A More Precise Formulation of Zero Energy Ontology & the Relationship of Surfaceology to TGD

Abstract

This article consists of two parts. In the first part a more precise formulation of zero energy ontology (ZEO) is discussed based on the recent vision of quantum TGD. The development of the mathematical TGD has been a sequence of simplifications and generalizations. Holography = holomorphy vision removes path integral from quantum physics and together with the number theoretic vision might make the bosonic action unnecessary. This means that this vision allows us to solve field equations explicitly and the solution does not depend on the bosonic action. TGD allows to get rid of primary bosonic fields and fermions are free free fermions at the level of the imbedding space and their localization to space-time surfaces makes them interaction. Pair creation is made possible by the presence of exotic smooth structures possible only in 4-D space-time. This however leads to a problem with the sign of energy. This problem disappears when one realizes that fundamental fermions can have tachyonic momenta and that only the physical states as their bound states, which are Galois singlets, have non-negative mass squared and positive energy.
