| dc.description | A theory in which points, lines, areas and volumes are on on the same footing is investigated. All those geometric objects form a 16-dimensional manifold, called C-space, which generalizes spacetime. In such higher dimensional space fundamental interactions can be unified \` a la Kaluza-Klein. The ordinary, 4-dimensional, gravity and gauge fields are incorporated in the metric and spin connection, whilst the conserved gauge charges are related to the isometries of curved C-space. It is shown that a conserved generator of an isometry in C-space contains a part with derivatives, which generalizes orbital angular momentum, and a part with the generators of Clifford algebra, which generalizes spin. | |
