Description

Background: I’ve spent the last few years writing Logos of Aether (500+ pages, open source), which attempts to derive the Standard Model using a monadic, cellular-automata approach rather than standard continuous calculus.The Core Idea: Modern physics breaks down at singularities because our math allows for infinite density (division by zero). I replaced standard addition with "Plenum Addition" (⊕), a saturating operation similar to velocity addition in Special Relativity, but applied to information density.The Math: Instead of linear addition (1+1=2), distinctions add via: x ⊕ y = (x + y) / (1 + xy/π²)This forces a hard ceiling on information density (π), naturally eliminating black hole singularities and "infinite energy" bugs in QFT without needing renormalization.Why I'm posting: I have the theoretical derivation (including a geometric derivation of the Electron Mass as an 11th harmonic resonance), but I am moving from "Paper" to "Engine." I am looking for contributors interested in Cellular Automata and Python/JAX to help build the reference simulation ("The Rattle") to test these interactions in a grid.The book is Public Domain. I’m not selling anything. Just trying to see if this codebase runs universe-v1.0 correctly.AMA about the "Teeter-Totter Principle" or the derivation logic.

Could you build this?

No This is a 500-page theoretical physics treatise attempting to replace continuous calculus and derive the Standard Model via cellular automata, requiring breakthrough theoretical physics research rather than software development.

What it would actually take: A computational verification engine for this theory would require high-performance discrete cellular automata simulation software, numerical verification algorithms, and deep specialized knowledge in quantum field theory and differential geometry. The primary barrier is open theoretical physics research and novel mathematical proofs, which cannot be created through vibe coding.
