A Deep Link Between 3D and 8D 

The Quasicrystalline Spin Network (QSN) is a 3D quasicrystalline point space on which we model physics. The QSN is deeply related to the E8 crystal. The following is a brief explanation of the relationship between the various related objects.

We begin with an 8-dimensional crystal called the E8 lattice. The E8 lattice is an 8D point set representing the densest packing of spheres in 8D. The basic cell of the E8 lattice, the Gosset polytope, has 240 vertices and accurately corresponds to all particles and forces in our (3D) reality and their interactions, specifically the way they can all transform from one to another through a process called gauge symmetry transformation (you can view a Ted Talk by Garret Lisi on this subject here).

The first operation we perform is take the E8 lattice and project a slice of it to 4D, through one of two processes: cut-and-project, or Hopf mapping. Either process gives us the same result: a 4-dimensional quasicrystal called the Elser-Sloane quasicrystal. When the E8’s basic cell, the Gosset polytope is projected to 4D, it creates two identical, 4D shapes of different sizes. The ratio of their sizes is the golden ratio. Each of these shapes is constructed of 600 3-dimensional tetrahedra rotated from one another by a golden ratio based angle. We refer to this 4D shape as the “600-Cell.” The 600-cells interact in specific ways (they intersect in 7 golden ratio related ways and “kiss” in one particular way) to form the 4D quasicrystal. This is a representation of the two 600-Cells that make up the 4D quasicrystal.

The Quasicrystalline Spin Network (QSN) is an extremely hard object to 3D-print, especially on a homemade 3D printe.

This is a beautiful shot of a 3D printing of the Quasicrystalline Spin Network (QSN), created by Russ Gries, an experimental research scientist at Quantum Gravity Research.

Russ printed on his home-made 3D printer which he's been modifying and improving over the past 4 years. This 3D print was made with FDM printing and the material used cost approx 15 CENTS!! The plastic is biodegradable PLA.

Visualizing a Hypothetical Planck Scale Substructure of Reality 

Geometer, animator and QGR research scientist Dugan Hammock displays some of his work visualizing the quasicrystalline point space on which our framework of emergence theory is built upon. This 3D point space which we call the QSN (Quasicrystalline Spin Network) is derived from a 4D quasicrystalline point space called the Elser-Sloane quasicrystal, which is a projection to 4D of the E8 lattice at a particular angle.

Quantum Gravity Research (QGR) is an independent theoretical physics research organization based in Los Angeles, founded and directed by Klee Irwin.

4-Dimensional Creatures Visit the Big Apple. Fun little video we made of of the 20-Group flying around New York City.  The 20-Group encodes 4-dimensional space, and the golden-ratio rotation is isomorphic to the curving of the 3D space into the 4th dimension.

The 20-Group is a fundamental object in the quasicrystalline spin network (QSN), the fundamental substructure of spacetime at the tiniest scale, according to emergence theory.

Our physics model is related to the algebra and geometry of the 8-dimensional E8 lattice, an 8D mathematical structure which appears to encode the particles and forces of our 3-dimensional reality.

We project a slice of E8 down to 4D, creating a quasicrystal made entirely of 3D tetrahedrons. These tetrahedrons are clumped together in groups of 20 tetrahedrons that share a vertex. These 4D groups, which we call 20-groups, are the densest possible packing of 20 tetrahedrons. A golden-ratio rotation is the only way to rotate these 20 tetrahedrons (with 80 faces) to collapse down to the minimum number (10) of parallel faces.

The importance of our 3D 20-group is that it maps to or encodes fundamental information about the eight-dimensional E8 lattice right here in our ordinary 3D physical reality.

Apparently, many have taken on the QSN 3D PRINT CHALLENGE.  Have you attempted 3D Printing the Hypothetical Substructure of Spacetime? The Quasicrystalline Spin Network (QSN) is an extremely hard object to 3D-print, especially on a fully homemade 3D printer.

French born mathematician & Hypersculptor Ray Aschheim talks about the very near future and of visualizing quasicrystals - including the Quasicrystalline Spin Network (QSN)-- that is, emergence theory's substructure of spacetime. Ray is one of a team of dedicated research scientists at Quantum Gravity Research, led by fpunder Klee Irwin. QGR researchers are hard at work developing a first-principles quantum gravity theory using E8-derived quasicrystal mathematics.

  Quantum Gravity Researcher Discusses the Quasicrystalline Spin Network.

The construction of an icosahedral quasicrystal and a quasicrystalline spin network are obtained by spacing the parallel planes in an icosagrid with the Fibonacci sequence. This quasicrystal can also be thought of as a golden composition of five sets of Fibonacci tetragrids. We found that this quasicrystal embeds the quasicrystals that are golden compositions of the three-dimensional tetrahedral cross-sections of the Elser-Sloane quasicrystal, which is a four-dimensional cut-and-project of the E8 lattice. These compound quasicrystals are subsets of the quasicrystalline spin network, and the former can be enriched to form the latter. This creates a mapping between the quasicrystalline spin network and the E8 lattice.
