INFORMATION

In ALL SPACES life is based on information.

              

The D4-D5-E6 model has a natural representation on each of the three types of substrate described in the BARDOs:

material (Massive Spacelike beings);

luminous dharmata (Massless Lightcone beings); and

clear light (Many-Worlds abstract beings).


Human life is based on interactions of chemical elements on earth.

Chemical elements are made of Massive Spacelike matter (electrons and quarks) by the laws of particle physics, represented by the D4-D5-E6 model.

Interactions of chemical elements occur through interactions with gauge bosons (such as photons) by the laws of particle physics, represented by the D4-D5-E6 model.


Massless Lightcone paricles can carry and process information.

Gamma-ray laser beams using stars as gravitational lenses could carry information throughout a galaxy.

The efficiency with which photon (and/or graviton) beams carry information is determined by how the information is coded.

Coding of information is a problem in COMBINATORICS.

The extended Golay code G24 is based on the 24-dimensional Leech lattice. The automorphism group of G24 is the Mathieu group M24.

The 24-dimensional Leech lattice can be used, by 3x3 octonion matrices, to construct the D4-D5-E6 model. The automorphism group of the Leech lattice is the Conway group .0 (dotto).

The 24-dimensional Leech lattice represents 8-dimensional space-time, the 8 first generation fermion particles, and the 8 first generation fermion antiparticles. Each vertex has 196,560 nearest neighbors, whose permutation group is dotto.

196,560 + 300 + 24 = 196,884 (300 = 25x24/2 = symmetric tensor square of 24) is the dimension of a representation space of the Monster group, whose order is the product 2^46 3^20 5^9 7^6 11^2 13^3 17 19 23 29 31 41 47 59 71, or about 8 x 10^53.

IF the 196,560 points form a group, just as the 240 of an E8 lattice form unit octonions and as the 24 of a D4 lattice form unit quaternions (this is a goal of the current work of Geoffrey Dixon), then it should be possible to form the 196,560 dimensional space of the group algebra of the Leech lattice nearest-neighbor group, and then add the 300-dim space of symmetric squared Leech lattice, and then add the 24-dim space of the Leech lattice itself, to get the 196,884-dim representation space of the Monster. By going down to the underlying 24-dim Leech lattice space, it should be possible to represent the Monster on the 24-dim space of the Leech lattice.


An abstract form of life, Artificial Life (A-Life), can be constructed on a completely abstract substrate. Simple forms of A-Life can be represented on a digital computer.

This form of life is represented by the ManyWorlds FEYNMAN CHECKERBOARD discrete lattice version of the D4-D5-E6 model.

Lattices, such as the Leech lattice, are related to Tilings can simulate Turing machines, and therefore process information.

As Chris Hillman at the math department of Un. of Washington noted, tilings can also describe Tiling Dynamical Systems, analogous to Shift Dynamical Systems.


Cerf and Adami have shown that information theory of quantum computers can give negative conditional entropies for entangled systems. Therefore negative virtual information can be carried by particles, and quantum information processes can be described by particle-antiparticle diagrams much like particle physics diagrams.

Consequently, the underlying structure of Many-Worlds abstract life forms should be fundamentally similar to that of Massless Lightcone and Massive Spacelike life forms.
