electromagnetic field.
Entanglement is the alignment of axial or mirror symmetric particle pairs. Change the character of one mirror/axial symmetric particle within the atom and the field changes on both sides of the triplet. The spin and character of a photon or particle is always determined within the construct of the triplet. Even at a distance, particle axial alignment is expressed using the triplet structure.
Mass Gap and Shared 4-D Nodes
The Model sets out parameters for two kinds of mass gap: 1) intra-mass gap (
Mirror particles share nodes accounting for the more traditional view of mass gap. Mirror symmetry particles share nodes on their respective quantum loops. Axially symmetric particles only share the centerpoint.
The Strong Force
Sharing nodes is the focal point of the strong nuclear force within the atom. The organization of the sweeping dimensions and the resulting subtle organization of sequential points in the metric provide the opportunity for the node to be shared between quantum loops. The strong force gets stronger at closer distances because of the organization of metric is more than just the shared node.
At least one node per 6-choose-4 lattice is shared between mirror symmetric particles, accounting for mass gap. The scale of the strong force is significant. For example, of the proton's 108 nodes in one 4-D lattice path, the proton's quantum loop of 108 nodes shares one node with the quantum loop of the neutron; or 0.94% (1/106.4) of the respective paths. The interlocking system of energy flow through quantum ensures the durability of protons even without dependence on the neutrino; e.g., hydrogen.
Confinement—Major and Minor
There are two classifications of mass-particle confinement defined by the Quantum Model: (1) major confinement, and (2) minor confinement. Confinement is the structure of smaller particles sharing four-wave nodes and spindle torus geometry confined within the lemon of the spindle torus. Major and minor confinement structures have sub-structures of odd numbers of sub-particles.
In order to confine a set of quarks, for example, the larger quantum loops of the proton must be directionally aligned (flow and tilt) with the first and third quarks to create confinement. This requires that the first and last positions of the confined sub-particles have to have the same node sequence and match the geometric position for shared nodes with the proton loops. Low energy scales are the most revealing for the atom's structure since almost any scale/structure particle can be made at high energy in the laboratory (numerous quantum loops exist at higher energy and mass scales and larger relative radius, e.g., top quarks).
Major confinement—Major confinement (e.g., electrons and protons) is where three sub-particles align inside of the torus lemon (
The scales of the quark loops fit perfectly within protons, neutrons, and electrons. The energy flow direction through for the first and third quark is opposite that of the center quark and the proton loop. The mirror symmetry tilt of the first and third quarks match the proton while the center quark has mirror tilt and the same flow direction as the proton loop. The inner flow and apparent charge of the first and third quarks is conversely opposite of the proton or electron. Therefore, the charge of the center quark is the same as the proton or electron. This structure sheds significant light on apparent quark charge within a proton, for example.
Minor confinement—Minor confinement is quark and sub-quark confinement where five sub-particles share the lemon of a torus particle. The radius of the torus tube to the sub-particles for a minor confined particle is exactly 5:1. Pentaquarks have a lemon length of about 99.6% of the diameter of the quark torus tube, or 90% overlap. The quark confines the pentaquark at the quark's 3° node point, matching the geometry and sharing nodes with the first and fifth pentaquarks at their 15° node points, yielding a total lemon length of 99.6% or 90% overlap (
What is remarkable about the pentaquarks, however, is that the first and the fifth pentaquarks have a lattice point node at 5° that are not shared with the quark loop, placing pentaquark nodes actually outside the quark. This structure accounts for the lack of confinement and short stand-alone quark and sub-quark lifetimes relative to the proton.
Five pentaquarks of radius 65 would appear to not fit within a spindle torus with a quark tube radius of 325. However, the positions of the nodes within the sub-quark loop straddle the centerpoint and the first node is therefore not directly at the top of the loop, but offset by several degrees. The sub-particle paths are each tilted back and forth across the radical axis, further shortening the lemon length to 99.6% of the torus. Both of these factors allow the minor confinement of these sub-particles within an exact 5:1 quantum loop ratio.
The negative pole of the electron naturally aligns with the positive pole of the proton, although the relationship is not confining (
Mass Four-Wave Model
The four-dimension Julia fractal provides a useful model for single dimension changes creating an occupiable 4-D space for the resonant energy associated with mass. As the four variables of the Julia fractal shift into position, it creates a complex 4-D space (
There are several factors that are important about the math used to represent the transfer of energy. The Julia Z Power fractal is Zn+1=Zn2+K where K is a fixed complex number and where Zn does not equal infinity.
J={cεC|lim(n→∞)Zn≠∞ Where: Z0=c (7)
Zn+1=(Zn)2+K
The Julia set represents a four-wave intersection, a point, which spontaneously appears, and fills in with resonant energy. The Julia fractal also provides clearer descriptions for a “curled” or iterative space as reservoirs of potential energy. The Julia fractal set represents the math for the smallest occupiable 4-D “space” associated with mass and quantum loops and is an essential regularizer of matter.
In accordance with the Model, potentially occupiable nodes form and disappear sequentially as dimension waves leave the centerpoint. Depending on the sequence, energy transfers classically from one node to the next. Four-spaces form and disappear spontaneously throughout the metric.
A map of the contributions of one-dimension wave within the axial triplet and the occupiable positions of the quantum loop can be modeled as a wave (
The Julia fractal also illustrates that each of the three quantum loops within the particle is made up of five-dimensional sets of periodicity (
Within a metric, quantum loops can have a range of geometric organization related to its level of resident energy and the state of the Julia fractal (see
In the Model the dimension wave is considered a real wave without imaginary variable or reverse-time implications. This interpretation allows the causal definition of a specific point in space relative to the centerpoint, at a given time, overcoming limits imposed by both the transactional and Copenhagen interpretations. While this discussion is normally reserved for light, it is a function of 4-D transfer from node-to-node whether in a photon or in a quantum loop.
The Mandelbrot fractal equation is closely associated with the Julia fractal and is useful for descriptions of 6-choose-2 interactions. The 2+dimension Mandelbrot fractal describes the interaction of any two matched dimension waves associated with matter, including photon interference patterns when photons are phase aligned in double slit experiments. Photon patterns are based on the frequency of the interacting dimension waves. The Mandelbrot equations define the structure of the 4-D Julia fractal “space” as connected, disconnected, or changing depending on the variable's position inside, outside, or on the Mandelbrot borderline, respectively.
While the transfer of resonant energy from one point to the next in connected loops is a basic rule. Resonant energy transfers to the next closest position through one-dimension transfers, consistent with the one-dimension foundations of string theory at Planck scales.
The quantum loop transfer of resonant energy outward from the centerpoint may appear simple enough with the next closest position following a wave already moving outward. The transfer of resonant energy back inward to the centerpoint is also based on transfer to the next closest four-wave intersection; however, the next closest sequential position is backward and inward. This transfer, in the absence of an elemental bond, requires the individual dimensions to sweep (even slightly) so the sequential inward positions are available and are closer than the outward positions.
If the resonant energy does not eventually transfer, that is, if a sequential node is not available, the node will stay resonant, in place, for a brief period and the resonance will either 1) move forward, or 2) reverse back downward to the centerpoint, or 3) dissolve to the background, or 4) excess resonant energy is often released as photons. The iteration mechanics of the Julia fractal, and in particular, the use of the borderline (inside, outside, or on the borderline) provide a mathematical description for the internal reflectance.
The Physical Structure of Atoms
The Axial Alignment of Mass-Particles
As disclosed earlier, the electromagnetic field is generated by the resonant 6-D centerpoint. Quantum loop transfers of resonant energy through the electromagnetic field define discrete mass-scales and field characteristics, including spin, charge, and moment. Three quantum loops per mass-particle extend outward from the centerpoint and return ultimately through the centerpoint in closed loops that intersect near the positive and negative mass-particle poles. Each mass-particle quantum loop follows a unique path based on the unique sets of four-wave spaces in the quantum loop set. These loops are axially organized about a straight centerline or radical axis between the positive and negative poles of each mass-particle.
Mass-particles are axially organized within the axial triplet and the ten light-cones (
The radical axis of a mass-particle (
The radical axis can become “bent” when the conventional spin of the atom, or excitation of a single dimension, prohibits sequential transfer between nodes, or when the loop itself holds insufficient energy in its nodes to maintain its quantum loop path. For a quantum loop to be sustained, it had to stay within the maximal transfer distance usually restricted to an absolute radius.
Protons, Neutrons and Electrons
In a departure from the Rutherford centerpoint mass model, the Quantum Model shows that the space between the centerpoint and the electron is the home of mass-particle quantum loops through the electromagnetic field. Further, the electron's position is a resultant of the positions of the quantum loops. While mass is directly affected by changes to the centerpoint, the loops themselves are the basis for subtle field organization and the conventional volume associated with mass.
Axial alignment is fundamental to the organization of atomic particles, the expression of charge, and the generation of fields. The Model shows the axial structure of the neutron and proton pair and the mirror symmetry of the particle pair (
The neutron has no apparent charge because the attractive side of the particle is tied to the centerpoint. The neutron's lemon flow direction is always outward, away from the centerpoint as a result of the sequential build-up of sub-particle quantum loops. This configuration makes the neutron have no net apparent charge. The proton, on the other hand, has flow through the lemon inward with the attractive or positive pole exposed, holding the negative end of the electron.
Protons and neutrons use the same number of nodes within high-density lattice sets, 108. There are several differences between neutrons and protons: 1) the centerpoint acts as an extra point in the neutron node set; 2) the neutron's attractive charge is tied to the centerpoint, effectively negating its visible charge, 3) the proton's attractive charge is tied to the electron, 4) the neutron has a tighter relative metric scale compared to the proton within the same lattice set as it's lattice set solutions are closer together than the proton, and 5) the neutron draws energy from the shared centerpoint and consequently is the primary equilibrator of energy in the atom.
The neutron has a smaller radius by approximately 15.2%, compared to a proton measured in 3-D within the same axial triplet lattice set as evidenced by relative magnetic moments. This scale difference is a result of the metric being tighter closer to the centerpoint as the 6-choose-4 lattice sets converge. The neutron has to reduce in size before a proton can be added to the triplet because the four-wave metric diverges outward away from the centerpoint. The proton cannot form until the quantum loop's distance between all nodes is within the maximal distance between nodes that energy can transfer across. This also explains why neutrons are often added (costing less energy) before additional protons.
The flow of resonant energy through the proton and neutron follow the rules of mirror flow. That is, the flow through the respective torus lemon is opposed and the spin of the particles is opposed.
Neutrons within a triplet share the centerpoint, although each has its own path. While the positive end of the neutron is attached to the centerpoint, it is not a position that can exhibit charge since the triplet crossover is at the centerpoint. The flow of resonant energy through neutrons on opposite sides of the centerpoint is opposed in sequence as a result of the alternating reflected waves generated from within the centerpoint. Neutron/proton pairs form on both sides of the centerpoint within a common axial triplet and metric scale.
Base Ten Light-Cones More Magic Numbers
It is important to discuss the conceptual equator at this point highlighted in
The atom has a shell structure based on the supersymmetric structure of ten light-cones. As the Model will show, Major cone levels are full at the 10, 40, 70, 100, and 130 levels (
Metric Tightening
Higher levels of resonant energy tighten the metric, the quantum loops, and the centerpoints. As the metric tightens to specific levels, additional quantum loop paths become possible to add to the atom. As energy is added to quantum loops, they become smaller and tighter. It is important to note that adding energy to an individual node or quantum loop, or changing excitation levels or temperature does not affect the 3-D measurement of mass; however, as the metric adds more energy, the quantum loops and centerpoint get smaller and tighter (
Metric tightening is accomplished by adding absorbable photon energy to the atom below levels associated typically associated with heat for an extended period of time. Heat adds chaos and does not contribute to metric tightening. A tighter metric has several advantages over a looser or softer quantum structure, including:
smaller radius quantum loops are more likely to absorb and hold photon and bonding energy,
shorter gaps in the quantum loops mean the loop is less likely to be obstructed, result in a stronger field,
energy transfers more readily with a wider range of elements resulting in improved bonds and greater quantum loop resident energy storage,
In addition, the quantum loops are compact and defined vs. loose and diffuse.
Protons in different elements are not all the same size or energy level, although mass measurements in 3-D are consistent. Free protons are similar in absolute radius. All particles of major confinement with 108 nodes are described as a proton, regardless of the radius of the lattice scale from which they were formed. Metric tightening has been observed in recent experiments where adding a lambda 7 particle to a lithium nucleus tightened the radius of the atom by 19% (Tanida, K., et. al., “Measurement of the B (E2) of Lambda 7 Li and Shrinkage of the Hypemuclear Size,” Physical Review Letters, 86, 1982. Print issue of Mar. 5, 2001).
The only limiting factor to successful determination of a quantum loop is a maximal distance between nodes that energy can be transferred across. Within a tightened metric, a new particle can form when the scale of the existing mass-particle absolute radius has reduced to the point where the next largest radius particle can form within the distance constraints of the maximal distance rule. Using protons as an example, the new 108-point proton will have the same three-dimensional mass value and a similar absolute radius, despite having a larger relative radius measured in dimension waves per unit time (
Mathematically, there are numerous lattice circle solution sets that provide a 108-point lattice solution with appropriate matching quark substructures. The relative radius scale of the lattice is different and definable for each axial triplet set. A neutron/proton pair must reduce in size to add additional proton/neutron sets to a cone. In sequence, to add another proton/neutron set, the metric has to tighten further. The tightening structure does not collapse to zero since there is natural lattice spacing within dimension waves and four-wave intersections. While massive amounts of energy can be stored as structure tightening is close to infinite, lattice spacing within the particle is maintained. The Julia fractal is an iterative complex system (similar to “curled-up” string language) that has tremendous energy-holding power in four dimensions.
New quantum loops within triplet sets matching the lattice count and relative radius of the proton occur at discrete scales. Table 13 shows the relative radius of each quantum loop for pentaquarks, quarks, and protons by axial triplet set. When one quantum loop path is used, a new path based on a larger lattice scales is added. Each newly added proton or neutron has its own set of sub-particles, including quarks and pentaquarks. The relative radius of a proton does not change its 3-D mass measurement only the 5-D energy level as the radius tightens.
All successful particles with circle node count of 108 nodes are considered a proton regardless of the metric scale or relative radius. The table shows that the relative radius in dimension wave units for a hydrogen proton is 1105 dimension waves. The relative radius of the last proton in Iron is 9605. Both are considered protons and are of similar absolute physical scales in meters. Not all paths with 108 lattice points can be protons because some do not have the required substructure set confinement parameters (e.g., relative radius 2210, 108 nodes). Similarly, all particles with lattice circle solutions of 60 nodes are considered quarks, regardless of relative metric scale.
Quarks with 60 nodes exist in numerous scales which have multiple levels of energy and, geometrically, they can be substituted within protons in high-energy experiments because the distance between nodes fit within the proton. Further, the tightening metric highlights why the atomic table shows atoms generally shrinking in radius as one moves to the right on each level, generally increasing significantly at major cone levels and slightly at minor cone levels.
To add mass-particles to an atom requires the simultaneous reduction of the absolute radius and the increase of the relative radius, otherwise metric tightening. Relative radius is not an absolute radius measurement like meters, rather, relative radius is based on the number of dimension waves required to achieve and maintain energy transfer between nodes in a new quantum loop. The absolute radius controls the ability to transfer resonant energy across the maximal distance between nodes and is regularized for the most recent mass-particle added.
The First Ten Atoms
The base structure of the atom is ten light-cones with five radical axes within the 6-choose-4 lattice. Each cone can contain a neutron/proton pair and an electron aligned on the radical axis, filling the four-dimension space between the electron and the centerpoint nucleus. The first element, hydrogen, has quantum loops with radii of 1105 light waves and can be represented in its exact form of three quantum loops (with confined quarks and the electron represented) or in the more graphically oriented spindle torus geometry (
Hydrogen is a five-dimension structure with loops constructed of three sets of 6-choose-4 lattice. It does not contain a six-dimension centerpoint. Deuterium contains a neutron and a neutrino centerpoint. Hydrogen nodes are at the maximal distance that resonant energy can transfer successfully.
Helium operates on a different metric scale although it is still within the initial axial triplet. Relative to the hydrogen metric, the helium metric is significantly tighter with 2465 light waves in the local lattice required to have the quantum loops complete. Four particles align axially and at the same time are limited by the maximal distance rule (
The first ten atoms can be graphically represented as simple axial stick models (
A more complex model is a compass model (
This model and breakdown of the respective shells and sub-shells for the position of the neutron/proton/electron sets has significant implications for extremely large atoms and islands of potential stability.
Larger Atoms
Metric tightening is very important for the formation of larger atoms. However, several additional rules are required to organize larger atoms. Larger atoms build on the ten cone metric and quantum loops, adding loops as the original metric is tightened and shrinks.
First, in order to make the metric suitable to additional particle formation, the frequency of a single dimension must be increased. This serves to increases the number of dimension waves available to provide the metric parameters for the higher relative radius quantum loops of larger atoms. It is very important to note, the tightening of any single dimension only affects four of the five cone pairs. Thus, it is an improvement that allows only four of the five axes to add protons, prohibiting the fifth triplet axis from forming particles until another dimension wave intensifies its frequency. The result of this mathematical phenomenon is that protons in successive shells only add 8 protons before reaching a level of stability (for one dimension).
This phenomenon explains why the first ten atoms are a full set while the next group cuts off at eight additional protons for argon and then eight additional to get to iron. These are stable, but are not complete from a base ten viewpoint. It also explains why successive shells appear to fill in one pair of electrons a level “below” before moving on to larger atoms; the increase in a new direction is filling out the underlying base ten shell.
Second, using the Model, the cone/sub-cone formation is regularized and the causal structure for larger atoms is further embellished. Sub-cones have an opposite rotation sequences and flow paths versus the cone level directly preceding them (
Strictly speaking, the loops are not contained within the cone. The quantum loops are interwoven within and throughout the metric structure, occupying the axial triplet set lattice spaces; sometimes well outside the strict boundary of the cones. In addition, the quantum loops for a neutron actually drop behind (to the other side of the centerpoint from the cone), before looping forward or away from the centerpoint.
The cone is more than a visual metaphor; it provides the organizational limits to the position of the radical axes in larger atoms. As shown, the cone is formed by the triplet axis. As the cone gets larger, the sequence of the axes changes as the next subcone uses two of the axes and the prime (negative) of the opposite 6-choose-4 axis as part of the quantum set. Between sets of triplets, contiguous cones actually overlap; however, because 6-choose-4 quantum loop is based on independent four-wave sets of dimensions and lattice scales, they can never intersect.
Within each of the ten primary cones out from the centerpoint there is an additional level of three subcones (level 2) and out again from the three sub-cones is another level of sub-cone positions forming nine new sub-cones (level 3). As the cone axis rotates, the next level sub-cone “gears” in an opposite direction from the level below it. As the 6-choose-4 base cone axes (e.g., 1, 2, 3) rotate in sequence, the sub-cones form using the related axes set (2, 3, 1prime) and, therefore, have an opposite sequence. Each base cone sub-divides to three sub-cones. Each of the three sub-cones can further divide into three subsequent sub-cone sets (thirteen stable particles per cone).
There is a total of thirteen stable cone and sub-cone positions for each of the ten base cones, yielding a total of 130 potential positions for protons and 130 potential positions for neutrons; a total of 260 potential particle positions. On an even larger scale, there are an additional 27 sub-cones per base cone on level four (270 total additional sub-cones or 540 potential neutron/proton particles for level 4); these are not stable structures as they describe extended axial structures of radioactive elements larger than uranium. Islands of stability occur at increments of 72 neutrons and 90 neutrons.
Electron Orbits
The Model defines the position of the electrons using five dimensions within the triplet cone. Electron orbits do not intersect because of the 6-choose-4 lattice configuration providing separate metric paths for the particles within the triplet. Each cone has a separate and unique path through the metric. Further, each successive particle within the cone has a different scale for its quantum set assuring particle paths will not intersect short of catastrophe. Finally, the neutron, proton and electron share nodes, tied together, ensuring cooperation.
The complex 6-choose-4-D structure defines the “cloud” movement of the electron at the end of the proton/neutron axis (
Interior and exterior positions within the light-cone structure also affect the apparent structure of the orbit. The Model takes into account the x, y, z, w, and U components of orbits within a four-vector metric structure (
Further, the sequence of electron orbit positions can be modeled based on the base ten cones, the axial supersymmetric metric and the orientation of the light-cones to the base cone pair. These five axes of 6-choose-4 axes are only possible with the four-vector axial supersymmetric metric. Even the orbit of electrons reveals the metric tightening, ebb and flow of the energy, and dimension sweeping in the atom. The electron is released when the three shared nodes with the proton (one for each quantum loop) is no longer occupiable.
Spin and Spin-Spin
The inherent sweeping of individual dimensions, and consequently the sweeping of the 15 6-choose-4 axes, shows that a dimension wave sweeps a particle twice for every full 360° rotation. Earlier it was shown that a 6-choose-4 axis set creates matched sets of waves alternating on both sides of the centerpoint. For mass-particles in the atom these waves sweep at 180° and again at 360°. As a result, the actual lattice set for the neutron starts at the centerpoint and appears to return through the centerpoint twice for every single full sweep of a dimension. This double motion is why the spin-spin and the spin-orbit ratios are close to 2:1.
The ratio measured experimentally is slightly above two because the intersection of the three quantum loops straddles the radical axis. Therefore, to complete a full path, returning to a measurable single starting point, the calculation must go to the next lattice point beyond the radical axis (approximately 1.666° for a neutron or proton and 5° for the electron, plus or minus one triplet node). When measuring a single loop, therefore, it appears to be slightly more than two, but is actually just two.
Particle Entanglement
Particle entanglement is the separation of mirror and axial symmetric particle from the local metric. The chirality and particle characteristics are always determined from the point of origin unless acted upon by an outside force (
Non-locality is not possible if the alignments of two particles, axial triplets, or centerpoint position are disturbed. Any measurement of one mass-particle only reveals the measurement of the other particle and the relative positions of the two mass-particles to the centerpoint and originating metric, there is no instant reverse communication possible.
Two dimension waves can interact along a plane and create a 6-choose-2 interaction that develops orthogonally faster than the speed of light, e.g., two matched dimension waves converging/intersecting at 179° where the interaction would develop at faster than light speeds. However, information, as in the transfer of resonant energy from node-to-node, cannot travel faster than the speed of light. Further, for the orthogonal intersection, the individual dimension waves must already occupy these “advanced” positions to potentiate four-wave intersections; hence, the information had already “arrived” at conventional light-speed to create the 6-choose-2 interaction.
The Higgs Mechanism
The Higgs mechanism is the attraction of a mass-particle to the supersymmetric light-cone structure. The strength of this attraction is governed by several factors: the spurious positive or negative polar orientation of the mass-particle to the atom (or more accurately, the cone), the alignment of metric scale, triplet sequence, four-wave intersections, and chirality. When these characteristics are aligned, the particle is drawn with significant additional force relative to an otherwise random alignment (
A relatively unattractive force in the atom is the lack of attraction of a free quark to a proton, for example. The lemon flow of the quark is inherently weak because of the 90% overlap structure of the quark lemon to apple ratio. Consequently the apparent positive and negative charge is weak, although moment and spin remain quite strong.
Just as the Higgs provides an attractive organizing force, it also provides repulsive force for mass-particles misaligned with the light-cone.
Antimatter
Each mass-particle is constructed with three quantum loops and has positive and negative poles with volume and spindle torus geometry maintained by the quantum loops. The mass-particle has one end of the loop lemon flow over the top of the torus and then inward (positive or attractive) and each has a lemon flow outward, (negative or repulsive). Like a compass magnet on a pivot next to a strong bar magnet, the compass axis immediately orients itself to the bar magnet's field. Likewise, force alignment of two similar charge poles of mass-particles and they are repulsive. Since all mass-particle have two poles, the measured matter: antimatter ratios are about even by experiment, but the alignment of electrons, protons, and neutrons are the same for all atoms as the result of the build sequence of quantum loops. This quantum structure results in the overwhelming appearance of an excess of matter. Higgs attraction takes advantage of this attraction property, orienting the electron to the proton so the electron always appears negative.
Further, the number of protons available limits counting the observed electrons to proton ratio in the universe. A higher number of electrons certainly exists but cannot be measured using the count of available protons. Electrons have a smaller relative radius, a much higher node density, and form more easily within a spontaneous metric than substantially larger neutrons or protons.
The Quantum Model, through its descriptions of supersymmetry, charge, quantum loops, spin, and mass-particles each with positive and negative poles, provides the natural structural mechanisms for charge conjugation (particle/antiparticle) and parity inversion (mirror symmetry), consistent with the requirements of the Standard Model.
Uncertainty
Uncertainty is based largely on the inability to measure the atom directly without disturbing the element you are trying to measure. According to Feynman, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in general stated, “one can not design a piece of equipment in any way to determine which of two alternatives is taken, without, at the same time, destroying the interference pattern”; and more specifically, “The uncertainties in the position and the momentum at any instant must have their product greater than Planck's constant.” (Feynman, Richard, “Six Easy Pieces”, 1995, California Institute of Technology, p136.)
It is clear from the Quantum Model that even the slightest disruption of the resonant centerpoint will change the sequential position of four-wave intersections and is consistent with the general uncertainty principal. The four-wave ruler, Planck scale node transfers, relative radius, and the machinery for mass provided by the Quantum Model alleviates much of the uncertainty for field structure and forces at the Planck scale. Direct measurement of the atom may be best-accomplished using light absorption and emission spectra which the Model shows are a direct result of the particle's conventionally hidden geometry.
Elemental Bonding
The Quantum Model includes that there are two primary contributions that an atom can offer an elemental bond: field organization and energy transfer. First, an atom can contribute its organizational structure, including its axial field structure, strength, and chiral organization. This organization is the foundation for elemental bonding. Elemental bonding requires alignment and matching scale of the metrics.
Second, atoms can exchange energy. Energy exchange can be accomplished through the direct transfer of photons or equilibration of energy within the 6-choose-n field structure. For example, alignment of just two dimension wave structures between atoms holds two of the six dimensions in synchronous alignment while still allowing complex rotation of the remaining four axes. Energy exchange is facilitated when the field structures are matched for chirality and frequency, an indication of metric matching often-requiring one atom to tighten and the other atom to relax. Higher energy systems are tighter and lower energy systems are looser. The potential energy of the bond is stored in the quantum loop and centerpoint which both reflect the resonant energy of the system.
Elemental bonding, therefore, is substantially controlled by the character of the electromagnetic field and respective helicoid axes (tightness, alignment, twist). Importantly the metric coherence between atoms is the determiner of the angles, distances, type, and strength of bonds. Spectral hole burning and magnetic monopole structures are a result of the organizing effects of the helicoid axis.
The Model projects that there are two primary bond structures between two atoms, (1) bonding associated with dimension wave sets 6-choose-2,6-choose-4 or 6-choose-6 wave structures, and (2) axial bonding associated with aligning triplet axes which require chiral alignments as well. The Model as based on sharing 6-choose-2 organization can project bonding associated with center-faced cube structures. Changes in quantum loop resident energy and metric tightening facilitate the metric matching, alignment, and bonding of elements. The energy that is associated with a chemical bond is captured by the change in quantum loop resident energy.
The Four-Wave Photon
Particle Geometry
The photon is a resonant energy packet whose frequency, amplitude, and helicity are determined directly from the geometry of the quantum loop from which the photon emanated.
Each mass-particle quantum loop within an atom has a unique geometry based on the relative radius of the axial triplet and the tightness of the local metric. As shown in
Each particle in an atom the respective sets of quantum loops has a unique geometry. Photon information is based on the actual radius of the quantum loop and the wave-sets that comprise the loop. As shown in
Each four-wave node of a light wave is shown to have three dimension waves with the periodicity consistent with the quantum loop information from which the photon was generated and a fourth dimension with continuous period, following a crest (or trough) forward at the speed of light (
The positive or negative value of the crests and troughs is inconsequential to the Model in that the utility of the dimension wave is only to provide a closed four-space. Null space provides lattice separation, regardless of metric scale.
Each photon is comprised of three nodes of periodicity contributed by each of the three lattice sets in the quantum loop. Therefore each photon is a combination of five total dimension waves. In each of the three nodes the same dimension wave variable is used to move forward. This reveals that the structure of a photon has four dimensions of wave periodic influence, while the fifth dimension wave results in the free photon traveling at the speed of light, following a straight four-vector path away from the centerpoint. The photon follows the same dimension wave sequence as the quantum loop from which it is released.
Consistent with the torus and quantum loop from which the photon escapes, the photon will either be auguring in a left or right rotation, consistent with the periodicities of the originating quantum loop. Quantum loops and photons always share three lattice sets. In some cases, the triplet exhibits using dimensions in two or three of the lattice sets. (e.g., the triplet set ABCD, ABCF and ABDF uses dimension A in all three paths and D in only two paths). Dimension waves involved in all three-lattice sets have larger amplitude and are more opportunistic phase alignment in one dimension than where the dimension is involved in only two lattice sets (
The resonant photon is generating/emitting dimension wave information as it travels. The photon maintains its resonant energy through internal reflectance and four-wave confinement and generation of new waves in a manner similar to the centerpoint. While one wave moves forward the remaining waves maintain the periodicity of the loop and metric from which they came giving light its characteristic frequency and information signature. Telling the dimension waves apart is difficult as there is no material difference between the waves other than frequency and intensity.
The range of frequency between gamma rays and visible light waves is about six orders of magnitude; this directly reflects the scales of the tightened quantum loops from the hydrogen proton down to the black hole (Table 14). It should also be noted that the scale of the loop is relatively consistent with the scale of the free proton, 10E-15 meters.
Excited state photon emissions appear as longer wavelengths. When atoms release photons from excited states, the “disturbed” dimension wave is, for example, emitting twice as many waves per unit absolute time and the relatively slower dimension information about the remaining periods appears stretched. This is because the increased frequency dimension wave captures a smaller slice of the quantum loop periods before it is released, making the periods appear longer as the proton is measured.
The Model's geometric character provides utility in that the position of each particle on each axis can be determined along with its light signature based on the radii of the quantum loop from which the photon emanates.
The photon adds the third level of disturbance to the background associated with matter. First, the centerpoint generates dimension waves moving outward to create the potentiated magnetic field. Second, quantum loops hold and transfer resonant energy through the alignment of the fields to create the subtle organization of the atom. Third, the photon creates its own wave set as confined resonant energy transfers through space.
The Quantization of Light
Light is emitted in quanta because quantum loop nodes must be aligned to transfer resonant energy within the quantum loop or to emit photons. Quantum loops that are misaligned cannot transfer energy through the loop or emit photons without first realigning. The single rouge dimension wave that is not in alignment has to change frequency to reestablish four-wave node alignment with the quantum loop. Realignment only occurs when the misaligned wave function changes in “whole numbers” in alignment with the remaining dimension waves that make up the loop.
Excitation alignment can only occur in whole integer steps. For example, if a four-wave intersection is at distance x from the centerpoint, the misaligned wave must either relax or tighten to some multiple of distance x, in whole steps, for node realignment to occur. Only when four-wave alignment occurs can the loop resume or the photon be emitted. Emitted photons will have the energy difference between the excited state and the rest state when the flow renormalizes. Even when the misaligned loop scale matches the remaining dimension waves, four-wave realignment may not occur and consequently energy emission levels can be skipped as the excited state drops from four to one, for example; possible absorption/emission points are often skipped.
The Speed of Light
The speed of light is limited by the speed of the reflecting dimension wave generator within the centerpoint. It constantly shuttles back and forth within the confined centerpoint at the speed of light. Even if the centerpoint moves, gets bumped, or travels at speeds near the speed of light, the speed and motion of the generator is always the same. Similar to the early video game “Pong”, the ping-pong ball moves at constant speed as it reflects from each paddle, regardless of the position of the paddles.
For both the quantum loop and the photon, the energy transfer between nodes, when it occurs, is at the speed of light. The transfer of resonant energy from node-to-node follows a one-dimension wave between the nodes. The resonant energy transfer does not happen at a speed faster than a traveling dimension wave (light-speed), nor can resonant energy be absorbed at a faster rate. The transfer of energy in the quantum loop can be stalled and forced to wait for alignment of a sequential node.
Even though the photon transfers indefinitely through materially “empty” space, it is effectively transferring from four-wave node to four-wave node of its own making. The traveling photon has an advantage of always moving with a dimension wave crest, so the transfer is constantly moving forward in one dimension with the periodicity of the remaining four dimensions within the photon. For the photon, the closest next intersection position is on a four-vector line from the centerpoint. This is a straight line. The local effect of other metrics can alter the position of the next available space (curved space). If the local electromagnetic or gravitational field changes the position of the next available point, light bends in a similar fashion to the quantum loop in a particle.
Photons travel straight because the next closest four-wave intersection is straight away from the centerpoint on a four-vector. This only changes if influenced by another metric.
The Speed of the Emitter and Observer
The speed of the emitter does not change the speed of the internal reflectance of the resonant centerpoint. The faster the mass-particle moves, the resonance maintains its speed (c). The reflectance is always at light-speed. Move the centerpoint and it may take more or less time for the internal reflectance to reach the border to create a new dimension wave. In effect, this compresses the waves in front of the moving centerpoint and stretches absolute distance between waves behind the centerpoint. The forward metric compression causes the entire atom to tighten.
The metric compression on the lead side of the particle/atom causes: 1) metric tightening in direct relation to the speed of the particle (absolute time intervals and lengths change according to the speed of the system relative to the observer's frame of reference—Einstein); 2) exponential energy gain as centerpoint tightens (requires all dimensions to tighten); and 3) the remaining period wave information is “stretched” resulting in longer wavelength photons.
Applied oscillation, light, heat, or Brownian motion can cause centerpoint movement “stress” and change excitation states, field characteristics, and photon emission frequencies. This models the causal structure for the observer always measuring light at a fixed speed regardless of the speed of the emitter or the point of view of the observer.
Bell's Advance Wave
Advance (and trailing) waves shown in the Model are consistent with Bell's observations where information is ahead of the occupiable four-space forming (
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen
In a normal collection of atoms, the handedness of light appears random. Within a specific atom, however, the handedness of the particle and the light it emits is fixed and determinable (barring outside manipulation) and is solely based on the triplet and mass-particle from which the photon was released. The handedness of the photon is always determined at the quantum loop source.
Excitation
No increase in the atom's radius is required to model excitation states within the Quantum Model. A change in resonant energy within the atom causes at least one dimension wave to: 1) faster/slower sweeping, or 2) change direction and increase the number of sequential reflection positions within the resonant centerpoint, or 3) tighten the centerpoint to increase the number of waves per unit absolute time. As individual dimensions achieve whole integer wave alignment with the remaining dimension waves in the axial triplet or light-cone, the four-wave intersections and quantum loops realign and the quantum loops resume flow.
“Hit” or move the centerpoint and the resonance of a singe direction can be altered; changing the position or motion of the dimension wave generator. As discussed earlier, the dimension wave generator resonates or reflects back and forth within the centerpoint at the speed of light. Rapid oscillation of the atom creates/simulates a tighter metric and longer and stronger waves are emitted.
There are two types of QED excitation (
Type 2 is a more temporary condition associated with high-spin states. In Type 2 alignment, four-wave intersections of dimension waves follow the sweeping dimension as the rouge dimension wave reflects within the centerpoint. Hydrogen is a unique case where there is no discrete 6-D centerpoint. It is a five dimensional object (or, more accurately, three sets of four dimensions), the resonance is maintained by the quantum loops. As one or more dimension waves are disturbed, the mathematics for excitation is modeled using Type 2 resonance. Larger atoms add a component of metric tightening and Type 1 excitation. In either case, the radius of the atom does not increase when the atom is excited in a manner described originally by de Broglie.
Type 1 resonance can also be applied to the atom's six dimensions simultaneously in order to tighten or relax the metric. This type of excitation does not require whole step changes and is the fundamental tool for metric tightening. It is also the source of change required for elemental bond metric alignments.
Rotating plate example—A visual analogy to the interaction of sweeping dimensions can be constructed using two spinning pie plates, each with a single hole in the same part of the plates, near the edge. Rotating the plates in opposite directions only allows alignment of the hole where and when the holes overlap; one plate can spin at exactly two or three times the speed and the same position and the open space appear in the same position. While each increase in plate rotation speed reflects added energy to the system, the alignment of the open space occurs only in whole numbers of spins.
The Interaction of Dimension Waves
Dimension waves interact on a number of scales providing the mechanism for transferring energy between bound atoms and yields information regarding the nature of the interactions of dimension waves at the most fundamental level.
On the most basic level two matched waves interact to form an open tube, e.g., paper towel roll tube (
In more dramatic cases of 6-choose-2 interaction, the release of multiple-node energy is rapid and appears conventionally as fire—a multiple photon release on a large scale with two or more dimension parameters changing at the same time. The metric is loosened. Paramagnetic and lower relative radius atoms such as oxygen can facilitate such rapid node release and broad-scale change.
Random interactions of matched waves occur spontaneously in a vacuum and predictably in elemental bonds. Two-wave interactions can be characterized with the Mandelbrot fractal as the precursor to the four-wave Julia fractal intersections.
Since the quantum loops follow the surface of the spindle torus, photons are released from the surface. For example, when a change in dimension occurs photons are emitted predominantly from the particle's outermost pole area as mass-particles have the largest distance to cross between the outermost contiguous nodes. (Quantum loop nodes and circle lattice solutions are not equidistant.) Further, the total energy any node can hold is directly a function of inverse-square of the node's distance from the centerpoint. The outermost nodes cannot hold as much energy as inner nodes. Therefore, the upper limit of quantum loop resident energy held by a quantum loop is based on its absolute radius. Excess energy is released as photons.
Quantum loops rarely operate at maximum resident energy (total loop energy) holding capacity; i.e., the resonant energy of each node to full capacity. Even as the loops are close to capacity, the atom is constantly undergoing equilibration, an ebb, and flow of resonant energy throughout the atom. The addition of matching photons typically fills in empty node positions and tightens the metric. Each additional absorbed spectral photon strengthens the structure and puts more energy into the system by: 1) strengthening weak 4-D nodes; 2) filling more quantum loop nodes; and 3) tightening the metric (higher values of Julia connection, 0.8 to 0.99). Additional photon energy, over time, adds energy to all mass-particles throughout the atom and tightens the metric for useful applications.
Absorption
Light is absorbed into the particle as a photon interferes with a corresponding frequency (matched) dimension wave. This 6-choose-2 to 6-choose-4 interaction takes energy from the higher energy system, the photon, to the lower energy system, the empty metric, quantum loop of centerpoint. As light is absorbed by a mass-particle, energy has a propensity to be released at a fixed angle. This is a function of the axial structure of the atom, absorbing through one dimension and emitting through a quantum loop at a different angle/axis. The emitting axis is fixed, bound in a compound or crystal.
When the atom is emitting photons its metric is loosening. When the atom is absorbing energy without emitting photons its metric is tightening.
Light is absorbed principally at the point in the quantum loop where the loop is returning to the centerpoint. The metric organization that yields the quantum loop also absorbs photons easier on the inward side of the quantum loop where node-to-node transfer is stronger closer to the centerpoint and dimension wave transfers align with the photon.
Photons are released on the outward transferring side of the quantum loop as the nodes are weaker further from the centerpoint, increasingly less capable of holding excess energy. Photons also follow a single dimension wave vector away from the centerpoint. Phase alignment of light-speed transfers is dependent on 6-choose-2 and 6-choose-4 alignments. Alignment of 6-choose-2 waves from the photon and the local metric are also improved in approaching parallel positions.
There is no meaningful interaction of three dimension waves except as three sets of 6-choose-2 interactions. Even though a photon transfers though four-wave nodes, it is maintaining its four-wave structure with the use of 3 sets of periodicity per four-wave node moving along one dimension wave crest, retaining its four-wave resonant structure.
Four-wave intersections create a “closed” reflective space that is occupiable by resonant energy associated with matter (
The number of empty four-spaces far outnumbers the four-wave nodes associated with quantum loops. For example, for hydrogen there are 10E+17 “empty” four-wave spaces for every resonant four-wave node in the quantum loops. Resonant energy transferred from the centerpoint through quantum loops can independently generate dimension waves within the electromagnetic field structure.
There is no meaningful interaction of five dimension waves except as three sets of four-waves.
The 6-D neutrino is a resonant point, holds energy, but, no mass loops (
Neutrinos within different elements are different sizes based on resonant centerpoint scales and geometries, just quantum loops. Free neutrinos expand to a regularized level when they leave the centerpoint, much like single protons expand resulting in hydrogen. Resonance is the source of the observed oscillations in the neutrino.
Slit Experiments
A photon is seen as both a particle and a wave because different measurement techniques yield different observations about the same structure. A photon's resonant energy transfers from node-to-node as modeled by the Quantum Model, acting as an energy packet. However, when the waves of a photon are phase aligned, the interference of the dimensions between the point sources is the dominant visual signature. The photon energy is still transferring from point to point, but is not visible as it is made up of a collection of 2-D and 4-D waves. The same is true for similar particle experiments.
What is important about slit and delayed choice experiments is the concept of phase timing. If the constituent waves within a photon or particle are phase-matched (6-choose-2 or 6-choose-4) upon passing through two parallel slits, the waves will interfere creating the well-known interference pattern based on frequency. If waves are not in phase, they will not create an interference pattern (
The propensity for dimensions to mutually interfere, particularly when phase aligned is very important to the interaction of particle waves. Further, each photon node contains the period information of the entire photon (four-wave resonance plus one moving) and immediately reconstructs upon leaving the slit, yet when phase aligned, interferes with itself.
When a particle passes through a slit, it only acts as multiple photons because the four-wave nodes are in phase alignment with each other (although different waves from the same generator) and thereby create interference patterns. The interference to the background is generated by the photon as it is disassembled and the resonance is lost to two-wave tube interactions that pass through both slits. An intact photon or particle only passes through one slit.
Mass-particles contain quantum loops filled with phase aligned four-wave nodes. These also create a 6-choose-2 interference pattern.
Revised Equation for Hydrogen Spectra
A revised equation for the excitation of atoms and the resultant photons is based on the following parameters: (1) the excitation of specific dimensions included within the triplet (within a quantum loop, five dimension independent wave variables are considered, A2, B2, C2, D2 and F2 where one dimension has constant periodicity; and, (2) the relative radius of each atom's quantum loops. The Rydberg constant for hydrogen Rh can be substituted with the value nine times the (relative radius)2 with some minor adjustments for differences in node separation in the quantum loop.
Particle Influences
There are a select group of influences that electromagnetic radiation has on an atom. These include, excitation, stimulation, metric tightening, chaos, cooling and their respective opposites. Each influence is achieved through different techniques, and they are broadly defined below:
Excitation—The process of adding energy to an atom such that the complex interaction of at least one of the six independent dimensions is changed and the four-wave intersections are misaligned and then resume alignment to emit/absorb a photon. This is a short-term effect as the atom seeks the lowest energy state unless acted upon by an outside force. It does not contribute to quantum loop resident energy significantly.
Heat and chaos—The process of adding broad-spectrum radiation or excessive amounts of narrow wavelengths to an atom that disrupts flow and causes a cascade of photons to be absorbed and reemitted with no residual increase to the quantum loop energy of the atom. Heat actually causes the reduction of quantum loop flow and charge for the particle. Plasma takes this to the extreme where without quantum loop flow maintained, electrons are released and magnetic properties are lost.
Stimulation—The process of adding single wavelength energy at high intensity to an atom usually matching its most intense spectral line(s) to add and release photons usually of very short duration measured in seconds or parts of seconds. These involve rapid changes in energy but have little effect on quantum loop resident energy levels as excited atoms seek equilibrium rapidly.
Laser “cooling”—Adding single wavelength light to an atom at intensity sufficient to prevent the atom from reaching a stable excited state prevents quantum loops from transferring from node-to-node and four-wave node alignment, disrupting photons from being absorbed/emitted and disrupts bonds. This technique has the effect of keeping five of the atom's six dimensions (or four of five triplet sets) from flowing. This is controlled disruption of quantum loop flow such that the atom exhibits limited spectral absorption/emission (electromagnetically induced transparency). This technique does not allow for realignment of the four-wave intersections and therefore does not significantly add to quantum loop resident energy. Frozen light and electromagnetically induced transparency experiments take advantage of this phenomenon. Numerous experiments have also shown that lasers and controlled magnetic fields have the ability to organize matter and fields.
Fine and Hyperfine Structures
As shown in
The quantization of the photon energy is the result of the specific geometries associated with quantum loop sets. Each dimension sweeps independently. The Model includes that a single dimension is part of two or three node positions and this results in there being more than one possible rest value within a single quantum loop or completion set to realign four-wave nodes.
Because there are several options (e.g., multiple holes per plate) for that alignment, frequencies that are emitted have small differences in spectral energy. These differences can account for the fine structure and Lamb shifts from the basic frequencies associated with excitation states. The Lamb shift is associated with the difference between two nodes within the same lattice and fine and hyperfine structures are likely represented by the energy difference between two nodes in different lattices (1/(n4)2 scale). Smaller steps (fine structure) are based on equilibrating at a different alignment positions on the quantum loop sets and information on the remaining wave sets in the photon. Nodes are not equidistant and differences in distances between nodes on protons quantum loops contribute to observed frequency differences.
The Model shows that the diameter of the atom does not need to change as the frequency of one dimension is changed. This allows the excitation rules to apply to many-electron atoms and not just single-electron atoms.
Gravitation and Larger Scales
The Machinery of Gravity
The causal structure for gravity is simply the quantum loop. Resonant energy transfers through the quantum loop nodes causes new dimension waves to be generated along the loop path outward from the node, in all directions (
Gravity waves travel at the speed of light based on the speed of the dimension-wave resonance generated from the four-dimension nodes. Since each five-dimension particle geometry is unique to its axial triplet and light-cone set, gravity is also generated on a five-dimension basis, consistent with the Standard Model. This helps to explain why gravity is popularly viewed as a five-dimension (single cone) or ten-dimension (cone pair) phenomenon. In supersymmetry models, 25 dimensions are represented by the five axial triplet sets or the Quantum Model's five light-cone pair physical structure.
Gravity waves are generated by each mass-particle quantum loop within a 5-D cone. In the case of protons and neutrons, quantum loop energy travels traveling synchronously through 108 nodes, regardless of the particle's relative radius.
The centerpoint and the quantum loops are constantly renewed by other dimension waves. In the absence of local dimension waves associated with gravity and electromagnetic fields (e.g., deep space), particles lose resonant energy, resulting in weakened fields, failed bonding, and diminished atomic level interactions with other elements (e.g., calcium loss by astronauts). Gravitation and centripetal forces do not have the same effect on atoms.
The full model of helium shows that the centerpoint creates the four-wave electromagnetic field, and quantum loops are responsible for the generation of photons, gravity, and the organization of fields including: charge, spin, chirality, and moment. The strong force results from shared nodes between the proton and neutron quantum loops and the organization of the metric that facilitated the quantum loop organization. The weak force is a result of the resonant neutrino centerpoint while the strong force is the result of shared quantum loop nodes and the metric organization that facilitates sharing.
Gravitation Scale
The scale of gravitation is miniscule compared to the scale of the electromagnetic field, with gravity generally theorized at an incredible 10E-40 in scale relative to the strength of the electromagnetic field. To provide a comparison of the scales of the electromagnetic field to the bed within a cylinder (
Gravity waves are generated by a finite number of node positions and transfers within the particle confined by a cylinder (e.g., the proton has three quantum loops of 108 nodes, each path using three 6-choose-4 lattice sets for a total of 972 nodes per proton). The electromagnetic field is generated from the centerpoint. In the case of the confining 5-D cylinder for hydrogen proton quantum loops, the height is r=1105 and the cylinder radius is R=1492 (at 65% overlap torus). As a 5-D cylinder (to match the torus) the electromagnetic field nodes for hydrogen within just the cylinder are 2.20404E+19. The count for the proton particle is 972 ((3 loops*108 nodes/lattice)*3 lattice sets); the resulting ratio of the node counts of gravity to electromagnetic field measures exactly 4.4100E-17 using five dimensions.
As shown by the Quantum Model, the electromagnetic field is generated from the centerpoint and gravity is generated by the quantum loops. Quantum loop nodes are always at some distance from the centerpoint. This distance can be generalized as “x” distance from the centerpoint (
Logically then, the ratio of the hydrogen proton gravity wave to its electromagnetic field is (4.41E-17)2=1.95E-33 in 5-D. The ratio of gravitational to electromagnetic field strength for hydrogen is much higher than theorized today for atoms in general. This result is explained using further analysis based on the concepts promulgated in the Quantum Model.
Further exploration surprisingly revealed that the scale of gravity to the electromagnetic force is not the same for identical particles in different elements (Table 16). The gravitation to electromagnetic field scale for outer protons in heavier elements such as carbon is actually lower than helium (the first atomic triplet) because the relative radius of the carbon atom, 3,485, creates a cylinder volume of 2.17E+22, and an adjusted gravity to electromagnetic ratio of 2.01E-39 for the outermost carbon proton. For iron, the relative radius for the outermost proton is 9,605, creating an adjusted ratio of 1.05E-44. The true ratio for the iron atom between the innermost triplet (He), 1.28E-37, and the outermost and largest proton 1.05E-44, creating a calculable value for each of the triplets as shown in Table 2, reveals an average value for all iron triplets of 9.39E-39. Hydrogen is excluded in the average calculation for iron as it shares the first triplet with helium.
The scale of gravitation to the electromagnetic force is not the same for all particles. A careful examination of the data reveals that the gravity scale and the resulting scale of the electromagnetic field relative to the scale of the quantum loops (e.g., 972 nodes per hydrogen proton, relative radius 1105 versus 324 for the electron relative radius 85) for each of the triplet and mass-particles is different due to the differences in the relative radii and node count for each of the mass-particles and elements. The electron, for example, has a gravitation/electromagnetic force ratio of only 4.537E-20.
Gravitational Pulse
While all transfers between nodes occur at the speed of light following a dimension wave, there is an inherent sinusoidal pulse of disturbance generated by the quantum loops as the loops rotate inward and outward from the centerpoint. Further, dimension sweeping potentiates node positions at varying rates as the individual dimension sweeps. This is characterized as high and low node density (
The sinusoidal pulse provides an organizing “rhythm” between atoms in a large body of atoms. Further attraction is also associated with the infinite four-wave nested electromagnetic field providing organization that gets stronger as atoms get closer.
While the electromagnetic field is generated from the centerpoint at a somewhat constant rate, gravity waves serve a subtle role, moving outward and inward, and sweeping dimensions potentiating nodes at different rates around the loops, synergistically organizing four-wave fields on larger mass scales. Gravitation by a large body is generated by individual atoms whose quantum loops are ebbing and flowing in sync. One scale up from the atom, chemical bonds provide an alignment of axes and quantum loops. Larger still, biological systems also provide synchronous organization, e.g., heart muscle. The electromagnetic field of a planet or sun also provides evidence of organization.
Each quantum loop and each cone generate its own gravity pulse, which explains why gravity has been described as a 5-D (or 10-D) phenomenon, consistent with the mass-particle's quantum loop through three lattice sets.
Black Holes
The axial structure of the atom appears to be the same for the black hole (
Regardless of scale, the black hole will follow the same quantum loop rules as mass-particles described throughout the paper. A black hole operates as a mass-particle system with quantum loops and a centerpoint (like a giant neutron pair), generating extremely strong synchronous quantum loop fields and gravity.
A direct result of the radius of the black hole, quasar gamma rays exhibit frequencies six orders of magnitude shorter than visible light. Following the rules of confinement, the black hole would have a high-density lattice set with relative radius in the range of 2,158,203,125 with a node count of 756 for a single lattice within a quantum loop and each confined quark would have a relative radius of 634,765,625.
Quasar ejection aligns along the radical axis and is influenced strongly by the rotating quantum loops, providing a straight axis of departure and organization. Rotation of the black hole provides the pulsing character of the quasar. Energy absorbed by the black hole on the return side of the quantum loop is released along the outward potion of the quantum loop where the loop turns back towards the apex of the loop.
A black hole is a unified quantum loop structure. In contrast, a planet or any non-homogeneous material acts as a multi-particle system and the gravitational effects are not as unified since it acts as many incoherent/incompatible small systems.
High-energy quantum loops for a black hole cannot be interrupted or disturbed with standard photon energy levels, so there are virtually no chaos effects associated with conventional temperature; therefore a black hole is cold and the quantum loops are dark. In any system, the higher the uninterrupted energy flow level, the “colder” the system. Energy is taken in and released by the remaining eight cones structures in the black hole system at more conventional levels and four-vectors. Mass quantum loops are destroyed and information is lost entering the black hole.
The axial and centerpoint for a black hole and an atom are the same. The atom has a 15-axis structure based on the alignment of four-wave axes. A physical model of the atom's axis structure is shown in
Neutron Star Collapse
The Model describes the real field generated by the neutron to maintain its volume in a neutron star while lattice spacing maintains the structure until the quantum loops are broken. As a neutron star collapses, it releases neutrinos and high-energy photons causing the “second explosion” for larger mass stars. Large amounts of energy can be released while leaving plenty of energy for the formation of the black hole.
As shown by the Model, the quantum loop is a narrow transfer of energy from point-to-point. In the context of the star, most of the energy and matter could be blown away and still yield a massive black hole. This is the source of the black hole information paradox.
As a neutron star's energy is transformed into a black hole structure, the strength of the gravity waves can be many times that of the original star, using only part of the original energy. The complex flow of the black hole torus is not visible conventionally. When the massive quantum loop system is undisturbed (unfed), it does not emit light and the lack of free photons would indicate a very cold structure. This explains a black hole's occasional dark or inactive appearance. The black hole, consistent with a neutron structure, would have no apparent charge. The tightness of the metric down to the centerpoint singularity, and the immense electromagnetic and gravity fields would follow the same rules as any mass-particle. The black hole has a very high frequency per unit absolute time.
Dark Matter
Projecting forward with the Model, there are several possible sources for “missing dark matter”. First, the calculations for mass gravity need to be adjusted to account for real fourth, fifth and sixth dimensions. Second, the gravitational scale relative to the electromagnetic scale is not the same for all particles. Calculations and analysis reveal that hydrogen has a higher gravity value per proton than does iron. Third, within the cosmos there are scales of dimension waves larger that those required for mass, possibly providing a hidden level of organization to stellar matter. Finally, there are numerous dimension waves of energy on scales associated with matter and larger and smaller waves that provide organizational force.

Among the many ways to describe the fundamentals of the Quantum Model from Planck scale to molecules, particles and atoms can be described using words, math sets, graphical and physical structure to describe, four-wave nodes, lattice sets, quantum loops, spindle tori, sticks, topological features, and compasses as well as hybrid arrangements. A variety of dimension variables are available to describe the multitude of dynamic interactions, including but not limited to generation of background disturbance and the formation of four-wave dimension intersections.
This example demonstrates that the Model provides the fundamental organization of the metric that provides the foundation for supersymmetry. The centerpoint resonance as in
This example demonstrates that the Model provides mathematical tools for calculating a scale relationship for different mass-particles and sub-particles. Using the equations from Equations 2-5, radii and count of high-density lattice points on circles can be derived as in Table 4. These sets are assembled to describe the relative radius and node count for mass-particle quantum loops and structure, yielding Table 6.
Further, using the complex spindle torus volume equations from Table 5, the volume of the spindle torus particles derived from the geometry of the three quantum loops can be determined. The relative node density and mass-gap of the respective loops can also be calculated and when combined with the volume results yields the mass-particle scale relationships described in Table 9. The mathematical analysis also yields the mass ratios for electron-proton mass, proton-neutron mass, and the magnetic moment of the electron and proton.
This example demonstrates that the Model provides mathematical tools for calculating a scale relationship for different mass-particles and sub-particles. Using the equations from Equations 2-5, radii of high-density lattice points on circles can be derived and possible solutions of radii for quantum loops of discrete node count and relative radius as in Table 4. These sets are assembled to describe the relative radius and node count for mass-particle quantum loops and structure, yielding Table 6 and
This example demonstrates that the confinement of sub-particles such as quarks inside protons is modeled using quantum loops sharing individual nodes as in
The confinement for protons and quarks is easily differentiated. The tori structures are unique for the protons (˜65% overlap major confinement torus and 3.4 to 1 confinement ratio,
The Model is useful to the determination of the structure of mass loss during fusion and to determine the character of the strong force. Mass gap represents the sharing of nodes between quantum loops inside a particle and between contiguous particles. The intersection and shared nodes between the three quantum loops of a mass particle (Intra-mass gap) is easily represented by physical models such a
This example demonstrates that the Model provides tools for calculating a scale relationship for proton, quark, and pentaquark sets of mass-particles for larger atoms. The larger relative radius quantum loop sets for mass-particles are based on high-density lattice solutions at larger scales. The model reveals the mechanism for tightening the relative radius of a mass-particle within the atom's metric so that additional quantum loops sets, particle, can be added. Larger radii sets are found by reviewing sets of high-density lattice circle solutions and math (Equations 2-5) with rules for confinement, yielding the partial list of mass-particle sets shown in Table 13.
The Model provides utility in identifying the physical structures and rules associated with quantum physics, identifying additional areas for experimental discovery and research. The model provides the solution to supersymmetry, centerpoint resonance and four-wave dynamics, quantum loop structure and geometry, particle structure and field generation including light and gravity. The Model also unifies the four forces. Importantly, quantum distance is now determinable in terms of four-wave intersections and relative radius.
Additional sub-particles have been identified and physically modeled such as electron sub-particles and additional quark sub-particles. The specific structure of the pentaquark was not known in 2002, but was previously identified in the parent published patent application 20040080274 as a subquark, and after 2002 was identified experimentally as a pentaquark. The disclosed Model also enables determination of the six-dimension structure and resonant function of the neutrino, or centerpoint.

The Model enables the determination of the physical structure for the Higgs mechanism (
The Model demonstrates the ten light-cone metric and the organization of the sweeping dimension waves which create a complex metric in six dimensions with each cone having an opposite spin to its axially symmetric opposite (
Significant capital investment and research hours have been targeted at locating the source or structure of the Higgs force.
