The Role of the 24-Cell in Space-Time Quanta and Quantum Computing

Too Long; Didn't Read
We’ve found that the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) vanishes at a specific energy scale, leading to the formation of a mass gap for space-time quanta. We propose that the 24-cell, a highly-symmetric 4-dimensional shape, represents these quanta. This geometry helps explain particle interactions, color confinement, and the flatness of the universe. The 24-cell's length matches the electroweak scale, consistent with experimental measurements. We’re also exploring its potential applications in quantum computing.

VII. CONCLUSION
We found that the GUP implied by Snyder's algebra vanishes at a specific energy scale. We define this energy scale as the scale of space-time quanta at which wavefunction collapses to form a mass. The mass of space-time quanta forms a mass gap of space-time. The covariance principle requires the space-time quanta to be a 4-dimensional object and to represent the elementary particles. Based on the geometric and symmetric analysis, we propose that the space-time quanta be represented by the 24-cell. First, it is highly-symmetric convex regular 4-polytope and self-dual. Second, The symmetry group of 24-cell is the Weyl/Coxeter group of Fs group that generates the gauge group of the standard model by the intersection of its two stabilizer groups. In addition, the 24-cell has a beautiful geometric property in which its vertices can be grouped into 3 different sets of eight vertices, each defining 16-cell with the rest defining the dual tesseract with 16 vertices. Therefore, we represent 8 vertices of 16-cell with the 8 gluons that may give a geometric interpretation of the color confinement. We represent 16 vertices of tesseract with the 12 fermions and 4 gauge bosons which may explain the flatness of the observable universe. The Higgs particle is represented as the tesseract which explains why Higgs only couple with 12 fermions and 4 gauge bosons and does not couple with 8 gluons. Vanishing uncertainty implies the creation of a mass of space-time quanta, so the length of 24-cell is identified by the electroweak length scale 10-18 m of mass creation and which is consistent with experimental measurements of the smallest measured value of charge radius of scattering for neutrinos, Higgs, Z-boson, and W boson. We think that a 24-cell symmetry group which is a solvable group of order "1152" could be useful in quantum computing. We hope to report on this application in the future.
