Lorentz and rotational symmetries from many interweaving grids

3 Replies

It is not obvious to me how you would connect grids like that. (So far i failed to construct grids but that's a different problem). You have nothing in which you can measure an angle, so you can't identify which nodes of different grids should be unified. There are ways to approximate circles, however they are really polygons, so couldn't construct irrational rotations. Furthermore you are only constructing the topology of circle and not a circle. I feel you assume the points are located in an Linear Algebra when they are only located in a Topology

No, I assume that the nodes are only located in a topology that is connected according to simple rules, while the Euclidean space with its angles emerges from the graph at a large scale. Rather than grids coming together from random directions, Imagine instead first one grid and then the second grid grows over it according to a simple rule with a default inclination. So one grid is the parent of the other grid and then you keep on adding further grids until you get a tree of grids all pointing in many different directions which leads to the rotational symmetry of euclidean space if you measure graph distances on the large scale. The drawing is just the simplest example where alpha is not irrational wrt pi, but if you change the x:y ratio from 1:2 to some other ratio e.g. 2:3, you'll get an irrational angle wrt to pi.

Do you recall in which live stream he said this?
