Description

This work describes the construction of a toy universe using classical logic, basic integer math, and a touch of topology. The space of this universe is Euclidean, finite, closed, and discrete, while time is Newtonian and discrete. The fundamental particles and relativity spacetime are expected to arise from more fundamental entities called bubbles. The electric charge is represented by one bit, weak charge by two bits, and color charge by three bits. The universe's linear motion is driven by one vector, while rotations are driven by another vector. The four known forces of physics are inseparable, with gravity being an extension of the static electromagnetic force, creating a deterministic model that depends on a few input parameters. The model proposes an intrinsic non-local mechanism that supports the outcomes of quantum physics without space-like signaling. This constructive approach leads to a universal cellular automaton, where information has an ontological character. The scope of the research contemplates the computation of the Poincaré cycle for a small implementation. It is not an interpretation of Quantum Mechanics but an attempt to describe nature more profoundly.
