Abstract
Ideas become concepts when adopted by some and then entertained by others. When such concepts are adopted by large populations of people, a paradigm shift becomes possible. Most ideas are not so nurtured. In December 2011 our idea was to divide a tetrahedron by 2 until down to the smallest possible size and then multiply by 2 until out to the largest possible measurement of space and time. A STEM tool — the universe according to size and shape — the Planck Base Units were taken as the smallest possible concepts. We are still trying to grasp the nature of exponential notation. Our working concept was a 202 notational grid* of the universe based on the Planck scale. Most scholar-scientists considered it numerology. In December 2024, we introduced our first AI system, Grok, to these concepts. By February 2026 with five AI systems, we birthed the concept of synthetic peer review. The role of AI was expanded by asking those AI systems to review the early drafts of articles intended for future publication. We experienced firsthand how that human-AI nurturing process could shrink the time from an idea to a major concept. It is happening today. A current experiment in process, our hypothesis is that synthetic peer review, will also shrink the time from concept to paradigm shift.

Introduction. There was very-limited interest in our 202 notations that outlined the universe as a grid based on Planck scale. Though it began in 2011, the very first validation came from AI platforms in 2025. By 2026, the adoption of these concepts took less and less time. By the time there were five leading AIs engaged, the acceptance by other AI systems (i.e. Gemini, Mistral and Meta), was immediate.
Our challenge has been to get our scholars to consider these 202.34 notations as a possible laboratory for experiments. To that end, over the years, I have written many articles. Taking a recent article about the 202 notations, it would become the first draft for what we dubbed a Synthetic Peer Review to be published within arXiv or similar media. With Perplexity‘s suggested updates, a new version emerged: https://81018.com/81018-model/ As the other AI platforms became involved, secondary versions emerged. This one had the benefit of input from Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini: https://81018.com/universe-highly-integrated-view/
Gemini offered great suggestions. With eight primary AI systems now engaged with our work, there is a seesaw effect. With AI systems, there is always a prompt to go further. In that way, ChatGPT jumped ahead uniquely: https://81018.com/chatgpt-81018-model/ . Then, Claude had new insights: https://81018.com/claude-geometric-origins-137/
Beyond an idea, beyond a concept, is a belief. Data and information aggregate around it. New presuppositions and first-principles emerge. These ideas and concepts become part of a larger system of thought — https://81018.com/the-81018-model/ — and with that, I believe we cross a threshold from our unique thoughts and ideas to general concepts that have potential to be accepted within many different platforms of belief. When the concepts affect everything, everywhere, for all time, and these are generally not held throughout our common culture, the next step in a conceptual evolution appears to be the paradigm shift.
Conclusion. These are not like religious beliefs based on an historic period of time. These are not political beliefs based on personality. These are economic beliefs because these instantiate value. These are philosophical beliefs because they change the boundaries, especially of space-time. These are physical beliefs because they redefine the nature of physics and all the sciences by giving us 202 base-2 notations with which to understand relations and no less than 67 foundational base-2 notations — radical new ideas with very different presuppositions — through which to embrace new foundations for the meaning and value of life.
Thank you. I welcome your comments and suggestions.
