Microscopic Space Dimensions and the Discreteness of Time
Abstract
Description
We present a simple dynamical systems model for the effect of invisible space dimensions on the visible ones. There are three premises. A: Orbits consist of flows of probabilities [P].which is the case in the setting of quantum mechanics. B: The orbits of probabilities are induced by (continuous time) differential or partial differential equations. C: Observable orbit are flow of marginal probabilities where the invisible space variables are averaged out. A theorem is presented which proves that under certain general conditions the transfer of marginal probabilities cannot be achieved by continuous time dynamical systems acting on the space of observable variables but that it can be achieved by discrete time dynamical systems.
