Bott Periodicity Models Consciousness? Preliminary Exploration
Modeling Introspection
- Undertand how Moore's table of CT groups aligns with Stone-Chiu-Roy's table of symmetric spaces.
- Consider how time reversal (forwards to backwards) can be identified with space reversal (positive to negative) if we add an extra dimension.
- Consider how the quantum symmetry {$T$} or {$C$} squaring to {$+1$} or {$-1$} expressing unconsciousness and consciousness, and how that interacts with the quantum symmetry, as in "consciously inaccessible".
Goals
I wish to model
- The structure of each division of everything
- The perspectives, the shifts in perspective, and their relationships.
- Why the division of everything into eight perspectives collapses into a division of everything into zero perspectives.
- How the three minds act as operators adding a perspective, a perspective on a perspective, and a perspective on a perspective on a perspective.
- The 24 equations which result from the 3 minds acting on the 8 divisions of everything.
- The 6 conceptions by which we conceive the 8 divisions of everything.
- The 12 circumstances isolating individual perspectives.
With regard to this model, I want to make sense of various mathematical phenomenon.
- The maps of Clifford algebras: reversing, conjugating, involution.
- The Clifford algebras given by the {$CT$}-groups and the generators {$C, iC, iCT$}.
- The homotopy groups of {$O(\infty)$} and {$U(\infty)$}.
Models
The Structure of a Division of Everything
The Chevalley action explains how an ordered set of generators of {$W$} (an ordered set of shifts in perspective) is acted upon by a basis element of {$V$} (a perspective), or a bivector - a generator of the Lie algebra for the spin group, or a monomial of basis elements.
This has us think of a division of everything as an ordered set of shifts in perspectives with perhaps an additional perspective left over.
The First and Last Perspectives
The first perspective {$J_1$} functions as {$i$}.
The last perspective {$J_k$} is related to the Hamiltonian {$H=im=J_1m$}. {$m$} commutes with {$J_1,J_2,\cdots, J_{k-1}$} and anti-commutes with {$J_k$}.
The Three Minds
The three minds are given by three interpretations for a Hamiltonian {$H$}.
- It can be interpreted as the transpose {$H=G^T$}. This is the first mind. It corresponds to {$ABC\rightarrow CBA$} and time reversal.
- It can be interpreted as the conjugate {$H=G^*$}. This is the second mind. It corresponds to {$ABC\rightarrow (-A)(-B)(-C)$} and charge conjugation.
- It can be interpreted as self-adjoint {$H=H^\dagger$}. This is the third mind. It corresponds to {$ABC\rightarrow (-A)(-B)(-C)$} and mirror symmetry.
The three minds are given by quantum symmetries and related Clifford algebra mappings.
| Unconscious | Accessible | Time reversal | usual antilinear | {$U_TH^*U_T^\dagger=H$} | Reversing antiautomorphism | {$ABC\rightarrow CBA$} |
| Conscious | Inaccessible | Charge conjugation, particle-hole | transposing linear | {$U_CH^*U_C^\dagger=-H$} | Conjugation antiautomorphism | {$ABC\rightarrow (-C)(-B)(-A)$} |
| Consciousness | Definite | Parity, space reversal, sublattice symmetry | transposing antilinear | {$U_SHU_S^\dagger=-H$} | Involution automorphism | {$ABC\rightarrow (-A)(-B)(-C)$} |
We can translate various concepts between quantum symmetries and the Clifford algebra mappings
| {$H^*=H^T$} conjugation or transpose | reversion {$ABC\rightarrow CBA$} |
| {$-H$} transposing | reflection of generators |
| {$H$} antilinear | ? |

Adjoint operators: Note that the null space of an operator {$T$} equals the complement to the range of its adjoint {$T^*$}. This means that we can describe the same space as a null space mapping to zero (algebraically) and as that which is outside of the range, which doesn't get mapped to (logically). And when we have a self-adjoint operator the null space must be simply {$0$}.
- Adjoints are like complex conjugates. A self-adjoint operator is like a real number.
Mathematical phenomena
CT groups
Gregory Moore. Quantum Symmetries and Compatible Hamiltonians., Section 16, page 138, has a table of CT groups and related Clifford algebras. There is an equivalence of categories between the {$(\phi,\chi)$}-representation of the {$CT$}-group and the graded representation of a Clifford algebra. Section 11, page 77, defines {$(\phi,\chi)$}-representation of {$G$}.
Each element of {$G$} is mapped to a real-valued matrix that is either {$\mathbb{C}$}-linear or {$\mathbb{C}$}-anti-linear, as given by {$\phi$}, and either even or odd, as given by {$\chi$}.
The {$\phi$}-twisted extension of {$G$} is relating the structure of {$G$} (which is like two switches, as with the foursome) with recurring activity, the circle {$U(1)$}.
