Fine Structure Constant Derived

--> The view of the lattice field, as being still and absolutely cold with close packing, is unreal. But with a temperature that yields Higgs cells in the shape of dodecahedra; displaced groups of Higgs, along with their dislocations are restricted in their freedom of motion. Restricted by the axes of the Higgs lattice. Direction of motion in the lattice is not restricted but dislocations one relative to another are restricted.

As the imaginary Higgs lattice increases in temperature from absolute zero - interaction of each Higgs with the lattice results in an effective shape of each cell of space that permits closer packing than so called close pack. This shape and packing maximum yields a minimum energy density that is nearly constant throughout the universe. The backgroung temperature of the universe.

Little TOE permits the derivation of all things from a minimum of parameters.

You may derive the fine structure constant from the Little TOE (theory of everything) view of quantum structure. This structure is three dimensional but has six axis of symmetry. Please note that time does not require an independent dimension. The fine structure constant can be thought of as a probability of interaction. This basic constant is 1/137. And varies from this value due to the local temperature or energy density of the quantum universe. From the view of the Little TOE, this “constant” can be seen in the probability of energy exchange of a photon and an electron.

Where an electron is three displaced elements of the universal lattice moving through the lattice structure. And where the photon is a quantized unit of energy moving through the lattice.
This is a bit like rolling dice. However the unit cell of the Little TOE lattice is not six sided. The LITTLE TOE lattice cell is a cool but not energy free dodecahedral cell of twelve sides and six axises. What is important in this exchange is not the rolling of the die but the freedom of motion of the lattice elements associated with the electron and the photon.
We find only 4 of 548 possible encounters permit the exchange. The 548 derives as 5X5X5X5 less 1, less (4X4X4 and 3X3 and 2 and 1). That is 625-77=548.
Why is the exchange not precisely 1/137? Two reasons. One, the electron is not a single entity but is three displaced lattice elements, three charged bits displaced from the structure of the fabric of space.   A second adjustment is required due to the temperature and resulting mass (energy) of the lattice itself.

Current advances: The fine-structure constant

The fine-structure constant
When viewing the above reference keep in mind the Little TOE view: That the electron is composed of three liberated Higgs lattice elements.

So you would like to determine the value of the fine structure constant from first principles? Then so you may. But first we need to understand the structure of the Higgs lattice.

Were the Higgs elements like uniform marbles that were all compressed into a very large universe, we might expect local regions to find a maximum density arrangement. Something like a regional close pack formation.

But the Higgs are not marbles. They are not fully restrained. And they are not round. Because the Higgs are not confined to a round zone they can pack more closely than marbles. They are more like dodecahedra. Further more, when a Higgs, or two, or more are dislodged from the lattice they can move through the lattice with very little resistance.

And the Higgs can reshape to warp the lattice around every dislocation. We call this effect gravity.

But, back to the lattice. This view of the lattice field, still and absolutely cold with close packing, is unreal. But with a temperature that yields Higgs cells in the shape of dodecahedra; displaced groups of Higgs, along with their dislocations are restricted in their freedom of motion. Guided by the six axes of the Higgs lattice.

Are you ready to calculate the probability that is the fine structure constant?

The Higgs Lattice and the Big Bang

Big bang, what big bang? The Little TOE does not preclude nor forbid a big bang but it finds no need for one nor do we see evidence for The Big Bang.

Were the temperature of the Higgs Lattice null, that is at absolute zero, the speed of light would be infinitely faster. We could ask, where did all these Lattice elements come from and how were they all compressed into such a small universe? Perhaps before we ask such questions we may wish to grasp the nature of the Higgs particles and understand how energy acts with the lattice of Higgs elements to produce mass. And time, time also is a function of the Lattice and energy.

The Little TOE ask, 'If time is not a dimension how many dimensions need exist to understand the nature of the universe? Three. Is there any need for more?

The Higgs lattice is not your Grandfather's aether. And Little TOE time is not your Father's time.

But, from the temperature and structure of the Higgs lattice, with a bit of Little TOE time you can calculate the fine structure “constant”, and much more.

Higgs Lattice

From the perspective of the Little TOE (theory of everything), all matter in the universe derives from a sea of Higgs particles. This sea of charge is more a lattice than a liquid. Stronger than steel but thinner than vacuum. We see all particles as composed from the Higgs charges and the shadow of those charges. All forces follow from the charge of the Higgs field and the structure of the Higgs lattice.

The Little TOE brings together gravity and the quantum nature of the universe. And we understand the origin of the constants and quantum numbers in terms of the charge of the Higgs and the structure of the Higgs lattice.

The charge on the Higgs particles provides the energy that expands the universe that we see.
