Thinking Non Locally: The Atemporal Roots of Particle Physics

Developing an approach defined in previous papers a correspondence between elementary particles and elements of a particular set of directed graphs said “glyphs” is made explicit. These can, in turn, be put in correspondence with a particular set of biquaternions. Charge conjugation and weak isospin...
