Abstract

The intrinsic motions of light, time, and gravity are primordial forms (“drives”) of entropy, causing: 1) the creation, expansion, and cooling of space; 2) the creation, expansion, and aging of history; 3) the creation of historic spacetime, respectively. The charges of matter are the symmetry debts of light (Noether’s Theorem). Gravity pays the entropy-“interest” on matter’s symmetry debt by creating time from space – giving charge conservation an extended, causal significance in the time dimension. Light’s spatial entropy drive and expansion funds matter’s historical entropy drive and expansion, via the gravitational conversion of space to time; cosmic spatial expansion decelerates in consequence. Gravity pays the energy-“principal” of matter’s symmetry debt by the conversion of bound to free energy – via the nucleosynthetic pathway in stars, and via Hawking’s “quantum radiance” of black holes. The global gravitational field is reduced, as mass is converted to light; cosmic spatial expansion accelerates in consequence.

The rationale for gravity begins with the creation of the Cosmos – the negative energy of gravity is necessary to balance the positive energy of the “Big Bang”, so that the “Creation Event” requires zero net energy. This is the time when gravity is joined with the other forces in equal strength, and bound energy (mass) is created from free energy (light) and the structural metric of spacetime. Initially, bound energy is in the form of matter-antimatter pairs, so that creation is initiated from a state of zero net charge as well as zero net energy. Beginning in such a state of complete neutrality (perhaps as a giant quantum fluctuation of the “vacuum”, an “inflationary bubble”, or Divine Fiat), the Universe can only evolve into a state of complete conservation. (“Creation” scenarios take place within the “Multiverse”.)
Following on from its primary role of providing negative energy during the “Big Bang”, gravity plays two further major conservation roles in the evolving universe: 1) the conversion of space to time (the role we see on Earth); 2) the conversion of bound to free energy (in stars and via Hawking’s “quantum radiance” of black holes). The first role conserves the entropy drive (“intrinsic motion”) of light (free electromagnetic energy); the second role conserves light’s “non-local” distributional and metric symmetry (obeying Noether’s Theorem). These secondary conservation roles are natural consequences of the mode of action of gravity’s primary role, which is the creation of negative energy and entropy via the contraction and destruction of space (creating time), in contradistinction to the expansion and creation of space by the positive energy and entropy of light’s intrinsic motion.

Generally speaking, the “Tetrahedron Model” addresses symmetry-breaking and symmetry conservation in the macro-physical “rebound” phase of cosmic evolution (the current era of symmetry restoration, in which we live), while the “establishment’s” “Standard Model” addresses symmetry-breaking and symmetry conservation in the microphysical “cascade” phase of cosmic devolution, the period of the “Big Bang” which brings the material Cosmos into being. Noether’s Theorem of symmetry conservation provides the theoretical basis for unifying the “Standard Model” and the “Tetrahedron Model”, indicating a broad pathway of conservation law leading toward Einstein’s dream: the Unified Field Theory of physics. (See: “Table of the Higgs Cascade”.)
The Charges of matter are the symmetry debts of light (Noether’s Theorem). All forces spontaneously work together to return the asymmetric material system of bound electromagnetic energy to its original state, free electromagnetic energy, or perfectly symmetric light.

While “Information” is a good and very general characterization of the fundamental significance of matter, both for the “Tetrahedron Model” and the Universe, it is not quite “active” enough in its meaning to successfully complement and connect to the other three conservation principles of the Tetrahedron Model. “Information” is an energy state or configuration, whereas the Conservation of Energy, Entropy, and the Conservation of Symmetry are aggressively protected conservation principles. Causality is also an actively protected conservation principle, and it connects with the other three in a very profound and illuminating way, as we shall hopefully see below. Meanwhile, although “Information” is to be demoted to a secondary position in terms of activity or action among the “Tetragrammaton” of conservation laws, it obviously remains of first importance as regards the description of the significance of the system in its entirety. It is in fact the potent combination of Causality and Information that makes up matter’s “causal matrix” within the conservation domain of historic spacetime, the “Karma” and “Akashic Record” of metaphysical systems of thought. Causality and Information depend upon each other for much of their meaning, but the linkage to the remaining conservation laws is clearer and stronger in the case of Casualty. Finally, Causality necessarily implies Information, but not the reverse. Information therefore remains as a corollary of Causality. Information is a conserved parameter in quantum mechanics and in historical spacetime.

The realm of matter is a conserved, asymmetric, local form of the “ideal” global realm of light and perfect symmetry. It is due to its asymmetric character, expressed as charge and information, and its entropic drives, both positive and negative, that this alternative form of reality has the potential not just for conservation, but for change, growth, and evolution, even bringing forth life from inanimate atoms. Life evolves to self-knowledge, explores the Cosmos and new modes of creativity, producing new forms of beauty. The four principles of the “Tetrahedron Model” (conservation of energy, entropy, conservation of symmetry, causality) are as much “spiritual” principles of “divine law” as they are “scientific” principles of “natural law”. This is another example of the convergence of physical scientific thought and metaphysical, spiritual, or religious thought, of the merging of rational and intuitive world views. The”Tetrahedron Model” represents a fundamental example and iteration of a 4×3 algorithmic hierarchy of fractal models, developed in the context and format of”General Systems”. “General Systems” is a synthetic conceptual science which excels at bridging apparently disparate disciplines and world views. I will consider each of the 4 principles in turn.

The author views certain religious, mythological, astrological, and occult “World Systems” or cosmologies as examples of ancient, intuitive General Systems which display relevant features of the universal 4×3 fractal algorithm, a pattern also seen in today’s “scientific” or “rational” cosmologies. These intuitive systems are examined in the context of their General Systems properties only, without endorsement in any other sense.

The Cosmos begins with a free form of electromagnetic energy, light, the purest, simplest, and most symmetric form of energy known. through weak-force symmetry-breaking, the primordial light energy is converted into bound forms of electromagnetic energy: atomic matter. Atomic matter is a temporally conserved form of light’s spatial energy expression. In matter, light’s raw energy is conserved as mass and momentum; light’s symmetry is conserved as charge and spin; light’s entropy is conserved as gravity; light’s continuity is conserved as temporal causality. Energy Conservation, Symmetry Conservation, Entropy, and Causality are the four principle conservation parameters of the “Tetrahedron Model”, and constitute the foundation of natural or physical law which underlies and supports the Unified Field Theory of the four physical forces. (See:”The ‘Tetrahedron Model’ of the Unified Field Theory”). In this paper we explore the connections between of the four physical forces, with special emphasis upon their symmetry relations under the unifying mantle of Noether’s symmetry conservation Theorem: “The charges of matter are the symmetry debts of light”. The particles of matter bear light’s symmetry debts as charges; these charges produce forces which act to return the asymmetric massive system of matter to its symmetric massless origin in light.

“Noether’s Theorem” states that in a multicomponent field such as the electromagnetic field (or the metric field of spacetime), symmetries are associated with conservation laws and vice versa. In matter, light’s (broken) symmetries are conserved by charge and spin; in spacetime, light’s symmetries are protected by inertial forces, and conserved (when broken) by gravitational forces. All forms of energy originate as light; matter carries charges which are the symmetry/entropy debts of the light which created it (both concepts are required to fully integrate gravity – which has a double conservation role – with the other forces). Charges produce forces which act to return the material system to its original symmetric state (light), repaying matter’s symmetry/entropy debts. Repayment is exampled by any spontaneous interaction producing net free energy, including: chemical reactions and matter-antimatter annihilation reactions; radioactivity, particle and proton decay; the nucleosynthetic pathway of stars, and Hawking’s “quantum radiance” of black holes. Identifying the broken symmetries of light associated with each of the 4 charges and forces of physics is the first step toward a conceptual unification.
The charges of matter are the symmetry debts of light. In weak gravitational fields (as on planet Earth), gravity only pays the entropy “interest” on the symmetry debt of matter, converting space to time, providing an alternative entropic dimension (history) in which charge conservation (and causality) can have an extended significance. In stronger fields (as on our Sun), gravity also pays the “principal” of matter’s symmetry debt, converting mass to light; this latter reaction goes to completion via Hawking’s “quantum radiance” of black holes.
The symmetry-conserving requirement of charge invariance (and of “Lorentz invariance” in Special Relativity) is the key to understanding the local action of the forces, including the quantization of charge and other conserved parameters.
While atomic nuclei promote symmetry conservation through an exothermic nucleosynthetic pathway in stars, their associated electron shells create life through a negentropic chemical pathway on planets. Using energy and heavy elements ultimately provided by gravity, the information pathway of biology is the means whereby the universe becomes aware of and experiences itself, including evolving new modes of creativity. Carbon with its multiple 4×3 fractal resonances (5) is the crucial link between the abiotic and biotic metrics of the Cosmos.

The charges of matter are the symmetry debts of light (Noether’s Theorem). All forces act spontaneously to return the asymmetric realm of matter to its symmetric origin in light. Tracing the origin of all charges and forces to broken symmetries of light (including gravitation) is the first step in formulating a conceptual unification among the four forces of physics.
