”It is my opinion that everything must be based on a simple idea
and it is my opinion that this idea, once we have finally discovered it,
will be so compelling, so beautiful, that we will say to one another,
yes, how could it have been any different.”

John Archilbald Wheeler

Three-in-One 'Stringularity' may be a candidate for Wheeler's 'simple idea'.

 

Based on the core structure of the hemiola, all life aspires to and flows from the condition of music.

With the collapse of 'perceptions' and probabilities, we could say, 'listen-up and calculate'.
This means the structure of moments & momentum, consciousness and feedback.

The 'field' of 'stringularity' (quantra) is well tempered & positions the Higgs Boson 'simply, precisely & musically'.
("How could it have been anything different").

Stringularity and CERN

Here is how stringularity works out so far . . . .

• 'Phi-derivation' is musical (i.e. per-unit-musical-space-time, linking rates-ratios);
• Done this way, 'Phi' is shown as a point on a per-unit-time curve;
• When the differences between Well-Tempered-Fifths-(WT) and Perfect-Fifths-(PF) are fed back on themselves;
• Self-referentially, this clearly yields a neg-entropic curvature from 0 to 0.618 where . . . .
• 'Phi' is between steps 12 & 13 of the Pythagorean Comma, precisely at the 'Phi-Point';
• 'Phi-derivation' calculated this way, shows 'Symmetry-Binding' (SB);
• Phi calculated this way, shows SB restores equilibrium to the 'Standard Model' of particle physics when the Higgs particle is introduced.
  
• At all scales, 'Phi governs the angular momentum of the 'Golden Spiral';
• All these are all fundamentally linked to the musical per-unit-time derivation of Phi, starting from 'stringularity';
• Where squaring the circle entails muliplication by Phi;
• Which in turn corroborates that Phi-derivation has spatial equivalence to Pi-derivation (the radius:circumference ratio) . . .
• and makes patent, conditions that enable the structure of double-helix DNA molecule to emerge over time in the way that it does;
• In other words - and to address Schrodinger's question - could all life from particles to molecules and beyond, be a manifestation of feedback to and from Phi . . . . ?
  

The Higgs particle and the DNA molecule have suggestively been called the god-particle (Higgs) and the god-molecule (DNA);

We don't need to believe or disbelieve in god to increase understanding of this. We are no less inclined to be 'reverential' for observing this either.
In other words, dis/belief can distract from an understanding, which may increase as it is realized that the a/theist argument is self-referential,
i.e. trinity is integrated in stringularity, where the observed & the observer are one. There is no dichotomy, let alone one that is 'false'.

Some detail 

The Well Tempered Climate Accord was developed from these unifying principles.

**********************************************************

Here is a first pass at writing a publishable paper on 'The Stringularity Hypothesis' . . . .

The ‘Stringularity’ Hypothesis

How Pythagoras' simple string experiment, conducted in Crotone around 530 BC,
embeds a per-unit-time-based-derivation of the beautiful and irrational 'Phi'.

************************************************************************

The value of ‘Phi’ (.618…) is irrational. It is commonly derived from a ‘quadratic equation’
((the square root of 5 + 1)/2) of the Fibonacci Series (as in the Pentagon:Pentangle).

However, the value of ‘Phi’ can be quantized per-unit-time (Hz) from measuring and back-feeding
the differences in the phenomenon known as the ‘Pythagorean Comma’. Derived from ‘Stringularity’,
‘Phi’ is a point on a curve at the ‘Phi-point’, between steps 12 and 13 of the Pythagorean Comma.

It is constant anywhere from nano-to-macroscale. So, using the derivation of ‘Phi’ as a function of
steps per-unit-time, can be a relevant step in changing the cognitive paradigm where particles in
wave-fields are only probability perceptions still regarded as the ‘quantum measurement problem’.

********************************************************************

The ‘Stringularity’ Hypothesis; the ‘path-integral’ of Pythagoras’ String Experiment

The now famous string experiment of Pythagoras (~ 530 BCE) demonstrates that: -

1. When we take a string of constant length and constant tension tuned at 100 Hz
2. And halve the length of the string, the frequency (Hz) doubles from 100 Hz to 200 Hz
3. And that if we third the length of the string the frequency (Hz) trebles to 300 Hz etc . . . .

As the path-integral basis of the universally constant ‘harmonic series’, these steps start with: -

1. the ‘Fundamental’
2. the ‘Perfect Octave’
3. the ‘Perfect Octave plus the Perfect Fifth’ etc . . . .

The Pythagorean Comma (see chart above)

Proceeding from above, the Pythagorean Comma emerges as a growing ‘gap’: -

1. when we sequence seven ‘Perfect Octaves’ in Hertz (Hz), in the example shown we go through
   seven doublings 1 (each enlarging at 200%), from 100 Hz to 12,800.00 Hz,
   
   
2. when we sequence twelve ‘Perfect Fifths’ we go in the example shown we go through 12 steps
   (each enlarging at 150%) from 100 Hz to 12,974.63 Hz,
   
   
3. it becomes clear that seven Perfect Octaves (12,800.00 Hz) do not ‘commute’ exactly with
   twelve ‘Perfect Fifths’ 12,974.63 Hz. At this ‘twelfth-step’, the gap is 174.63 Hz (1.345...%)

Well-Tempered Tuning (see chart above)

1. In order to get the twelve Perfect Fifths to commute with the seven Perfect Octaves,
   the Perfect Fifths (enlarging at 150%) are ‘Well Tempered’, enlarging at 149.83070768…%)
   
   
2. The result of adopting this procedure is that twelve Well-Tempered Fifths commute exactly
   with seven Perfect Octaves (at 12,800 Hz), giving rise to what is called 'Well Tempered Tuning' (3, 4,)
   

The Hz Differences between Perfect and Well-Tempered Fifths lead to ‘Phi’

1. When step-by-step, we subtract 12 Well Tempered Fifths from 12 Perfect Fifths,
   a sequence of differences between the two paths is the result (see table final page),
   
   
2. When step-by-step, we back feed these differences into the sequence, so the largest
   difference is divided into the smaller difference that precedes it etc . . . (see table final page),
   
   
3. A twelve step sequence with negative curvature (concavity) is revealed, decreasing from
   0.615731…. just below the value of ‘Phi’, to 0.000 (see table final page),
   
   
4. When we go one step further and start at the thirteenth step of the Pythagorean Comma,
   the difference is 283.62 Hz, yielding a value 0.6199396…. just above the value of ‘Phi.

‘Phi’ is exactly at the Phi-Point between per-unit-time steps 12 & 13 of the Pythagorean Comma

1. The value of ‘Phi’ is on the overall curve at exactly the Phi-point between steps 12 and 13
   of the Pythagorean Comma (see table x4) http://www.gci.org.uk/movies/PC_12_13.mp4
   
   
2. Exponential growth curves at 200% 150% and 149.83070768…% etc are positively governed
   by acceleration (convexity) and unfold without limit towards infinity.
   
   
3. Path-integral to that, the growth curve to ‘Phi’, is governed by deceleration within the
   feedback limits or concavity that define it, countervailing the convexity of acceleration.
   
   
4. Deriving the value of ‘Phi’ from measuring the path-integral per-unit-time/space of
   ‘Stringularity’ is distinct from the time-free quadratic equation and the Fibonacci Series.
   
   
5. This path-integral procedure gives rise to an array of time-based features which suggest corroboration.

John Archibald Wheeler said, ”It is my opinion that everything must be based on a simple idea
and it is my opinion that this idea, once we have finally discovered it, will be so compelling, so beautiful,
that we will say to one another, yes, how could it have been any different.”

The beauty and the deceptive simplicity of ‘Phi’ underlies the structure, the sequencing,
the symmetry and the curvature of natural phenomena, from the nanoscale to the macroscale.

Could this musical-derivation of ‘Phi’ be a simple yet beautiful idea that helps to answer Erwin Schrodinger’s
famous question, ‘What is Life’? Might it underlie a ‘cognitive framework’ that would help better to understand
the wave:particle dichotomy, the path-integral complexity, the moment:momentum and life:death challenges
that will always face us?

Concomitant corroboration . . . . ?

1. Phi squares the circle
2. The equivalence of Phi and Pi
3. ‘Phi’ Squares the Circle
4. Phyllotaxis - the emergent and ubiquitous Phi
5. The 'symmetry binding' properties of Hz-derived Phi integration
6. the relevance of this to the Standard Model when introducing the Higgs Boson
7. Phi-Spiral (vortex) 'black-holes' from excitons to galaxies
   
   Footnotes
   

1. Seven Perfect Octaves (or Hz doublings) is about the length of a modern grand-piano keyboard.

2. This ‘non-commutation’ phenomenon has been recognized for Millennia.
Unaffected by issues of scale and whatever base Hz value is set for ‘doublings,
if 12 Well Tempered Fifths are 100%, 12 Perfect Fifths are always 101.36433…%.

3. In musical narrative, the purpose of adopting ‘Well Tempering’ was to enable music
to be written and played in all the keys (of all the 12 semitone steps in the octave)
so they are all equally ‘in-tune’ and where modulating between these keys these is
smoothed by the equality of the twelve semitone steps in the Perfect Octaves arising.

4. The classical example of this is the Well-Tempered Clavier of JS Bach (1721).
