Lead Investigator at the Golden Physics Project, an independent research institute based in Ontario, Canada. My research proceeds from one simple algebraic fact of nature: the Haar measure on the multiplicative real numbers is invariant under inversion. Three Cayley–Dickson doublings carry that one-dimensional scale line to the celestial sphere, to Minkowski spacetime, and to the Grassmannian Gr(2,4), and at each rung the same inversion symmetry reappears, first as the functional equation symmetry of the zeta function s = 1 – s in the complex plane, then as the shadow transform ∆ ←→ 2 – ∆ of celestial holographic conformal field theory upon the projection of the plane from a point at infinity into the Riemann sphere on the celestial sphere bounding spacetime at null infinity, and finally as the CPT symmetry of quantum field theory in four dimensions. From this tower I derive a resolution for Penrose's googly problem in twistor theory, identify the properties of the 2D conformal field theory dual to Einstein gravity in 4D flat spacetime, understand the confinement of the nontrivial zeta zeros of Riemann's zeta function to the critical line more deeply, and derive the gauge structure of the Standard Model. The Fixed-Point Paradox Theorem, Hard-Determinist Dilemma and Axiomatic Opacity Constraint likewise follow mechanically from from the logic of temporally-embedded agency regardless of ontology. I am the author of "On the Nature of Nature" and "The Free Will Solution" (GP²).
