Hi everyone: This is my first time posting.
For many years I have been working on a model of the universe. I recently came across the work of Max Tegmark and J�rgen Schmidhuber. I noticed that my work had many links to theirs. I use a Godelian style argument to boot strap the universe out of nothing. I also use Godel's incompleteness to continue the process by identifying this incompleteness with quantum perturbations. This would be the logic based source of something like Schmidhuber's "noise". The ongoing perturbations make any CA style model non deterministic. My CA style model is currently a 3 + 1 discrete space-time with points arranged on a face centered cubic grid. The points oscillate about their equilibrium position to represent "particles" and most "forces". Gravity is a distortion of the grid generated by these local oscillations. I would appreciate any comments on my work. A current draft outline is at: http://www.connix.com/~hjr/model01.html Yours Hal
