Deducing the three gauge interactions from the three Reidemeister
moves
Authors: Christoph Schiller
(Submitted on 24 May 2009 (v1), last revised 14 Nov 2009 (this
version, v2))

Abstract: We give one of the first known arguments for the origin
of the three observed gauge groups. The argument is based on modelling
nature at Planck scales as a collection of featureless strands that
fluctuate in three dimensions. This approach models vacuum as
untangled strands, particles as tangles of strands, and Planck units
as crossing switches.
Modelling vacuum as untangled strands implies the field equations
of general relativity, when applying an argument from 1995 to the
thermodynamics of strands. Modelling fermions as tangles of two or
more strands allows to define wave functions as time-averages of
strand crossings; using an argument from 1980, this allows to deduce
the Dirac equation.
When modelling fermions as tangled strands, gauge interactions
appear naturally as deformation of tangle cores. The three possible
types of observable core deformations are given by the three
Reidemeister moves. They naturally lead to a U(1), a broken and parity-
violating SU(2), and a SU(3) gauge group. The corresponding
Lagrangians also appear naturally.
The model is unique, is unmodifiable, is consistent with all known
data, and makes numerous testable predictions, including the absence
of other interactions, of grand unification and of higher dimensions.
A method for calculating coupling constants seems to appear naturally.

Christoph is answering questions on his model at

and at

Both threads are about his model.
