Dear Prof. Dr. Rafael Sorkin:

I was not surprised that you didn’t comment on my uninvited email from five years ago. It is a stretch beyond which anyone can be reasonably expected to take that next step. Certainly not many use irrational numbers and simple geometries within 202 base-2 notations from the Planck base units to make their case about the start of the universe.

In 2025 we started adopting AI platforms. We had five by the end of year and added three more by March 2026. Their feedback was immediate and refreshing. When we first began Freeman Dyson and Frank Wilczek were helpful. A few lesser-known scholars have been helpful. And in 2025, and Gerard ‘t Hooft provided some guidance. But, now with eight AI systems, evaluating claims and making suggestions, we can barely keep our heads above water.

Grok has made some pointed comments recently that I think you could find interesting: https://81018.com/quiet-revolution/

Dear Prof. Dr. Rafael Sorkin:

I have created a reference page to your work (this page)…of course to causal set theory in general. Within CST, I am now studying your concepts around the Hauptvermutung.

Thank you for your most-challenging work. 

I am a simple guy and got hung up on pi and have not gotten terribly far beyond an infinitesimal sphere defined by the Planck base units that stacks, packs, and begins generating its 18.5 tredecillion spheres per second. Though it sounds like a spoof, if one infinitesimal “Plancksphere” is generated for every unit of Planck Time, it is simple math. Within the simple geometries of cubic close packing of equal spheres, we have a natural generation of tetrahedrons, octahedrons and eventually the platonic geometries. Within the sphere (pi) we have the deepest possible definitions of continuity, symmetry and harmony, faces of the infinite within the finite. It drops nicely into the 202 base-2 notations from the Planck Time to the current time: https://81018.com/chart/

Where I say within the current homepage, “Something is missing,” I am referring to the first 64 base-2 notations. It is all quite hidden by the big bang theory. 

It is all too much, I know… perhaps at least you’ll have a good laugh.

Best wishes,

Bruce
