Primordial Nucleosynthesis and Universal Cycles in the Unified Informational Spin Theory (TGU)

Henry Matuchaki

Resumo:

This work introduces a groundbreaking approach to primordial nucleosynthesis through the lens of the Unified Informational Spin Theory (TGU), which proposes that element formation follows inherited informational structures across cosmic cycles. Unlike conventional Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) models, which rely purely on thermodynamic and nuclear reaction rates, TGU incorporates a coherence factor C(τ)C(\tau)C(τ) that governs the synthesis of Helium-4, Deuterium, and Lithium-7. This novel framework provides an elegant solution to the Lithium-7 problem and explains observed variations in Deuterium abundance without requiring arbitrary parameter adjustments.

By integrating mathematical formulations, numerical simulations, and empirical data, this study demonstrates that the chemical composition of the universe is not solely dictated by random thermodynamic events but is instead a structured consequence of informational coherence inherited from previous cosmic cycles. The results challenge traditional cosmological paradigms and offer new predictive tools for understanding the evolution of chemical elements, large-scale cosmic structures, and potential future astrophysical discoveries.

Furthermore, this research lays the foundation for future investigations into the formation of heavier elements such as Beryllium and Boron, while also establishing new pathways for studying the connection between quantum information, gravitation, and cosmological evolution. The TGU model represents a shift towards a deeper, information-driven understanding of the universe, providing a theoretical bridge between early-universe physics and quantum cosmology.

description: We apply techniques recently introduced in quantum cosmology to the Schwarzschild metric inside the horizon and near the black hole singularity at r = 0. In particular, we use the quantization introduced by Husain and Winkler, which is suggested by Loop Quantum Gravity and is based on an alternative to the Schrodinger representation introduced by Halvorson. Using this quantization procedure, we show that the black hole singularity disappears and spacetime can be dynamically extended beyond the classical singularity.

description: This study examines the benefit incidence accruing to households from government expenditure on solid waste management in Olorunda Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. Data were collected from one hundred and fifty households using stratified random sampling. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics; Foster, Greer and Thorbecke (FGT) poverty index, and benefit incidence analysis. The common methods of solid waste disposal by households are backyard dumping, community dump yard, and riverbank dumping. About 6 percent and 43 percent respectively of the households were core and moderately poor. Average household spending on solid waste disposal service by the user of government facilities is N252.98, which was more than the government unit subsidy on solid waste management of N14.00. About 63 percent of the total government expenditure on solid waste management accrues to the poor but more disproportionately in favour of the moderately poor. It can be concluded that solid waste management is progressively benefitting the poor.

Who’s in drag? : strong critical thinking about prejudice, normalcy, gender and sexuality
Creators: name: Zavalkoff, Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This project undertakes a conceptual exploration of prejudice formation, maintenance, and reduction within the context of Educational Studies. It investigates some common sources of prejudice and offers an ethically defensible, realistic resource for teaching aimed at diminishing gender and sexual prejudice. In doing so, this project aims to make three important contributions to social justice research and practice. First, it brings together insights from the feminist, post-structuralist work of the identity theorist Judith Butler and from the philosopher of education Richard Paul. I argue that, taken together, their independent work on performativity, undisciplined thinking, and egocentrism offers a more complete picture of the dynamics that support and undermine social practice and belief than either can provide alone. Second, this project draws on the literature of strong critical thinking to argue that self-knowledge plays a vital but thorny role in reducing personal prejudice. To this end, it explores four interconnected aspects of self about which people may lack a deep understanding: (1) their modes of thinking, i.e., the manner in which they form their beliefs; (2) their background logics, i.e., the content and relationships of their beliefs about themselves and the world; (3) their dispositions, i.e., their habitual cognitive, affective, and behavioural inclinations; and (4) their identities, i.e., people’s own experience of who they are, what they value, and how they relate to the world. I argue that the knowledges, competencies, and dispositions essential to strong critical thinking can reduce prejudices rooted in performativity, undisciplined thinking, and egocentrism, as it helps to develop self-knowledge, improve purposeful thinking, and modify character traits. Third, this project provides educators addressing heterosexism and homophobia a conceptual tool--The Continuum of (Subversive) Drag Performance--designed to encourage strong critical thinking about gender and sexuality. The six ranges of the continuum facilitate the analysis of pervasive conceptions of gender and sexual normalcy and the wide-spread patterns of performance in which they are based. They also support educators in creating communities of inquiry that are relatively flexible, unconstrained by common conceptions of normalcy, humour-filled, and ripe with opportunities for the constructive practice of critical thinking.

description: Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation requires precise knowledge of the underlying statistical model. In Quasi ML (QML), a presumed model is used as a substitute to the (unknown) true model. In the context of Independent Vector Analysis (IVA), we consider the Gaussian QML Estimate (QMLE) of the demixing matrices set and present an (approximate) analysis of its asymptotic separation performance. In Gaussian QML the sources are presumed to be Gaussian, with covariance matrices specified by some "educated guess". The resulting quasi-likelihood equations of the demixing matrices take a special form, recently termed an extended "Sequentially Drilled" Joint Congruence (SeDJoCo) transformation, which is reminiscent of (though essentially different from) classical joint diagonalization. We show that asymptotically this QMLE, i.e., the solution of the resulting extended SeDJoCo transformation, attains perfect separation (under some mild conditions) regardless of the sources' true distributions and/or covariance matrices. In addition, based on the "small-errors" assumption, we present a first-order perturbation analysis of the extended SeDJoCo solution. Using the resulting closed-form expressions for the errors in the solution matrices, we provide closed-form expressions for the resulting Interference-to-Source Ratios (ISRs) for IVA. Moreover, we prove that asymptotically the ISRs depend only on the sources' covariances, and not on their specific distributions. As an immediate consequence of this result, we provide an asymptotically attainable lower bound on the resulting ISRs. We also present empirical results, corroborating our analytical derivations, of three simulation experiments concerning two possible model errors - inaccurate covariance matrices and sources' distribution mismodeling.

description: Martian fan-shaped landforms, especially those near ancient lakes, are key targets for missions due to their biosignature preservation potential and record of past habitability. NASA’s Curiosity and Perseverance missions have explored craters with fan-shaped landforms, with Perseverance playing a role in Mars Sample Return. On Earth fan-shaped landforms like deltas, fluvial fans, and alluvial fans have distinct morphologies and form in different sedimentary and environmental settings. Mars is believed to host hundreds of similar landforms. We use Earth-derived metrics to assess the nature of fan-shaped landforms on Mars. Specifically, we compile morphometric datasets - including fan area, catchment area, network branching angle, radial gradient, radial length, and thermal inertia - and compare them to generalized averages for terrestrial deltas, fluvial fans, and alluvial fans. Our analysis utilizes visible imagery, elevation, and thermal inertia data from the CTX, MOLA, and THEMIS Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter instruments. Martian fan-shaped landforms cluster into two distinct groups, suggesting that alluvial fans differ from deltas and fluvial fans concerning landform-to-catchment area ratios. Likely Martian alluvial fans also exhibit steeper gradients, consistent with terrestrial trends. Results indicate that most fan-shaped landforms on Mars are alluvial fans, with several plausible fluvial fans with one likely delta. Channel branching angles emerge as a key distinguisher between Martian deltas and fluvial fans. We emphasize that distinguishing fan-shaped landforms requires numerous metrics. Our analysis of Martian fan-shaped landform morphometrics indicates that similar sedimentary processes occur on both Earth and Mars, offering potential insight into the paleoclimatic conditions during their formation.

description: This study assessed the technical efficiency of fish farmers in Ibadan metropolis of Oyo State, Nigeria using the stochastic frontier production function analysis. Primary data were collected from 82 fish farmers in Ibadan metropolis. The mean efficiency value was 0.906 with majority (65.9 percent) of the fish farmers being over 90 percent efficient and about 34.1 percent having technical efficiency ranging from 50 to 90 percent. The distribution of results also showed that the fish farmers were more efficient in the use of some inputs. Changing the input combinations was observed to increase farm level efficiency. The farmers in the study area therefore need to use available input intensively and rationally so as to produce better output and be more technically efficient.

All three objects are roughly roundish, highly excited and have a high galactic $z$. The PNe displayed low densities in the shell, but relatively dense halos. A low metallicity and a relative high electron temperature were found. Comparisons with radio observations confirmed the obtained properties. The objects are very likely originating from thick disk stellar progenitors. The distances found investigating the PNe shells are somewhat lower than those derived spectroscopically with the central stars in the past.

The Perihelion Precession of Mercury According to the Unified Theory of Informational Spin

description: Title:The Perihelion Precession of Mercury According to the Unified Theory of Informational Spin (UTIS)

Abstract:This study presents a novel approach to modeling Mercury’s perihelion precession using the Unified Theory of Informational Spin (UTIS). Unlike General Relativity (GR), which attributes precession to spacetime curvature, UTIS describes it as a consequence of informational coherence and structured informational dynamics. By incorporating the recently identified informational skeleton, which accounts for planetary resonance influences, and optimizing coherence coefficients for Venus, Earth, and Mars, UTIS surpasses GR in predictive accuracy. Over a 500-year period, the optimized UTIS model aligns more closely with observational data than GR, demonstrating that planetary motion follows an intrinsic informational framework. These findings suggest that gravitational interactions are manifestations of structured information rather than merely geometric distortions of spacetime. This work provides a significant step toward a more comprehensive understanding of celestial mechanics and the fundamental nature of gravity.

description: Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are small circuits that are widely used as hardware security primitives for authentication. These circuits can generate unique signatures because of the inherent randomness in manufacturing and process variations. This paper introduces molecular PUFs based on multiplexer (MUX) PUFs using dual-rail representation. It may be noted that molecular PUFs have not been presented before. Each molecular multiplexer is synthesized using 16 molecular reactions. The intrinsic variations of the rate constants of the molecular reactions are assumed to provide inherent randomness necessary for uniqueness of PUFs. Based on Gaussian distribution of the rate constants of the reactions, this paper simulates intra-chip and inter-chip variations of linear molecular MUX PUFs containing 8, 16, 32 and 64 stages. These variations are, respectively, used to compute reliability and uniqueness. It is shown that, for the rate constants used in this paper, although 8-state molecular MUX PUFs are not useful as PUFs, PUFs containing 16 or higher stages are useful as molecular PUFs. Like electronic PUFs, increasing the number of stages increases uniqueness and reliability of the PUFs

Bar-halo Friction in Galaxies I: Scaling Laws

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It has been known for some time that rotating bars in galaxies slow due to dynamical friction against the halo. However, recent attempts to use this process to place constraints on the dark matter density in galaxies and possibly also to drive dark matter out of the center have been challenged. This paper uses simplified numerical experiments to clarify several aspects of the friction mechanism. I explicitly demonstrate the Chandrasekhar scaling of the friction force with bar mass, halo density, and halo velocity dispersion. I present direct evidence that exchanges between the bar and halo orbits at major resonances are responsible for friction and study both individual orbits and the net changes at these resonances. I also show that friction alters the phase space density of particles in the vicinity of a major resonance, which is the reason the magnitude of the friction force depends on the prior evolution. I demonstrate that bar slow down can be captured correctly in simulations having modest spatial resolution and practicable numbers of particles. Subsequent papers in this series delineate the dark matter density that can be tolerated in halos of different density profiles.

description: We propose a wave operator method to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large parameter-dependent matrices, using an adaptative active subspace. We consider a hamiltonian which depends on external adjustable or adiabatic parameters, using adaptative projectors which follow the successive eigenspaces when the adjustable parameters are modified. The method can also handle non-hermitian hamiltonians. An iterative algorithm is derived and tested through comparisons with a standard wave operator algorithm using a fixed active space and with a standard block-Davidson method. The proposed approach is competitive, it converges within a few dozen iterations at constant memory cost. We first illustrate the abilities of the method on a 4-D coupled oscillator model hamiltonian. A more realistic application to molecular photodissociation under intense laser fields with varying intensity or frequency is also presented. Maps of photodissociation resonances of H${}_2^+$ in the vicinity of exceptional points are calculated as an illustrative example.

description: In noncommutative QED photons present self-interactions in the form of triple and quartic interactions. The triple interaction implies that, even though the photon is electrically neutral, it will deflect when in the presence of an electromagnetic field. If detected, such deflection would be an undoubted signal of noncommutative space-time. In this work we derive the general expression for the deflection of a photon by any electromagnetic field. As an application we consider the case of the deflection of a photon by an external static Coulomb field.

description: The implementation of numerous programs/rural development strategies of local governments in Serbia depend partly from activities of local government,and partly from willingness of associations of physical persons and legal entities, cooperatives and other members of the LAG - to take steps to implement action plans and strategic development priorities of local communities. However, it is important to note that for greater participation of LAGs in implementing rural development policy in Serbia a number of assumptions should be fulfilled: (1) strengthening the number and capacity of socio-economic of citizens' associations, clusters, cooperatives, agricultural companies and other potential members of LAG (2) creation of more favorable economic climate/environment for bigger investment in agriculture, primary processing and many other activities associated with agriculture, which can be successfully realized in rural areas of Serbia. In further work the emphasis is being put on these two key assumptions of successful application of Leader approach in future programs and policies for rural development in Republic of Serbia.

description: Walter Huang, a 38-year-old Apple Inc. engineer, died on March 23, 2018, after his Tesla Model X crashed into a highway barrier in Mountain View, California. Tesla immediately disavowed responsibility for the accident. "The fundamental premise of both moral and legal liability is a broken promise, and there was none here: [Mr. Huang] was well aware that the Autopilot was not perfect [and the] only way for this accident to have occurred is if Mr. Huang was not paying attention to the road, despite the car providing multiple warnings to do so." This is the standard response from Tesla and Uber, the manufacturers of the automated vehicles involved in the six fatal accidents to date: the automated vehicle isn't perfect, the driver knew it wasn't perfect, and if only the driver had been paying attention and heeded the vehicle's warnings, the accident would never have occurred. However, as researchers focused on human-automation interaction in aviation and military operations, we cannot help but wonder if there really are no broken promises and no legal liabilities. Science has a critical role in determining legal liability, and courts appropriately rely on scientists and engineers to determine whether an accident, or harm, was foreseeable. Specifically, a designer could be found liable if, at the time of the accident, scientists knew there was a systematic relationship between the accident and the designer's untaken precaution. Nearly 70 years of research provides an undeniable answer: It is insufficient, inappropriate, and dangerous to automate everything you can and leave the rest to the human. There is a systematic relationship between the design of automated vehicles and the types of accidents that are occurring now and will inevitably continue to occur in the future. These accidents were not unforeseeable and the drivers were not exclusively to blame.

A multi-site ethnography exploring culture and power in post-secondary education partnerships
Creators: name: Harper, Lynette Alice Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Partnership is perceived to be a means for democratizing educational institutions, and a panacea for organizational difficulties. This multi-site ethnography examines how partnership development influences power and social relations. It traces political, social, and cultural dimensions of a partnership project to explore the complexities of developing partnerships within and between post-secondary organizations. My study focuses on a distance education project involving two B.C. colleges and a First Nations education organization. I collected data through participant observation and in-depth interviews at all three organizations during two years of partnership negotiations. The data is analyzed with a multifaceted framework constructed from critical planning, cultural production, and practice theories. I examine how participants understood the partnership, and how their understandings and activities affected partnering relationships. My interdisciplinary framework links the particulars of this partnership project with broad cultural and political processes. I learned that partnership involves crossing boundaries through complicated, dynamic, and fluid interactions. Relationships, assumptions, and activities within each partnering organization affected boundary encounters that took place within organizations as well as between them. Partnership development reproduced social relations at the same time as it produced new possibilities for cultural, political, and social change. My study concludes that a plurality of loosely linked interests, structures, discourses and practices provided options for the participants to strategically transform relationships by mobilizing cultural elements, and by negotiating power relations. Even practices that maintained boundaries, or appeared to be tightly integrated with hegemonic discourses, held the potential to transform unequal relations through a creative and productive form of agency. My study has practical implications for planners and those involved in partnership work, because it illuminates critical political and cultural dynamics that inform decision-making. It illustrates that the boundary zone of partnership is fertile ground for developing theory, and for revealing new possibilities in political, cultural, and social relations.
Affine maps of density matrices

description: For quantum systems described by finite matrices, linear and affine maps of matrices are shown to provide equivalent descriptions of evolution of density matrices for a subsystem caused by unitary Hamiltonian evolution in a larger system; an affine map can be replaced by a linear map, and a linear map can be replaced by an affine map. There may be significant advantage in using an affine map. The linear map is generally not completely positive, but the linear part of an equivalent affine map can be chosen to be completely positive and related in the simplest possible way to the unitary Hamiltonian evolution in the larger system.

The Origin of Light and the Wave-Particle Duality in the Unified Theory of Informational Spin (TGU)
Creators: name: Matuchaki

Year: 2025

description: Abstract

The Unified Theory of Informational Spin (TGU) presents a paradigm shift in physics by proposing that coherence—rather than wave-particle duality or conventional field interactions—is the fundamental principle governing the behavior of light, gravitation, and quantum systems.

This work introduces the concept of informational spin, a fundamental property that structures reality through dynamic coherence states. By redefining wave-particle duality, TGU eliminates the paradox of wavefunction collapse, explaining photon behavior as a transition between coherent and decoherent informational states. Light is described as a self-sustained oscillation of informational coherence, governed by reformulated Maxwell equations incorporating informational potentials.

Beyond electromagnetism, TGU extends to gravitational interactions, proposing that spacetime curvature is not merely a function of mass-energy but also of coherence gradients. This approach provides a new perspective on the structure of spacetime, suggesting that dark matter and dark energy may emerge as large-scale coherence effects rather than unknown particle-based phenomena.

Additionally, the practical implications of TGU reach into quantum computing, optical engineering, and high-precision measurement technologies. By understanding coherence as an intrinsic property of information propagation, this work lays the foundation for new advancements in quantum state control and coherence-driven technologies.

This paper serves as a theoretical cornerstone for reinterpreting fundamental physics through informational spin, offering testable predictions and new experimental pathways for validation.

Key Insights

✅ Light as Informational Coherence — Reinterpreting electromagnetic waves as structured coherence oscillations rather than traditional wave-particle duality.

✅ A Unified View of Gravitation — Establishing spacetime curvature as a function of coherence gradients, providing an alternative explanation for gravitational interactions.

description: Adding matter of mass m, in the fundamental representation of SU(N), to N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, we study ``generalized quarkonium'' containing a (s)quark, an anti(s)quark, and J massless (or very light) adjoint particles. At large 't Hooft coupling $λ$ >> 1, the states of spin <= 1 are surprisingly light (Kruczenski et al., hep-th/0304032) and small (hep-th/0312071) with a J-independent size of order $\sqrtλ/m$. This ``trapping'' of adjoint matter in a region small compared with its Compton wavelength and compared to any confinement scale in the theory is an unfamiliar phenomenon, as it does not occur at small $λ$. We explore adjoint trapping further by considering the limit of large J. In particular, for J >> $\sqrtλ$ >> 1, we expect the trapping phenomenon to become unstable. Using Wilson loop methods, we show that a sharp transition, in which the generalized quarkonium states become unbound (for massless adjoints) occurs at $J \simeq 0.22 \sqrtλ$. If the adjoint scalars of N=4 are massive and the theory is confining (as, for instance, in N=1* theories) then the transition becomes a cross-over, across which the size of the states changes rapidly from ~$\sqrtλ/m$ to something of order the confinement scale ~ $Λ^{-1}$.

Pedagogy of space in a democratic free school : a case study of Windsor House
Creators: name: Mills, Sarah Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis asks the question: what lessons are embedded in the consumption of space at Windsor House School. It is explored by looking at the interconnections between rules, mobility, self-regulation, authority, power, and negotiation of space. The fieldwork for this case study was conducted in the spring of 2004 while Windsor House School was located at the Clover ley site in the North Vancouver school district. The research practice is guided by ethnographic strategies of participant observation, observant participation, guided tours, discussions, and reviewing field-based documents. It is authored from a feminist, sociological position that advocates for radical pedagogy. It rests on the assumption that the use of space is a politicized activity with embedded lessons that link to ideology and pedagogy. This thesis finds that the semiotic meaning of institutional school space is being contested and transformed at Windsor House. It concludes that it is important that non-standard school spaces, such as Windsor House, exist because they expand the imagination of what is possible within restrictive spaces.
