Abstract
In the paper “Dissipation, Lorentz metric, and information: A phenomenological calculus of bilinear forms” [A. H. Louie & I. W. Richardson (1986) Mathematical Modelling 7, 227−240 sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0270025586900497], we described how our four- dimensional spacetime arose from a special bilinear form on our “description space”. For n=2, the splitting of the 4=22 dimensions into 3+1 of space and time is a natural consequence of the theory. For a general n≥2, the splitting of the n2 dimensions is ½n(n+1) for space and ½n(n−1) for time. In this paper, I revisit the theory that leads to universes with space of more than three dimensions and time of more than one dimensions.
Since 2004, I. W. Richardson and I have published two more papers in the phenomenological calculus sequence:
