RE: FYI: AI validations, Toy Models, H₀ Derivation, and an emerging Lagrangian

Dear Prof. Dr. Adam Frank:

Our page about your work had a visitor today, so I reviewed it. A lot has happened in two years!

Recently several AI platforms have been enthusiastic about our base-2 model. For the past 15 years I’ve asked  expert observers like you to help assess its validity and potential implications. Recently, I reduced to a toy model and more recently, it all rendered a simple quantitative model that derives the Hubble constant from first principles at the Planck scale.

The core of the model is surprisingly straightforward: it posits that the Hubble constant emerges not from dark energy, but from a cosmological process defined by base-2 scaling from the Planck units. A key result is a direct mathematical derivation of H₀, “Toy Model Derivation of the Hubble Constant” It is here —  81018.com/hubble-derivation/— still a highly speculative proposal, the numerical correspondence is striking.

Is this a numerical coincidence, or does it point to a deeper rather overlooked principle? We hope to discover as we continue to build on our dynamic model of a finite-infinite grid and its Lagrangian.

Thank you for your time and for your contributions to our understanding of the cosmos.

Sincerely,

Bruce

Dear Prof. Dr. Adam Frank:

Your article with Marcelo Gleiser came to my attention this morning. I suspect with the volume of emails you received and with your teaching responsibilities, you may not have ever seen my first note to you back on March 18, 2019. I have a reference page to you and your work and my notes here: https://81018.com/frank/

It seems like scholars are lining up to take down the Standard Model. I think a better path is to observe how the big bang theory can be replicated with a base-2 expansion of the Planck base units. Stoney units or ISO units work equally well.

I thought you would find this nascent model to be of some interest. Thank you.

Warmly,

Bruce

Dear Prof. Dr. Adam Frank:

Might we have a mathematical model, a chart of the universe? It surprised us. Folks like Tegmark might say it’s too simple. Nevertheless, it still just might qualify as a cosmological model and a theory of everything (TOE).

We started in 2011 by fooling around with base-2 and simple geometries going smaller and smaller down to the Planck scale. We started in our high school classroom (geometry) with a 2-inch  tetrahedron. We calculated just 112 steps (notations, jumps, groups, sets, etc) to hit Planck’s Wall. That was fun to have Zeno helping us. Then we multiplied by 2. Base-2 gets wild quickly. In just 90 jumps up from our classroom model, we were out on the edges of the universe. The kids thought it was cool. But then we started observing the numbers. The first second only emerged within notation 143. The light year in 169. Large scale structures in 197. Fascinated, we began studying cosmology and knew we were way-way over our heads.

Would you take a look at our little chart (horizontally-scrolled) and give us some feedback? Too simple? What if the beginning is more like John Wheeler’s quantum foam and sphere stacking is the beginning of geometries? We’re just guessing: http://81018.com is our home page and that particular homepage will only be accessible from here — https://81018.com/five/ — at some point in the near future.

Thanks.
