The role of the philosopher's stone in the theory:


The following theory originates several weeks after the 22/02/1977 in Mr. O'Connors Maths Class, St. Bede's Grammar School, Highgate, Heaton, Bradford, West Yorkshire to the present day.


Information transcends everything including number and existence. If the information is true it must exist. If the information is false it can't exist. Therein lies everything including number and existence.


Everything (there are no exceptions) is information, everything that exists is true information and everything that does not exist is false information.


Taking the probability distribution for an infinite square well, the probability for the big bang being false (exists not) is high as expected, but the probability for the big bang being true (exists) is not zero, so there is a small probability that the big bang would happen.


Taking the probability distribution for an infinite square well, the probability for a single matter/anti-matter particle being false (exists not) is high as expected, but the probability of a single matter/anti-matter particle being true (exists) is not zero, so there is a small probability that a single matter/anti-matter particle would be created which means in total there will be a small residual amount of matter/anti-matter.


Mathematics is true, therefore it must exist. The complex 'plane' is true, therefore it must exist.


For every number that is true (exists) there is an infinity of numbers that are false (exists not), for every piece of information that is true (exists) there is an infinity of pieces of information that are false (exists not).


At every point in space there is
true (exists) or false (exists not), the universe has to be digital (quantum) otherwise chaos would reign.


Truth cannot contradict truth, so truth must fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, as is well known. Likewise, existence cannot contradict existence, so existence must fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle too.


Of the pieces of jigsaw puzzle that are possible (shape and colouring), some are more probable than others and the probabilities are mutually exclusive.


For any given piece of jigsaw puzzle, it is the pieces that surround it that decides if it fits, so it is the big picture that determines the small picture, not the other way round.


We can push the analogy further by imagining a jigsaw puzzle made of rubber instead of cardboard. It would stretch downward if a mass is placed on it.


If we imagine the jigsaw puzzle as being like the surface of the sea, we can get waves of change in the jigsaw puzzle.


According to the jigsaw puzzle analogy there does not appear to be a contradiction between general relativity and quantum theory, they appear to be different aspects of the same thing.


This theory applies to everything, not just this universe but all universes (multiverse) and not just the universes that exist but also the universes that do not exist.


Each jigsaw puzzle piece and therefore truth can be described by numbers.


Information is everything (observed) and everything is number (Pythagoras).


That concludes the role of the philosopher's stone in the theory.
