RE: Your articles, especially the Moonshine Master Toys With String Theory, Natalie Wolchover, Quanta, 2021; your arXiv (48) articlers, especially Learning Lattice Quantum Field Theories (PDF), August 2022; your Google Scholar references; even your homepage helps! Then there are all the references with inSPIREHEP; Twitter; Wikipedia: Moonshine; and YouTube: Moonshine.

Dear Prof. Dr. Miranda C.N. Cheng,

Our webpage about your work was visited a couple of times today, so I reviewed and updated that page — https://81018.com/cheng-mcn/ — to fix broken links and to think about your work again. Your work inspires me to write to you about first-principles, gauge symmetries, and our geometric model of the universe.

Our model starts with a single Planck-scale sphere and applies base-2 (doubling) expansion. Its most specific and testable result is that the gauge symmetries of the Standard Model appear to emerge as geometric necessities at specific scales.

The clearest example is a triple convergence at what we call Notation 24 (after 24 doublings):

  • Scale: ~10⁻²⁸ meters (the traditional GUT scale).
  • Symmetry: SU(5), which has 24 generators.
  • Structure: 2²⁴ (~16.7 million) spheres.

The correspondence between the doubling count, the generator count, and the known physics scale seems more than numerological. The model derives SU(2) from tetrahedral geometry and SU(3) from eightfold lattice relations earlier in the cascade.

As a longtime student of geometry and cosmology seeking rigorous feedback, the full argument for this geometric emergence is laid out here: https://81018.com/gauge-symmetries/

I would be grateful for any reaction you might have, even if it is to point out a fundamental flaw in the reasoning. Thank you for your time and for encouraging a broader view of scientific exploration.

Sincerely,
Bruce Camber

Dear Prof. Dr. Miranda C.N. Cheng,

Let’s get a little funky with the moonshine. First, we create a new universe right here and now. Start with either Max Planck or Stoney‘s base units. Many orders of magnitude smaller than fermions, we apply base-2 notation to those infinitesimal spheres, and in 101 notations we are up to the human scale and in another 101 notations we’ve captured the age and size of the universe. It is a simple map of the universe from the first moment of time to the Now. CERN’s measurements begin within notations 65-67. The femtosecond is first measured between notation 74 to 78. The geometries of string theory and Langlands programs can all be pushed into Notation-1 to Notation-64.  Why not?There iare plenty of notations for Langlands and Witten collaborations. All those using functional analysis can begin singing. Finally moonshine and the universe will begin harmonizing.

No? Yes? Maybe? https://81018.com/chart/

Thanks.

Warmly,

Bruce
