Hamilton's Quaternion
in
Classical Format
vis-à-vis
Hamilton's Quaternion Interpreted
using
Quantonics' Subjective Minus One


by Doug Renselle

First allow us to quote Dr. Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac himself:

"...We need a theory conforming to the principles of quantum mechanics, but it is quite a difficult
matter to get such a theory....One can get a much simpler theory if one goes over to the
corresponding classical mechanics, which is the form which quantum mechanics takes
when one makes Planck's constant tend to zero4."

and

"So I take the point of view that the Hamiltonian6 is really very important for quantum theory...In fact,
without using Hamiltonian methods one cannot solve some of the simplest problems in quantum theory,
for example the Balmer (, Johann Jakob) formula for hydrogen, which was the very beginning of quantum mechanics."

Both quotes are from Dirac's 1964 Lecture 1 at Yeshiva University, New York.
(Our italicization of Dirac's thelogos.)

and

You need to understand, using a quantum world view, basic issues of a classical world view of Hamilton's Quaternion.

Here is a Hamiltonian quaternion with Quantonics substitutions
for quantum negational subjectivity:

First, realize that all operations in our script below are quantum. So our minus signs are quantum in our quantum~notation.
Compare negation and cancellation, classical vav quantum. Doug - 30Dec2012.

First we need quantum/Quantonic iq, -1q, 1q, 0q, and 2q analogues of classical i, -1, 1, 0, and 2.

If we assume that

 

iq -1q ei

 

where our uses of '-, e, , and i' are quantum subjective,
and if we assume that

  2q

iq2q

-1q ei
 

where our power of quantum_two is a n¤nclassical quantum_square,
and our quantum '1' we represent as


 

1q =

"Suppes presented what he called
'the single most powerful argument for the use of
a non-classical logic in quantum mechanics.'"

"As Suppes explicitly declared,
a probability should be assigned to every element of
the [quantum]algebra of event[processe]s..."
p. 359, Max Jammer, The Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics.
(Our brackets and italicization of thelogos.)

Jammer rephrases from,
'The probabilistic argument for a non-classical logic of quantum mechanics,'
Philosophy of Science 33, 14-21 (1966), P. Suppes.

"Suppes' approach...in the opinion of Wolfgang Stegmüller is
'the only convincing argument' for quantum logic..." p. 360, Jammer. TPoQM.

We agree, but feel that Suppes did not go far enough.
Our approach is to assign potentia for unlimited probabilities and likelihoods
to each quanton's interrelationships. We do this using quantonics' fuzzons.
We offer a novel quantonics' fuzzons to fermion ontology for your consideration.

Using our Quantonic approach2, keep on your quantum stages importance of quantum comtext.
Just above under quaternionKq both of those quantum 0qs are n¤t classically identical!
Assess Uq, Iq, and Jq similarly!
They have omniffering comtexts which we can/should show in some quantum realistic fashion.
Ditto our quantum iqs. For now, since we are breaking n¤vel ground, let's just assume Kij
subscripts as adequate quantum comtextual locales. It becomes rather complex at this juncture,
since quantum comtext is a n¤ntrivial topic for both discussion and innovation.
We need to include heterogeneous timings, momentumings, etc.
We see eidetically, heuristically how real3 quantum comtext issi pr¤cess.

Readers, amd students of Quantonics should also notice how
we can use our iq, -1q, 0q, 1q, and 2q to talk about amd
describe all areas of quantum science in which it is impossible to
describe nature's quantum subjectivity using classical mechanics.

As an example comsider quantum 0, quantum 1 and quantum 2 regarding quantum spin.
We achieve much more enlightening perspectives and memes of quantum nature when we view
odd (Fermi statistics) amd even (Bose statistics) multiples of fermionic ½ spin when
we view them as fermionic 1q/2q spin multiples. (Quantum divisi¤n. AKA quantum divide. J)

Another example is classical gravity as spin 2 vis-à-vis quantum gravity as spin 2q.
Our view is: antigravity is n¤nachievable using classical notions of spin 2.
Antigravity is (in our view) achievable using quantonic/quantum notions of spin 2q.

Notes:

1 - Hamilton's "hypercomplexity" illustrates quantum reality's own heterogeneity. It shows a second set of complex variables. Both are what we call "conjugates." It does n¤t show Quantonics' quantum comjugation, which requires, as we show above, introducing real quantum subjectivity. Of course, introducing quantum subjectivity breaks all classical rules which depend upon classical immutability/stability/stoppability (except for unitemporal objective motion), and classical Aristotelian/EEMD/Sheffer-stroke-binary-alternative-denial/lisr classically-negatable, contradictable objective independence.

2 - What we have done here is apply Quantonic n¤mbærs to Hamilton's quaternions in their representation (each of U, I, J, K are two-space planes and hyperplanes; their combination is three-space hyper volumes). Our approach is applicable in too, where matrices become 4 by 4. Dirac used to develop his relativistic version of QED. Indeed, that was Dirac's own epiphany: to use to solve QED relativity problems which flummoxed Pauli. See Tomonaga's Lecture 3 in his The Story of Spin, 1997 (translation), UChicP. Please realize that all of Pauli's and Dirac's accomplishments were purely classical. Perhaps what is most interesting to us is a general classical bias that physicists and mathematical physicists then felt it necessary to relativize quantum theory, but not to quantize relativity theory... Is that bias because relativity came first? We think so. Beware unitemporal classical cohesion (essentially classical cause-effect induction). Einstein's celebrity pulled lots of wool and paradigmatically disciplined lots of blinders. Beware celebrity! Too, beware Einsteinian classical relativity!

3 - As we have shown elsewhere in Quantonics, when we say "real" that statement issi n¤t an analogue of saying "reality." Simply, real issi n¤t reality. Why? We can use Quantonic script to show you: realityquantons(reals'_complements,reals) which is very much like saying realityquantons(n¤nactuality,actuality), latter which most students of Quantonics are exceptionally familiar by now. See our real table entry in our review of EPR's paper EPR (large page).

4 - As we have impressed on students of Quantonics elsewhere and frequently, classicists tend to use classical concepts to make quantum reality go away, and make quantum reality classically 'real.' Taking to zero is taking quantum reality to classical reality. See our relevant July, 2001 Flash commentary on classical 'gauge invariance.'

Least energy action e issi 2qqq. Said Hamiltonian quaternion is an action representation. Zeroing zeroes and disables quantum action. It removes quantum flux from all classical notation and thing-king. It, simply, is n¤n-quantum-real. Notice how our better (yet still wanting, always wanting) Quantonics approach anihmatæs our representation of quantum action in its Hamiltonian quaternion emerqancy. Doug - 28Jun2003.

5 - Students of Quantonics may find it worthwhile to experience an epiphany that Quantonics' equalings are all "Bell inequalities." Indeed, all quantum n¤mbærs, all quantons, according to Quantonics' beliefs, are essentially quantum c¤mplementary "Bell inequalities." Bell's inequalities, as he propounded them, are classically presumed inanimate, excluded-middle, and state-ic. Naïve AKA "local" realists (classicists) insist upon a classical notional ideal 'equality' akin Aristotle's first syllogism, A=A. So finding inequalities, to a classicist, is a BIG surprise! Of course our equalings are anihmatæ, EIMA quantons. What makes "Bell's inequalities" inequalities? Quantum reality's intrinsic anihmatæ EIMA. Why is this quantum notion ironic and paradoxical to classicists? They view reality as inanimate, immutable, state-ic, excluded-middle, and everywhere-independent-dissociative!

We created another n¤vel graphic which students may use to visualize any quanton's EIMA:

That sphere issi a sphere of p¤tentially (an) ¤mnivalent (ensehmble of) quantum included-middle c¤mma-n¤-space c¤pula. It shows that when we depict quanton(c¤mplementqi,c¤mplementqj), its quantum EIMA c¤mma-n¤-space issi massively heter¤gene¤us. Imagine our quanton's c¤mma-n¤-space c¤pulum as only an iceberg tip of that c¤mma-n¤-space sphere. Then imagine all that as abs¤lutely anihmatæ quantum flux.

Here is an analogous ~circular GIF showing what we intend, in 2D, less abstractly (coarse 30° increments for readability; imagine that disk of c¤mplements being rotated ecliptically too, to make a quasi-sphere, and then anihmatæd):

Students should assume c¤mplementqi is varying due absolute quantum flux.
Further assume c¤mplementsqj are each unique and varying even
though we do not show their quantum-unique comtexts.
Click graphic's link to see a comtextual interpretation.

Here you can see heter¤gene¤us, ensehmble quantum c¤mplements without having to infer their presence only by a spherical 'hive' of c¤mma-n¤-space anihmatæ EIMAs. This is a sort of sledge-hammer way of saying, "There are n¤ classical dyads in quantum reality, and there are n¤ Aristotelian syllogisms in quantum reality. Too, if you fathom what we intend, Bell's inequalities are hologral and thus perpetually~ubiquitous in quantum reality. There are n¤ 'equalities' in quantum reality!" See identity. See equals.

6 - At beginning of section 79 of Dirac's The Principles of Quantum Mechanics he says, "The complete Hamiltonian for electrons and positrons interacting with the electromagnetic field is

H = HF + HP + HQ;"

where F is electromagnetic field 'alone,' P is positrons and electrons 'alone,' and Q is the interaction energy 'alone;'
Dirac's use of 'alone' here exhibits his fundamental, dialectical, analytic, Aristotelian lisr habits.

It's just that simple!
