Q: I heard there is actually 17-ish particles 

with 5 of them bosons in SP? 

A: Nup, in PT Bosons are the bodies of Projection Phibres not particles or phenom. Looking from the outside in, there are 5 Phibres for each phenom. 1 scalar (a Phield Phibre) & 4 non-scalar (Philter Phibres), they are the vectors & axes of the Phenomenon. The intersection of the Phibres (Bosons in SP) are what create the Phenom or illusion of matter through accumulated compression of light and energy. 

This is very easy to visualise if you look at the phenomenon Square Bipyramid model you will see from each Phenom 1 scalar Phield Phibre that extends toward the center Phen position, & 4 non-scalar Philter Phibres that radiate in 4 directions - reaching towards a square base pyramid shape 

But in PT only the 3 internal axes (Phenomenal generations / Phield Phibres) are real "bosons" the Phield Phibres which align with RP's W⁻, W⁺ & Z⁰ bosons. The outside Philter Phibres are infact more closely aligned with sets of 3 in a Phace being akin to Gluons in SP. 

All this confusion comes about because SP sees a particle zoo of each thing being multiple different things for 2 reasons, firstly they are unaware of the PTM structure & secondly they haven't yet seen the PT Symmetric Ternary that forms it

Q: Why Embrace "Lazy Idiots"?

A: People love to get on their high horse & mow you down as they feel they need to be right instead of kind. That is not me. I know I am an idiot, I know just how little I know & how lazy I am. But I am curious. So for those people who like to get angry at stuff, just remember there is a reason why this is called a theory. I have no evidence or proof of anything other than my daydreams & meditations. & I am so lazy that it is highly unlikely I will ever perform any real world experiments to prove my case.

I am an artist that is exploring the process of creativity & got interested in the process of how the universe is created. But the physics world needs idiots like me as I won't be using the exact same tools you are all using trying to come up with different answers.

If you want something done the hard way then find a hard worker, like a physicist. If you want something done a different, faster or easier way, pick a lazy idiot. They will always find a quicker & more simple method to achieve a task with the most convenient tool they can improvise, you just have to accept they may break some stuff in the process. I am definitely one of those lazy idiots & I see it as my superpower not my flaw.

If physics doesn't learn to embrace us idiots, then all they will ever get is smart, elaborate & complicated answers, not simple ones. The ones so simple that smart people dismiss them at first because of tiny or basic errors. Then later they slap their foreheads in disbelief that they couldn't see what was really being shown because they focused on spelling mistakes or muddled up terminology. It is like dismissing the potential of Picasso because the painting's canvas is not quite square.

The Kanji Syndrome

As I am also a designer, one thing I learnt from clients is almost no one ever wanted to solve a problem by removing stuff. They wanted me to use all the tools at my disposal to add things to make it better. There were even cases where people didn't want to pay me because I wasn't adding stuff & that I wasn't using complicated tools to show off my mastery of design skills, when all that was needed was to do the opposite, maybe just remove a few things. This is often how I feel about physics. I call it the Kanji Syndrome.

Japanese people will always justify why kanji (漢字) that forms part of their complicated writing system is needed because they wasted soooooo much of their life & the country has wasted so much of their resources on learning kanji because they feel it adds clarity, even though no Japanese people I know can remember them all. They will say it is needed for situations like the word "kami" which can mean hair, god, paper etc. But even when I remind them that they just explained that to me without kanji coming out of their mouth & that whenever they type they do it in hiragana first & then search for the matching kanji, they still defend it.

They even have katakana, a writing system just for foreign words that is identical in every other function & pronunciation to hiragana, Japan's native writing system, & could simply be replaced with maybe a dot top left of each hiragana to indicate foreign words, instead of a whole new syllabary that people need to learn.

Then we can add in the fact it is not easy to distinguish characters unless large, like a subway sign on the end of a platform or even just small print in books & websites. I don't know what size this will display on your screen but here is the word kanji in 9pt font: 漢字 vs かんじ, you can see the native hiragana even at small sizes is still more legible than the kanji characters.

I honestly feel Japan would be ruling the world if they didn't waste half their life learning a non-Japanese writing system, as kanji is borrowed from China, it's not native like hiragana. Japan is now also faced with a situation whereby stubbornly hanging onto this ridiculous system, they are now having to change their culture into English to fit in with the rest of the world. But had they used just hiragana there would be little reason for the rest of the world not to learn how to fit in with Japan. It's actually far more elegant than English as it's mostly always pronounced exactly as written with only a few exceptions, unlike the god awful mess of English.

So in this effort to create clarity, Japanese people have created nationwide mass confusion that is also disrespectful of people's time & lifespans.

Why am I saying all this? Because I'm a lazy idiot that doesn't want to learn kanji when I know with extreme clarity that all that needs to be done to save trillions of wasted man hours & confusion is to simply change the few words that double up in pronunciation, maybe add an extra hiragana to the words. Or a dot to replace katakana. People are already converting the kanji in their head into hiragana sounds when reading a newspaper so just get rid of that step.

All of this is to say, embracing lazy idiots might even save an entire culture & country. Especially one I love so so so much. But definitely not for its time wasting, productivity busting & keyboard destroying kanji.

That very long, not-so-simple rant about simplicity is my way of illustrating that most of us keep using the tools we've already invested so much time & money in, persisting in making bigger hammers even when those tools aren't suited to the new problem & that perhaps all we needed was a few strings & some knots to tie a few planks together that keep stretching.

Or, even more simply:

Sometimes you need a fresh set of eyes & to stop flogging a dead horse.

Q: What is a "squatoctahedron" & why is it important?

A bit of a rant... Don't make my mistake!

A: A simple confusion set my theory back many years because of inconsistency in naming conventions. You see the clever people & resources that taught my basic geometry seem perfectly fine with a square pyramid being called a square pyramid whether it has isosceles triangles or equilateral triangles. Which is fine with me because even if it is squashed a bit, it looks like a pyramid still. 

But the same community says when you have an octaherdon even a tiny bit squished out from is equalateral shapes they are like nup nup it's a square bipyramid not an octahedron anymore (which I never knew until recently).

Being strict with one & not the other was absurd. Like if you have an orange & put your palm on it and squish it a little all of a sudden they would say, it's not an orange anymore, but if you squish an apple, it's still an apple?!?! 

So even though I could see the Phenomenon model in my head & it being stacked perfectly, when I researched it I was constantly told that Octahedrons don't stack perfectly without the addition of tetrahedrons (triangle pyramids). Absurd again, I can build you a model & show you I thought..... 

Fast forward 20 years & AI tells me something no human teacher ever did & that is.. when it's an isosceles triangle face bipyramid where the pyramids height is equal to half its square edge width, it can stack. 

So what looked exactly like an octahedron to me had a different name & yes I was right they do stack perfectly. To picture this get 6 square based pyramids & as mention above, if the peak height is half the width of its square base then they can all be put peaks together to form a cube & that cube can be stacked perfectly. (you can see this on the Phenomena page). If you do the same with Square Bipyramids it makes a tetrakis hexahedron (like one of the role play dice)

And if you are getting confused by what i have said above maybe you were reading square pyramid & square bipyramid the same or just seeing octahedrons like me

So that "Octahedron" I was seeing made of 2 of those square pyramids is the un-elegant name of "Square based bipyramid". Which makes no sense that the Octahedron should get a simple elegant name when it hardly features in nature at all & infact the amount of Square Bipyramids in nature is impossible to count there are so many, yet seemingly neglected in common language. Of the 2, the slightly squashed almost identical looking square bipyramid is obviously the victorious king. So a less fuctional structure that doesn't stack or appear much in nature is in all the text books etc just because it has equal sides, the one feature that actually makes it less functional. 

As I said before I am an idiot, but astonished at how many smarter people were never able to add any clarity..... just said it can't be done.

 And in the end it still doesnt add a great deal of clarity as both an octahedron & a Square Based Bipyramid are both Square Based Bipyramids

So from now on, lets call it what it is.. a Phenomenon (ΦΝ8)

PS i'll also forgive you is you want to refer to it as a squatoctahedron
