3.- THE FIELD OF ANGULAR FACTORS AND HAMILTON’S PRINCIPLE.

3.1.- INTRODUCTION

Generally speaking, a field can be defined as a bounded area. Daily life offers simple examples of it: a wheat field, a soccer field, and more abstract such as the acting field , working field, field of study, etc.

Physics goes deeper and sophisticates the field concept. The effort of eminent physicists at the end of XIX and beginnings of XX centuries created the so called Field Theory.
 
Among those scientists Faraday and Einstein conceived the possibility of expressing the whole underlying reality of the Universe by means of a field. But while Faraday saw the world as a field of forces, Einstein saw it as a field of "curved" spaces. According to Einstein forces were a tangible but illusory by-product, of an ultimate reality which was, for him, the space curvature.

William Berkson, in his famous book "The theories of the field forces" wonders: whether a field of forces permits a behaviour of a field which it can not be formulated in the curved space language – and goes on by saying – I do not know the answer but it must be an interesting subject – and concludes by saying: it may be that, lastly, the conclusion is that field laws could be written indistinctly in terms of a field of forces or in terms of a curved space theory.

Naturally Berkson did not know that when he wrote it and he did not know, either, in later Spanish editions, the field of associated angular factors, as these were established in practice at the beginning of the 90’s, as an attempt to make concrete the philosophy of Chaos Theory applied to Financial Markets.

Before, attempts had been made to create the field of associated angular factors applied fundamentally on the space of related connections (Weyl 1917), other attempts were applied on a variety of those space of related connections in which angles but not distances were kept constant (London 1967) and there were also more modern and of great theoretically brilliant attempts by Wheeler, but without practical results.

In the "fields of associated angular factors", we are now introducing, the practical applications are immediate and, moreover, the two conceptions coexist. On one side Faraday, force fields, in a sense that each position of the field is identified with forces. On the other side the vision of Einstein in the sense that each position of the bounded space or field, is identified with contractions. Notwithstanding, neither forces are properly so in Faraday’s sense, nor contractions in Einstein’s sense.

Hamilton’s principle, also called the principle of minimal action, it is the most general formulation of the general law of movement which postulates that a whole system which occupies determined positions in a certain moment, moves within these positions in a way that the resulting integral of this movement (the action) takes the minimum possible value.

According to Max Plank, this principle is more general than the "principle of conservation of energy" although the latter is much better known. Plank goes on by saying that "conservation of energy" comes from Hamilton’s principle but not the other way around.

In Newtonian physics, action is contrary to reaction. "Action" is the force exerted by a body to another one, which in turn exerts to the former a force of equal intensity and of contrary sense which is called "reaction".

In Hamilton’s principle, as well as Plank’s formulation, the action is naturally, a force multiplied by time. If distances are invariant and unitary, as occurs in the fields of associated angular factors, Hamilton’s principle performs when:

  • 1.-   A system passes from a position, with determined added angular forces, to another where the addition is lower. Faraday’s vision.

  • 2.-   A system passes from a position to a future one which presents smaller space field contraction than at the initial position. Einstein’s vision.

Continuing in colloquial jargon, a system tends to occupy those contiguous positions in the field, where it has more available space or where space contraction is smaller.

On the contrary, if a system occupies other position with more contracted or with less available space, it can only be caused by dominant tendencies which oblige the system to be there. Yet, when these tendencies disappear, the system will go back to its habitual behaviour ruled by " the law of minimum effort".

It should be pointed out that the connotation "possible contiguous positions", used before, links with the interval of validity of Hamilton’s principle. The principle’s formulation is not valid for all the movement course but only for sufficiently small stretches.
   

3.2.- APPLICATION OF FIELDS OF ANGULAR FACTORS.

The importance of the "fields of associated angular factors" lays, principally, in its practical applications on phenomena ruled by complex oscillatory pattern, represented by means of a curve in a variable scale: equity and corporate charts which reflect the time series of the evolution of a key parameter: monthly cash flow, revenues, margins of products, costs, etc. which allow to extract consequences easily and swiftly, impossible to be detected, in many cases, by conventional methods.

It will be announced, within a short period of time the availability of its practical application to the corporate world, as strategic guide for decision making..

The fields of associated angular factors have demonstrated to be efficient in subjects very different from those mentioned before. This is the case of issues in high theoretical physics: spin analysis of the oscillation patterns of loops of super strings. For the first time, a glimpse of the identification of those oscillation patterns with their sensorial appearance as particles has been caught.

 
3.3.- CONSTRUCTION OF A FIELD OF ASSOCIATED ANGULAR FACTORS.

The construction of a "field of associated angular factors" sets off a more profound and general concept than the Cartesian coordinates, because it pretends the geometry of its spaces freely detaches from its own mathematics, without previous restrictive configurations, as it occurs if it sets off from Cartesian axis.

For this:

A / Instead of considering as unitary elements of a length, the aligned elementary lengths 1 and -1, it considers as unitary element the equivalent expression:

i 2G / Pi or, what is the same, i 2G / 90

Being:

  • i: base of the imaginary numbers. Square root of –1.
  • G: degrees of turn, from any start of rotation.
  • Pi: 3,1415....

Of the two expressions before, the first uses the radian notation in the exponent to express the turning degrees, and the second uses the sexagesimal expression.

In this work we’ll use the second, the sexagesimal, as it is didactic wise and to a majority of people, more intuitive than the radians.

Despite all this, the expression in radians is more mathematic, that is formally deducted from the mathematics without assuming that 360º are equivalent to 2 Pi radians and therefore it is much easier to deduct from it deep concepts such as that the fractal fact is included in the expression of the turning of vectors. Indeed:

i 2 G / Pi    =   i G (2 / Pi )   =   i 0,636 G

Where we notice that the fractal probability, 2 / Pi = 0,636 we see in point 1.1.5 shows up again in the general expression of the turns of unitary vectors, which indicates that the mathematic expectancy of the elongations in the graphs, or most likely length, which is "the scale pattern multiplied by 0,636" has its concomitant seed in the turns of the Unitary Forces which "construct" the shape (form) of these graphs. Despite this and for better understanding of this study, t6he degrees we’ll use in the equations will be, as aforesaid, the sexagesimal or what is the same:

i G / 90

The implicit geometry in the unitary element expression "i power turning degrees divided by ninety", is of the angular browse from any initial position, to the opposite position, or what is the same, the implicit geometry is "a bundle of oriented axis" which opens as a fan, with its origin in the point where the aligned elementary lengths 1 and –1 of the Cartesian conception change sign, that is, the zero point.

If the underlying space where the turn takes place is "plane" (Euclidian space), the contrary position will be at 180º of the first. If its is "closed" ( Riemann’s space) it will be at more than180º, and if it is "open" ( Lobachevsky’s space) it will be at less than 180º. All this without any axis of reference, as the only reference is the position where the turn began in any of those spaces, whatever the initial position may be.

In this survey only the Euclidian spaces are considered as underlying, but the generalization of conclusions to the other types of space is immediate, only by considering the following transformation:

i G/90 = i G/(T/2)

Being:

  • T = 180  for Euclidean plane spaces.
  • T > 180 for Riemann’s closed spaces.
  • T < 180 for Lobachevsky’s open spaces.

This would be the general expression of the UNIDIMENSIONAL ANGULAR SPACE, being T/2 , or 90º in Euclidean plane spaces, the angular openness of the bundle of oriented axis from which the negative stretches begins.
Moreover, the separation between both stretches in the real plane delimited by 1, starting position and –1 final position after the T/2º turn, is precisely the zero point of separation between both.

B / To find the expression of a BIDIMENSIONAL ANGULAR SPACE, instead of considering as unitary elements 1 and –1 for each dimension in the associated angular factors, we multiply the expression of the "angular" equivalent by itself, as we would do in geometry to obtain an area from a length:

i G / 90 x i G / 90 = i G / 45

This tells us that the geometry of the implicit plane in the expression : "i power turning degrees, divided by 45" is a square divided in two parts by a dividing diagonal. Remember that if in the unidimensional expression 90 appeared, it was because the 0 point of separation was at 90º of the imaginary turn of the real axis 1 and –1.

Here, in the bidimensional expression, the appearance of 45 indicates that at 45º of the enclosing real axis the zero line of separation of two planes, positive and negative, will be found. In this case, the figure being a square they will be two surfaces in a triangle shape.
