Hi Lisa, you stated:
...you have all the degrees of freedom you had before, and then you postulate, maybe, there's one or two more needed to more fully describe your system. Or maybe there's some underlying symmetry, or force, that you hadn't anticipated. So, you try...to build a more encompassing theory that agrees with all known measurements.
Very beautiful statement. Lisa, I wrote you about a year ago without receiving a response. I have since published a book, and I do present a model that introduces degrees of freedom that aren't yet appreciated in cosmology. I create a distinct model of the space of all possible states, identifying three axis. Each axis is bounded by extreme conditions. Today we recognize the point of the big bang in our past as a boundary. Toward the future, I point out there plainly exists the extreme of a common absolute zero, a point of zero mass/density, zero energy/temperature, zero curvature/gravity, and zero volume/space-time, or what we would imagine to be an empty universe. The range of possibilities between these two extremes I call the density gradient. Then at right angles to this first axis, adjacent the present, like the contrast of an image there exists extremes of a smooth universe and a lumpy universe. Each axis is in a sense pregnant with a more complex axis, and at right angles to this contrast gradient I show there exists a gradient ranging between extreme orderliness to extreme chaos. The second law in stating that overall entropy alway increases describes the gradient of energy/density of the first axis. The statistical claim that an overall system moves from an ordered to a disordered state only describes the orderliness to chaos of the third axis which only exists adjacent the present, and I argue this gradient only applies to short time durations. The arrow of time is dominantly governed by the first axis, since zero is the universal balance point in the space of all possible states. I essentially argue that the arrow of time points toward balance and thus away from imbalance. And I argue that time ends at zero, and include in my book a theory of backward causation. As you mention in your statement, there is an unrecognized symmetry influencing space-time, a symmetry present in our future.
To explain the initial state of the big bang as an imbalanced state I propose two new concepts which are unexpected but have a very respectable history. I extend the concepts explicate and implicate order proposed by David Bohm, showing that one kind of order exists in extreme in our past, while another type of order exists in our future. Much of the book includes practical applications. This all connects to your work but I won't continue here.
