Quaternionic Wave Numbers and the Dirac Equation: Resolving the Nielsen--Ninomiya Barrier and Infinities

We exemplify the applicability of the rational wave numbers by formulating the relativistic Dirac equation on the discrete sequence space $\mathbb{H}^\mathbb{Z}$ over the quaternions $\mathbb{H}$ and demonstrating how this resolves fundamental issues relating to Dirac's equation. Generating $\mathbb{H}^\mathbb{Z}$ from the primitive basis $\mathcal{P}_0 = \{E_Z, E_{\bar{1}}\}$ as both a static closure and a dynamic enumeration, we show that coupling local quantum kinematics with global cosmological expansion leads to the following results: (1) Dirac 4-spinors and the Clifford algebra $\mathrm{C}\ell_{1,3}(\mathbb{R})$ emerge from the second Cayley--Dickson doubling (biquaternions $\mathbb{H} \otimes \mathbb{C}$); (2) under dynamic generation on an integer clock lattice with causal horizon $\Lambda_m$, relativistic difference operators require temporal depth, establishing clock beat $m = 2$ as the universal Matter Genesis Threshold; (3) the Nielsen--Ninomiya fermion doubling barrier is circumvented on modular sequences $\mathbb{Z}/Q\mathbb{Z}$ because candidate zone-edge doubler modes ($p = Q/2$) are actively pruned at the generational boundary by the coprime sieve projector $\mathcal{S}_Q$ ($\gcd(Q/2, Q) > 1$), preserving exact chiral symmetry without Wilson terms; (4) the discrete fermionic Green's function $S_Q(n, m)$ possesses no coincident-point singularity ($n = m$), converting ultraviolet loop integrals into finite Dedekind and Kloosterman character sums, realizing Dirac's demand for an infinity-free theory; and (5) Zitterbewegung is resolved as an observable stroboscopic beat against vacuum reference $E_Z$, identifying rest mass $m_0$ as a vacuum coupling beat frequency for stationary periodic cycles on the saturated quotient graph.

Abstract

We exemplify the applicability of the rational wave numbers by formulating the relativistic Dirac equation on the discrete sequence space $\mathbb{H}^\mathbb{Z}$ over the quaternions $\mathbb{H}$ and demonstrating how this resolves fundamental issues relating to Dirac's equation. Generating $\mathbb{H}^\mathbb{Z}$ from the primitive basis $\mathcal{P}_0 = \{E_Z, E_{\bar{1}}\}$ as both a static closure and a dynamic enumeration, we show that coupling local quantum kinematics with global cosmological expansion leads to the following results: (1) Dirac 4-spinors and the Clifford algebra $\mathrm{C}\ell_{1,3}(\mathbb{R})$ emerge from the second Cayley--Dickson doubling (biquaternions $\mathbb{H} \otimes \mathbb{C}$); (2) under dynamic generation on an integer clock lattice with causal horizon $\Lambda_m$, relativistic difference operators require temporal depth, establishing clock beat $m = 2$ as the universal Matter Genesis Threshold; (3) the Nielsen--Ninomiya fermion doubling barrier is circumvented on modular sequences $\mathbb{Z}/Q\mathbb{Z}$ because candidate zone-edge doubler modes ($p = Q/2$) are actively pruned at the generational boundary by the coprime sieve projector $\mathcal{S}_Q$ ($\gcd(Q/2, Q) > 1$), preserving exact chiral symmetry without Wilson terms; (4) the discrete fermionic Green's function $S_Q(n, m)$ possesses no coincident-point singularity ($n = m$), converting ultraviolet loop integrals into finite Dedekind and Kloosterman character sums, realizing Dirac's demand for an infinity-free theory; and (5) Zitterbewegung is resolved as an observable stroboscopic beat against vacuum reference $E_Z$, identifying rest mass $m_0$ as a vacuum coupling beat frequency for stationary periodic cycles on the saturated quotient graph.
