The idea is to 'geometrise time'. There is -of course- a good paper
about this, called 'Geometry of Time' by Alexander Franklin Meyer. He
-btw- shows, that stars follow a fractal law of distribution.

I'm doing something with complex four-vectors (sometimes called
bi-quaternions). This is like a generalization of GR.
About this exists a good paper from Jonathan Scott:
"Complex Four-Vector Algebra"
http://pws.prserv.net/jonathan_scott/physics/cfv.pdf

My own paper you find here:
"Structured spacetime and trialities"
http://docs.google.com/Presentation?id=dd8jz2tx_3gfzvqgd6

As I have some trouble with that kind of math in practical use, I have
drawn my ideas, since for creating pictures I have some talents.

My concept is in practice the negative to the particle concept. It
assumes, that matter is a structure, composed out of connections.
This resembles a bit a tornado, that is a vortex. These vortices are
countable substructures of a continuum (in case of a tornado it's air).
The 'air' in my model I call spacetime. This is based on connections I
call 'influences'. These are modeled with quaternions.
The assumption is, that any points 'wants to get rid of' those
influences and pass them away if possible. But they bounce back, because
the neighbors 'don't want them' neither, so they got trapped at certain
spots, we call matter. The connections are than, what we call fields,
because they connect those spots.

For particle anti-particle annihilation I assume the opposite behavior
of 'un-trapped patterns'. As I assume a generally left-handed behavior
of spacetime, right-handed substructures are the anti-entities. Those
are possible, but unlikely. That is like a particle in a mirror.

The very counter-intuitive aspect of this concept is, that it could have
timelines, that are 'perpendicular' to ours. That means something like
Wick rotation to our timeline, where a new and different space appears.
With such a shift all other relations are shifted, too. That means the
connections and the vortices could be exchanged. And the change could be
done smooth. That means, we could alter the temporal context of a state.
So there are no 'real arrows of time', because time is a local concept
for any such sate.

There is no choice, observation is the final arbiter, Oldershaw!

Observation of double slit experiments is evidence of an associated
aether wave entering and exiting multiple slits. When the aether wave
exits the slits it creates interference which alters the direction the
particle travels. Detecting the particle causes decoherence of the
aether wave (i.e. turns the wave into chop) and there is no
interference.

'Interpretation of quantum mechanics by the double solution theory'
Louis de BROGLIE

"This result may be interpretated by stating that the current
statistical theory considers as spread out in the entire wave, devoid
of singularity, that which in reality is totally concentrated in the
singularity. It is on account of the foregoing interpretation that I
simultaneously considered two distinct solutions of the wave
propagation equation connected by eq. (33), one, v, having physical
reality, and the other, ø, normed, and of statistical character. I
therefore named this reinterpretation of wave mechanics the double
solution theory. By distinction of the two waves v and ø, the mystery
of the double character, subjective and objective, of the wave in the
usual theory, vanishes, and one no longer has to give a simple
probability representation the strange property of creating observable
phenomena."

A probability is not an observation.

"Next, the researchers put the quantum circuit into a superposition of
'push' and 'don't push', and connected it to the paddle. Through a
series of careful measurements, they were able to show that the paddle
was both vibrating and not vibrating simultaneously."

What is observed vibrating are the associated aether waves.

A probability does not describe what occurs physically in nature.
