Basis of a Matter Field Theory of Inertia — A Generalization of Quantum Mechanics

Abstract

This theory is based on three essential axioms: the principle of general relativity, the generalized Mach principle, and the principle of correspondence. The approach is basically that of a deterministic, relativistic field theory which fully incorporates the idea that any realistic physical system is in fact a closed system, without separable parts. It will be shown that the most primitive form of this theory, following as a necessary consequence of its axioms, is in terms of a set of coupled, nonlinear spinor field equations, that has an asymptotic limit that corresponds to the many-particle quantum mechanical theory. The limit corresponds to the assumption of sufficiently small energy—momentum transfer among the component elements of the assumed closed system. Let us now discuss in more detail the implications of the three basic axioms indicated above.
