Abstract
The classical description of nature is characterized by the notion of continuity. In the search for a digital reality underlying this representation of the physical world it would be advantageous to identify a property of elementary particles such as electrons that would support such a discrete quantum perspective. In my theory, I propose that the inherent angular momentum known as spin that is possessed by all fundamental particles is just such a characteristic. Spin is an intrinsic property of electrons much like mass and charge. Most importantly it is quantized, meaning that when measured, the spin along any direction can only take a number of discrete values. In the case of the electron, the spin can take on only two orientations: either parallel to the direction in which it is being measured (spin up) or anti-parallel to the direction it is being measured (spin down.) I will argue that this two valued degree of freedom constitutes a part of a cosmic code that serves to support an electron’s internal periodic mechanism – the electron clock - that is responsible for the actualization of the reality of the particle itself.
