Synopsis: This Big Board-little universe is to order data in a way to open a discussion about our basic assumptions — the universals and constants — that guide our thinking and work. An initial focus is Max Planck’s calculation in 1900 of the Planck Length.
Very Brief History: The work began by attempting to find new starting points for creative thinking, new insights, even breakthroughs, regarding the very nature of space and time. In the 1970s the following first principles were formulated as preconditions for a space-time moment at the zero-point defined by Planck, Stern and Einstein.
First principles: Deep within the fabric of life there is an energy, an abiding thrust to make things better, more perfect. That is the cornerstone of business, but much more. Simple logic tells us that there are three forms within functions that define an increasingly perfected state within an experience:
1. The first form that defines our humanity is order and its most basic function, a simple perfection, creates continuity.
2. The second form is a relation and its function creates symmetry.
3. The third form is dynamics and its perfection, a complex function, is harmony.
These three — continuity, symmetry and harmony — just might be the precursors of a space-time moment. |

The challenge of four simple concepts:
1. A universal scale created by doublings.
A simple scale that starts with a point at the Planck Length (PL), assumes Planck’s logic and mathematics are OK and that the PL singularity, an actual measurement, can be doubled. At each step there is a physical measurement. It takes 202.34 doublings to go from the PL to the Edges of Observable Universe (EOU). See all of the above.2. Nested geometries.
The first doubling renders two points and the second doubling four points. With four points a tetrahedron could be rendered; it is the simplest three-dimensional form defined by the fewest number of points. The third doubling renders eight points. With just seven of those points, a pentagonal cluster of five tetrahedrons can be inscribed (Illustration 1). With the fourth doubling, now sixteen points, the icosahedron with its thirteen vertices (points) can be created. (Illustration 2). A tetrahedron within the pentagonal cluster (Illus. 1) can inscribe four smaller tetrahedra and an octahedron within itself with just six of those points (and by dividing each edge in half). More… |

3. Facts and Guesses.
Simple math renders simple facts. What can be done with these numbers, images and forms? What functions can be intuited? Perhaps a challenge to students could be to use buckyballs and the basic Platonic solids to build a most primitive kind of machine. There will be more to come.This quest is a thought experiment that begins at the PL and proceeds with facts and guesses to edge of the observable universe.4. Non-commutative geometry, irrational numbers…
Another idiosyncratic application to number theory, non-commutative geometries, irrational numbers, and dimensionful numbers is to see all of these as the results of a modulus of transformation and gaps between faces of less than 1.5° (as seen in the seven-point, five-regular tetrahedra when each shares an edge). Much more to come… |
