I want to overview my results and my research how Bott periodicity models introspection

An Allegory: The Solipsistic Self as the Hamiltonian of a Noninteracting Fermion

Bott Periodicity Models Consciousness? Preliminary Exploration


Modeling Introspection


  • Understand how Moore's table of CT groups aligns with Stone-Chiu-Roy's table of symmetric spaces.
    • Understand how Moore relates CT group extension {$(\phi,\chi)$}-representations and super division algebra graded representations.
  • 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".
  • Relate the Clifford algebra recursions with the eighth root of unity.
  • Relate Dynkin diagrams of {$SO(n)$} and sequences of shifts in perspectives.

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.

Dynkin diagrams for {$SO(n)$}

  • A shift in perspective is a simple root.
  • Shifts in perspective are related by 120 degree angles, except for the 135 degree angle indicated in {$B_k$}
  • An additional perspective makes for {$B_k$} rather than {$D_k$}.
  • {$SO(8)$} with four shifts in perspective is the same as {$SO(0)$} with zero shifts.
  • {$SO(1)$} has zero shifts in perspective and an extra long angle that we don't see.
  • {$SO(2)$} has one shift in perspective but we don't see it.
  • {$SO(3)$} has one shift in perspective (which we see: the simple root {$x_1$}) and an extra long angle (which we don't)

Perspectives

We can identify perspectives with linear complex structures {$J_k$}.

These {$J_k$} anticommute, which means that they are fermionic, as perspectives should be. They are all distinct. {$J_aJ_b=-J_bJ_a$} implies that if {$J_a=J_b$} then {$J_a^2=0$}, and if {$J_a$} is invertible, then {$J_a=0$}.

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 {$J_k$}.

Shifts in Perspective

The Clifford algebra {$Cl_{0,2}$} and likewise {$Cl_{2,0}$} can be identified with a shift-in-perspective {$e_1e_2$} and its two perspectives {$e_1,e_2$}.

A Clifford algebra {$Cl_{0,n}$} breaks down (as a tensor product) into a shift-in-perspective {$Cl_{0,2}$} tensored with the Clifford algebra {$Cl_{n-2,0$} whose generators square to the opposite sign. The isomorphism is given by Dekter Chua and also Figueroa.

  • {$e'_1\rightarrow 1\otimes e'_1$}
  • {$e'_2\rightarrow 1\otimes e'_2$}
  • {$e'_i\rightarrow e_{i-2}\otimes e'_1e'_2$}

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.

We can translate various concepts between quantum symmetries and the Clifford algebra mappings

{$H^*=H^T$} conjugation or transposereversion {$ABC\rightarrow CBA$}
{$-H$} transposingreflection of generators
{$H$} antilinear?

Study Varlamov 2001, Varlamov 2004.

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 {$U(1)$}.
