TOPIC: The Universe in Numbers by Alexander N Balatsky [refresh]
Essay Abstract
The paper argues that the physical reality can be described algebraically in terms of pure numbers united by common laws of relationships. This approach allows us: (i) to define analytical form of the fine structure constant and explain its cosmological meaning; (ii) to reveal analytical relation describing the fundamental interactions and explain origin of time; (iii) to show how the conclusions presented match empirical data; and in conclusion, the paper briefly discusses the relevance of the approach as regards evolution in general.

"Can the universe be described in terms of pure numbers?"
Before we can even seriously address this question we need to be answer the questions "what is a number" and what do we mean by "describing".
You might want to check out the entry "The Mathematics of Science" by Robert MacDuff.

Dear Alexander:
I argue with you The physical realtiy can be described algebraclly with a pure math.
I think "the universe is an hyper-equation "a mathematical structure inside of another and depends on another external"
In my opinion,mathematics that reflects reality, remains a priority for the current science.The Bi-iterative calculation could be the right one, because it has all the characteristics of a pure mathematics.
“NUMBERS”
first are integers
second are geometric shapes
third are physical entities, with infinite degrees of freedom
fourth maintain always the aspect ratio
fifth are elastic ... ..
Sixth are compact, and unseverable by two egual part.
We take an example:
1 + 5 + 7 + 12 =
= 1 + 5 + 7 + (6 + 8 + 10)
= 1 + 5 + 7 + (3 + 4 + 5) + 8 +10)
= 1 + 5 + 7 + (3 +4 +5) + (1 + 6 - 9) + 10
= 1 + 5 + 7 + (3 +4 +5) + (1 + 6 - 9) + 10
= 1 + 5 + 7 + (3 +4 +5) + (1 + (3 + 4 + 5) - 9) + 10
= 13
= 2197
This is a mathematical structure, as you see, is elastic. means a "string" ,it can be lengthened or shortened.
Inside this structure could coexist other independent structures (3 + 4 + 5) and (3 + 4 + 5).
Sincerly yours
