How Nature Computes: Reconciliation with Standard Model (Part 1)

Gene H. Barbee

Abstract


Physicists reduce data, discover fundamentals and write computer models but to understand nature we must understand how it produces itself. Many believe that everything consists of wave functions. Are they producing nature similar to the way computers use information to produce a result? This paper explores how the neutron and proton compute information about energy. The Standard model is accepted as a summary of nature’s particles and fields but the purpose of its variations need explanation. I believe the neutron/proton models are the source of nature’s laws and their Schrodinger based wave functions produce quantum entities underlying the Standard model’s color forces and quarks. Sub-components of neutron/proton field wave functions define dimensions, space, time, gravity and other properties. The possibility that algorithms in the wave functions allow nature to produce other features was examined. For example, can they compute fusion binding energy or expansion of the universe?

Part 1 of this two-part article includes: Introduction; Probability one and energy zero; and Reconciliation of Standard model and Neutron/Proton model.
