The Infinitesimal is primordial and inexplicable.
by Bruce E. Camber (first draft)
Abstract:
Science has been unable to define a primordial, infinitesimal Universe. To say that it is inexplicable and enigmatic is understatement. All our leading scholars around the world are flummoxed. All echo the desires of Hirosi Ooguri of CalTech (and also the University of Tokyo’s most-prestigious Kavli Institute). He’s trying to answer basic questions, “What happened in the earliest universe? What is the starting building block? What is dark energy and dark matter?” There is little satisfaction with the results to date. Harvard’s Cora Dvorkin is working with AI to edge closer to new insights. These two are joined by thousands of scholar-scientists, postdocs and junior scholars who have been hitting the wall. Something fundamental has to change.

Introduction. Hirosi Ooguri (CalTech) [1] and Cora Dvorkin (Harvard) [2] are leading, living scholars whose opinions are internationally respected. After reading a bit of each of their voluminous writings, I wondered if they had ever examined a base-2 exponential expansion of the universe. Assuming the Planck base units describe the first moment of time, “Have you looked at the numbers? Have you seen the 202 notations from those natural units to this day?” In this model all notations are necessarily active; each builds on the other; and, all time is now.
Is it logically plausible to define 202 base-2 notations from the first moment of time? Our most-simple mathematical map of our universe opens an infinitesimal domain. It is well explored by at least nine disciplines defined by logic and mathematics but are not on the grid. Postulated is that these studies are naturally found within those first 64 infinitesimal notations of the 202. Yet, these 64 are below the reach of physical measurement.
Research. Since 2012 we’ve explored the work of hundreds of our scholars whose concepts are not on the grid. We wrote to ask them, “Why now?” Do these numbers cohere?”
One of the dilemmas of our academic legacy has been its treatment of infinity. Instead of re-defining it, leading scholars like Max Tegmark of MIT, recommend that people stop using it altogether; Max actually says, “…retire it as a concept.” It is poor advice for many reasons; yet for this discussion, the finite has to have an origin.[3]
We have proposed an infinitesimal sphere [pi (π)] defined by the Planck base units. In this model, it is really real, yet three facets are not finite. Continuity is not finite. Symmetry is not finite. Harmony is not finite. These are better described as values and qualities that are infinite.
It’s an hypothesis. And, if were to be validated, it would change everything.
As a thought experiment, we are asking our scholars to consider these facets of an infinitesimal sphere — continuity-symmetry-harmony — as a working definition of infinity and the infinite. Scholars have not seen their work in light of these continuity equations of fundamental numbers from the first moment of time, using base-2 exponential notation, to this day. Although science and mathematics are the domain of numbers, geometries, and equations, when it came to the big bang, Planck’s base units were only recognized. by a few. Given the work of Frank Wilczek, it began to command some respect in 2001. Yet even now, some of our best scholars are dubious.
If there was a Big Bang, it was a single, turbulent event that space telescopes find no evidence.
As a thought experiment, just block the history of the big bang for the next few moments. If you do, the earliest universe appears. A base-2 natural inflation does everything the Big Bang does but starts with the most simple object in the universe, the sphere [pi (π)]. And, yes, that sphere can also quickly become the most complex thing to further define space-time. In 64 notations these spheres give particles and waves their dynamics, but it all starts with pi.[4]
Results. On 26 June 2024, the president of the National Academy of Science, Dr. Marcia McNutt, in the NAS inaugural “State of Science” address, was lamenting that the USA was falling behind in STEM recruitment and research, but quickly added, “Our country has a remarkable ability to adapt, and to learn, and to try new things.” I would counter. For the past forty years we’ve been so vested with the big bang, we have lost much of our ability to adapt, learn, and try new things. Our space telescopes, especially the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), have already sent back enough data to challenge the big bang. Yet, the most vested are also the most intransigent who are unable to look at all the data with an open mind, heart, and eyes.[5]
The first 67 notations, all within yoctoseconds from the start, open a new door to try new things. We have a limited history of working with such short time scales. Four of them have yet to be formally named by BIPM (with the help of CODATA and the ISO). This scale is literally beyond our imaginations, but these times demand that we stretch even more than we have in the past.[6
Here are the foundations of our foundations. Here is the smooth start with homogeneity and isotropy. Here, too, may also be access to the fundamentals of consciousness, the place of dark matter and dark energy, the most basic building blocks of our universe, and an exacting look at the earliest universe.
Without question, it challenges our commonsense understanding of space-time.
Sally Johnson is a science journalist who has probed the work of Ooguri and others at the Kavli Institutes. She is a risk-taker. In another article she asks, “It begs the question: Can theological or other beliefs oriented toward nature be understood on neuroscientific terms to help lay the foundation for meaningful dialogue across academic and public communities?”[7]
It is a good question. And, it is a good goal in these most divisive times.
Conclusions and summary. We encourage both Sally and Hirosi to look carefully at the first 67 notations out of the 202. We also encourage the teams of Cora Dvorkin at Harvard and Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI) [8] to consider these unexamined notations qua notations. Let’s get to work. Let’s get even more creative!
We can know this universe ever so much deeper, wider, further, and better. Thank you. -BEC

Afterthoughts
Personal reflections.
Most scholars assume the Concordance Cosmological Model or the ΛCDM model requires the Big Bang. Our Quiet Expansion does the same job because the 64 to 67 notations of the infinitesimal scale sets up the mass–energy content at 5% of ordinary matter, 26.8% of dark matter and 68.2% (no known error) of dark energy. The ΛCDM model as constituted with the big bang has small scale problem. It goes away within the base-2 expansion in 202 doublings.

There will also be many instant messages to thought leaders about these key points.
26 July 2024: @ILAC_Official The remaining five time groups (after the rontosecond & quectosecond) which includes the Plancksecond, need to be officially named and sanctioned. Whatever leadership you might muster for the inevitable, we will cheer for you. Thanks, beC (bruce e. Camber) http://81018.com/the-firsts/
