Episode notes
Geometric Unity's Core Idea
- Geometric Unity (GU) starts from very simple mathematical assumptions to derive complex physical reality.
- It posits two intertwined spaces where classical and quantum realities unfold separately, reducing their conflicts.
Classical Dominance over Quantum
- Classical physics acts as the more coherent guide, overshadowing quantum mechanics in dominance.
- The 'quantum fetish' overlooks that quantum systems often emerge by quantizing classical theories.
Why Frobenius Inner Product?
- The Frobenius inner product is chosen in GU due to its specific trace-reversal property aligning with observed physics.
- Minor changes in naming groups profoundly influence the interpretation of physical theories.
