By looking at the foundations of physics, we believe that new insights will lead to many higher-level concepts in physics emerging naturally with minimal complication or intervention. Fundamental symmetries run deep, and a newly-discovered method at this level may be applied to the same fundamental elements as they occur in other phenomena.

For the reader, this approach means taking a step back to appreciate physics from a different perspective; foundations run so deep that they must define what matter is, how it occurs, how it behaves, and anything that contributes to physicality and its measurements. Ideally, a good foundational theory for physics will describe all of these using very similar abstractions.

We've created a simple 'unification' of waves and particles, and an implicit model that defines fermions as being self-quantizing snapshots of bosonic waves. We have proposed a foundational sub-physical abstraction for the alegbra of waves and interactions, and used a four-wave approach to define fermionic matter networks, from which all physical phenomena can be described. The approach is elegant: it is simple, has wide coverage, and work continues to find results that can (or cannot) be reconciled with currently accepted theory.

Immediate Goals

The project has very wide potential scope, which could lead to our work being spread too thinly and ineffectively. We are currently finishing the foundational ideas, and working on a few specialist areas to bring more rigour to the work. Although we are keen to make any discoveries to be had, we do encourage others to develop ideas where there is an opportunity.

Difficulties in Foundations

Foundational work will inevitably find conflict and political problems, and thankfully we have not met any direct opposition yet. Conventional assumptions are redefined, but we are by no means arrogant in our approach: we find that the existing body of accepted work is still correct, and note how some of it can be described with fewer assumptions. In fact, many seemingly contradictory approaches may all be correct, their differences are just a matter of interpretation, perspective, and their scope. By investigating at a more fundamental level, we may see how, and why, this is the case. We do not aim to challenge the established legacy of physics; we only wish to explore and understand it in simpler terms, and derive more from a deep and complete foundational description.

Research Capacity

This project has very limited time and money resources. We find that we cannot dedicate enough time to developing the ideas, and cannot attend relevant conferences (despite invitations) due to prohibitive costs.
