Essay Abstract
An understanding of time from the viewpoint of leptons and quarks moving through a discrete 4-dimensional lattice reveals how we are closely connected to fundamental mathematical concepts. If this brief discussion on the discrete nature of time and space holds true, then the prediction of a new quark called the b' quark will appear at the Large hadron Collider very soon.

I just took a look at your paper, which appears to be getting scant attention. It is taking me time to get around to them all. I have only given it a brief read through, but I too am interested in Weyl-Coxeter polytope systems. My paper #370 illustrates one aspect of my approach. I will try to read you paper in greater detail in the next few days.
