Majik1 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) At the link below, I derived quantum Theory from logic alone. http://webpages.charter.net/majik1/QMlogic.htm The Feynman path integral of quantum mechanics is seen as the mathematical representation of a similar construction in logic. Paths in logic are constructed as the conjunction of many implications, where the consequence of one implication is the premise of the next implication, forming steps through what appears to be paths. Any implication can be equated to the disjunction of every alternative path from the original premise to the original consequence. Then I show how implication is represented by the Dirac delta function. This then requires that disjunction (OR) be mapped to addition and conjunction (AND) be mapped to multiplication. And the Sum and Product rule for probabilities easily falls out of this formulation. When the complex gaussian distribution is used for the Dirac delta functions, the multiplications required by the conjunction allows the exponentials in the gaussian to be added and form what appears to be an Action integral. The disjunction of all of these paths gets mapped to integration as the number of possibilities goes to infinity. These integrations of the Actions in the exponential form the Feynman path integral. The above process give the 1st quantization of quantum mechanics. And the process can be iterated to give the 2nd quantization procedure of quantum field theory. It is also interesting to consider that the iteration process requires the complex numbers to become quaternion that then iterate to octonions. And it is believed that the complex numbers, quaternions, and octonions specify the U(1)SU(2)SU(3) symmetry of the Standard Model. I should also mention that there is a very brief intro to logic for the un-initiated, in order to establish language and notation. And I try to keep the math to a sophomore college level. It should only take about an hour to read the article. I've been developing this theory for about 5 years now. And no one is showing me any errors yet, though there have been some who have had questions. These questions gave rise to revisions so that I think the article should be easier to read.

Why would anyone think quantum mechanics isn't derived from logic? Granted, the actual paths of particles themselves don't follow conjunctions, they just "appear".

Majik1 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Why would anyone think quantum mechanics isn't derived from logic? Granted, the actual paths of particles themselves don't follow conjunctions, they just "appear". When you consider that in quantum mechanics particles take every possible path, then each position is no longer unique to any one trajectory, and each position seems to be an entity all to itself, which sometimes acts as the destination of some other point and sometimes acts as the starting point to some other destination. So none of the points can negate the existence of any other point, since they all appear in many different paths. And if no point can negate another, they all exist in conjunction, and the logic I developed applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found something that might interest you. http://carlbrannen.w...uantum-numbers/ http://geocalc.clas.asu.edu/pdf/UGA.pdf http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/Departments/planet/planet/Numerical_Relativity/bookGA.pdf Edited May 2, 2012 by qsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Hyde Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 You're very close to getting it right. Unitarity and Boolean logic go together, and should be part of every ones thinking about physics. Unitarity can be derived from Boolean logic in a very straightforward manner. If an occurrence is allowed by logic it has a probability of one of happening, if it's not allowed it has a probability of zero, if its allowed under some conditions and not others, it may have a probability between zero and one in general.
