Multi-fold Discrete Fractal Spacetime, and the Viability of Local vs. Non-Local Hidden Variables

Authors: Stephane H. Maes

The multi-fold original paper, in its spacetime reconstruction phase, attributes spacetime to the locations concretized by the random walks, and creation, of (massless) particles, resulting into a discrete, (multi-)fractal spacetime that is non-commutative and yet Lorentz symmetric. The fractal or multi-fractal was inferred from the random walks, but it was actually the only part not explicitly derived. Multi-fold universe are expected to probably have a Cantor-like ��-infinity fractal spacetime.In this paper, we resume these discussions, but now, we provide microscopic interpretations for spatial and temporal, and so spacetime, (multi-) fractal properties of the multi-fold universe, and their observability, only within a range of cosmological scales, as observed in our real universe. We also relate discreteness of spacetime to the complex scalar field of the Higgs boson, and encounter further corroboration of the fundamental role of the massless Higgs boson.Fractal state space plays a role in interpreting experiments about the Bell theorem, and related hidden variables. The paper discusses two models, which do not imply that the result of Bell experiments would forbid local hidden variables. The Bell Theorem, and handling of EPR entanglements, was the motivation for proposing the multi-fold mechanisms, which implement non-locality with local Physics. Interestingly, with discrete spacetime, the multi-fold W-type hypothesis, massless Higgs boson random walks, and fractal properties, multi-fold universes can support all these models: local physics and hidden variables seem to be reconcilable with the Bell experiments, as was the original intent for the multi-fold theory. And there is no need to give in to super determinism, retro-causality, or to lose free will.
