Jeandel-Rao Aperiodic Tiling as a Geometric Basis of the Fine-Structure Constant (opens in new tab)

correct. sorry. fixed.

I think it's a little preposterous to conjecture that the inverse of the fine structure constant is "governed" by the expression N^2+C^2 + ((1+sqrt(5))/2)^(N-C) with N=11 and C=4. You can probably find hundreds more approximations by other arbitrary formula of similar complexity, all lacking in explanatory power of why the formula should look like that.

None so far, because I have no google account to login with. Which seems to be required?

Maybe change that setting somewhere, to public, or so?

> thoughts?

I have a few:

What's the "Hypothetical Institute of Mathematical Physics"?

What does 'a reflection of the total phase space or ”complexity weight” of the minimal aperiodic vacuum.' mean?

phi^-7 !~= 0.035998811... it's ~= 0.0344418537...

Section 3.2 is just gobbledegook.

You probably need to get a better bot but it was a fun read. Thanks.
