1. Introduction
Experiments concerning the cosmological constant problem (CCP), quantum entanglement (QE) and the Dirac monopole (DM) seem to prevent a unified theory of all forces [1]-[3]. A fractal zeta universe as a cosmic-ray-charge-cloud-superfluid (FZU) resolves CCP, QE and DM by treating spacetime as a bifurcating process [4]. The origin of charge and mass in FZU is explained by Feigenbaum renormalization extending Hieb’s hypothesis [5] [6]. Hieb’ conjecture
already has accuracy 9.12 × 10−4 with Feigenbaum constant δF and fine structure constant αf which is refinable on entropy-surface-area
for
[7] [8]. Similarly, FZU introduces dimensionless coupling constants Gw on w-spherical shells of a general Riemann surface enveloped by a general sphere where gi enter as number theoretic generators which oversee 103 orders of magnitude. Like a black hole a given fractal point in space consists of w-coordinate spheres encapsulating a universe of buds, shoots, leaves of a tree and of bizarre plants as k-components which are period-doublings. The enveloping sphere represents matter as Einsteinian elastic spacetime. Whereas the Feigenbaum constant δF is transformation degree dependent the fine structure constant αf is energy- and time-dependent (e.g. αf at 91GeV ≃ 127.5) [9]. This would question any algebraic approach to δF and αf [9]. FZU coupling constants Gw (ht) create a cubic van-der-Waals-like potential minimum in dependence on topological entropy ht: At high density of chaotic k-components quadratic and quartic mass terms are higher than the linear rest mass term which creates matter from zeros of the zeta function. A pseudo-congruence
between k-components on the maximal general Riemann surface is called QE and defines a charge [10]. This surprising result up to k = 10 reproduces the static limit of αf which is also the infinite-energy limit of αf and solves CCP [10]. A pseudo-congruence
of optimal k-components in ℂ5 of a quadratic map around nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function ζ (z) is called charge. Complex-generator-cycles of optimal k-components
in ℂw for w = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are surrounded by vanishing Gaussian periods. For a highly-composite congruent number field
with generator g as a root of unity a vanishing series of periods can occur for components k = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 below k ≤ 10. If generator 2k is a square, i.e. for k = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 five interactions w = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are in accordance with the Weber-Schottky conditions [11]. Matter as spacetime cavity cycles or buds of cyclic generators is inseparably connected with k pseudo-congruence. This form of QE yields air ionisation caused by cosmic rays (≡bifurcated spacetime) not only in the exosphere but also near plants and conductivity plateaus whenever a zeta function zero is iterated. FZU sees experimental support in measurements in vegetation areas [12]. Moreover, within FZU problems with cosmological constant, Dirac monopole and quantum entanglement can be overcome. The first one consists in a 50 - 200 orders of magnitude too large vacuum energy density Λc (which is the factor
), the second in charges as a fusilli-like cloud of magnets (a ball of k-components) and the third in a spooky action at a distance confirmed by quantum experiment (k-correlation). The paper aims to discuss these problems by k-itineraries for a bifurcated spacetime curvature. Extending the concept of vibrations of fractal strings a spacetime point is defined by congruent and incongruent k-components of quadratic maps of complex curvature [13]. Charge quanta are set as component-correlated nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function and the Dirichlet L-function [10] [14]. A unified vacuum is a non-dissipative, non-radiative highly k-component correlated liquid [10] [14]. Elliptic curves as attractors are already known as an exactly solvable chaos [15] [16]. Iterates of doubly-periodic lattices as chaotic period-doublings due to lattices of algebraic units have been rarely investigated. In this paper iterated cyclic periods νSh of intervals according to the theorem of Sharkovskii belong to pseudo-random and pseudo-congruent lattices of fundamental units. Period-doubling is discussed as a hyperelliptic-elliptic addition step supported also by the Friedmann solution for time [17]

of a spherically symmetric universe differs from Ru in Equation (1) by an arbitrary quadratic map which is extended to complex plane by γ (ϕ3). A map

is a complex unified field if the normal of the complex plane of zk is oriented in space. Similarly, Rμυ is a Kepler- or Coulomb field singularity ≃1/r2 subjected to a quadratic map. A Mandelbrot map is part of a Hermite map
for subsequent cubic roots ei of ϕ3 from subsequent quartic roots xq of ϕ4. Under γ (ϕ3) the polynomial ϕ3 in Equation (1) gets a modular invariant where its argument can be written as an algebraic unit. Complex cubic roots
as algebraic units E and quartic roots x with one quartic root shifted to ±∞, ±i∞ transmit to a 3⋅4 degrees of freedom i, q ≃ s. An iterated solution for the 4⋅4 matrix Rμυ is searched in extended μ, s space with field densities

and
. Invariants in ϕ3 can be written in terms of complex conjugated units of the bicubic field. Under period-doubling in γ (ϕ3)
and
get differences of ℘(ω)-functions as a factor of the Legendre module λ which depends on unit Eq = el on four possible Feigenbaum stability axes q. Rotated cardioid planes
depend on the quartic polynomial for R = Rμν, z = |z| with unit determinant [19]. Iterating
in Equation (13) 1/2w (w − 1) parameters and 3w − 3 equations yield an underdetermined system of maximal w = 1, …, 5 independent complex planes [20]. The importance of the linear map γ consists in identifying
,
where

A congruence

is viewed as a potential like z ≃ ℘(u). The coordinate index μ = 1, 2, 3, 4 denotes a self-consistent Feigenbaum stability axis from iterates around inflection tangents. The current
is quadratic in δxq where
denotes a quadruple of simplest cycles of iterated intervals and ψs has a bicubic norm. A point as irreducible quadruple q ≃ 1, 2, 1'2' permeates FZU as matter-anti-matter, tidal forces and dark non-radiative exchange scattering.
2. Quadratic Map as Iterated Curvature
A quadratic map
is written in extensions of a pure bicubic field 𝕂 [∂] and 𝕂 [∂1/2]. Variable z is a complex algebraic unit living in doubly-periodic lattices ω. General relativity can be written as a vanishing discriminant ΔF [ϕ3] in Equation (1)
(3)
with velocity of light cl, cosmological constant Λc, and arbitrary constant A yielding real coordinates and vacuum energy
. A Minkowski-bound of ΔF for cyclic extensions
and rational ΔF = 0 induce a highly nonlinear L-function (4). This singular case displays elastic continua δkℒ = 0 as minima of action ℒ for a discrete sequence of steps k→∞. Chaotic itineraries of a quadratic map of curvature R and universe radius Ru yield finite non-equilibrium values δkℒ, δkδkℒ, δkRμν, δkδkRμν , δkTμν, δkδkTμν of curvature Rμυ and stress-energy Tμν. For a Hermite-Tschirnhaus substitution γ (ϕ3) the discriminant scales as
. Therefore, the complex invariant f (ω) in γ (ϕ3(f (ω))) is like Rμυ and Tμν of fundamental significance as iterates over tensile forces. The resulting dense lattice of algebraic units {l} generates spacetime superimposed by fluctuating elliptic lattices {𝕃} with Poncelet triangles of inscribed and circumscribed cones as tidal-like forces. Discrete iterates of γ (ϕ3) are points and segments as wave packets. Laps lω = lγω are orbits of an assembled shift
of k-components where modular units
are inert for lap number
. The map γ (
,
) forces complex multiplication (CM) of points and segments of curves by period-doubling k-component orbits which relate to Lorentz-transformations γL. Treating each k-component as an excited particle quantum statistics overestimates vacuum density Λc by a factor
[10] [14]. Mathematically the Euclidean norm
in Equation (11) is formally equivalent to quantum statistics. However,
in CCP overestimates the binary tree of k-components in QE by factor
because the real algebraic unit in the cyclotomic L-function decreases.
3. Zeta Function Zeros and Poles in Mass Operator
A Riemann zeta function ζ (z) allows to start from holomorphic function ξ (z) and holomorphic Dirichlet L-function [13].
(4)
which can be scanned by γ (ϕ3) in the Dirichlet L-function with character χ of a cubic field extension 𝕂 [∂]. The z→1 limit
is proportional to a regulator
with fundamental unit E, for base b, class number HΔ of a cubic normal field with discriminant Δ. The Riemann zeta function ζ (z) is related to the quantum statistical scattering amplitude
by the entire function
(5)
for a quadratic map between s and z. Both ξ (z) and γξ (γz) satisfy a hyperbolic Laplace equation. A fractional substitution γ (ϕ3) is capable to scan masses mn in nontrivial zeros
of ξ (z) and ζ (z). A Mandelstam plane
with
and
are differences of cubic roots where a scaling
(ultraviolet cutoff) is consistent with a quadratic map
for a process
and
. Iterates λ = λm/m + 1/2 are treated as Dirac-like currents where
and
couple to the Weber invariant f (ω). A certain quadratic map γn of cubic roots
relates ξ-zeros znt (≡ 𝔸(s)-poles, charged excitations) to the single pole of ζ (z) at z = 1 (collective excitations, Kepler singularity). Equation (2) for γn couples the function Gss' to a collective potential Aμ. Then the L-function enables a Dedekind zeta function
(6)
to relate masses mn ≃ znt to regulator index RΔ and class number HΔ.
4. Regulator Limits for Cyclotomic Extensions
FZU regards every point self-similarly enveloped by w-shells of a most general Riemann surface regardless of whether it is a charge, a universe or a plant. Coupling constants are derived from the L-function in particular from the regulator of a cyclic number field. A cyclic number field e.g. with periods νSh where series of motions vanish can be multiplied by a coupling constant Gw. This Lagrange normal base with Gaussian periods is called interaction w = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 [11]. Within a dimensionless FZU all physical fields are quadruples of simplest cycles ψs of algebraic units E which are information currents where the L-function is a statistical sum. Their assignment to forces, (strong weak, em, grav, dark) results from the pre-factor Gw. which differs by up to 102 orders of magnitude. This independence on laboratory dimension allows a self-similar view to five interactions. All forces are treated uniquely by Feynman diagrams with Euclidean norm
where the bi spinor ψs is viewed as spacetime curvature Rμν ≃ Fμν ≃ E, B of a simplest cycle quadruple of a bicubic field. A decreasing circulant regulator index
behaves like a minimum of an action functional. The regulator index RΔ for a bicubic field of class number Hk = 1 and RΔ = logE ≃1 of fundamental unit E ≃ 1 whereas the lower limit of the regulator RΔ for a dense lattice of units and imaginary fields with
[21] [22].

can tend to infinity. In case of cyclotomic units
(8)
with complex units
and generator
one has [22]
(9)
Possible is
but also for
a vanishing
. This is because small and large generator values enter the cyclotomic norm. The lower limit in Equation (7) results from a minimum of a quadratic form
for a given number field with r + s − 1 units forcing upper and lower limits of the regulator RΔ for r real and s complex conjugated pairs of roots of unity [21] [22]. Forcing
requires a process for a tower of number field extension as a feasible process of optimal units
leading to a tower
.
5. Optimal Regulator Process and Renormalization
An additional term in the quadratic form of logarithms
of fundamental units
(11)
ensures a feasible solution for regulator index for base b [23] [24]. An q = r dimensional Euclidean norm
is replaced by a norm-quadruple of finite periods of intervals multiplied by the geometric zeta function
(12)
String length ls = 3 and multiplicity ms = 2 describe Hausdorff dimension
of a Cantor set. Subseqent feasible solutions
yield a tower
of degree higher than 2k of a subsequent map γ (ϕ3). Base b = 2 congruences is expected at the third level for
which supports a Fermat number transform in [25]. In this subsequent process the regulator index RΔ can be lowered a system of equations for a power tower of generators gi as roots of unity where cyclic periods υSh are related to pseudo-congruences mod (gi-1) in the tower
. Periods υSh are mapped to doubly-periodic lattices ω where period-doubling
is viewed as a subsequent generation of new lattices. Topological entropy
is generated by cyclic extensions
. A cyclic field for a minimum of
has the highest information densities. If the exponent of a generator g1 is a square vanishing Gaussian periods are possible where
. For
-components with k = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 one has
for neighbouring interaction layers (w, w + 1) = (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5), (5, 6), respectively. A Dirichlet L-function oscillating like a local Lovelock-like Lagrangian near
defines a particle. Oscillations of
in ζ (ls, ms, z) occur on a circle of radius
. A former real unit E gets complex by substituting γE which justifies to replace the quantity
by the tensorial object
where the skew tensor Rμυ depends on a three-component complex z ≃ l, i.e. units E and lnE oscillate. Subsequent γ (ϕ3)-maps are addition steps on each iterated curve with universal covering u,v,u±v. Period-doubling
yields in case of ω→2ω for the nome
the exact result
. Accordingly, the Legendre module acts as a generator
of cyclic fields. For simplest cycle quadruples q triples of invariants fk, fk+1, fk+2 weave a global metrical texture that is perceived as mass relating quadruple indices q to spin indices s. Periods νSh in
with a tower
give a generator g1 e.g. for a g∞th root of unity
on complex plane for four-component complex roots
(13)
with symbolic solution
which relates congruences in
to a Dirac-like mass. The bi spinor fs ≃ ψs is a cyclic quadruple
in a field
projected onto complex plane. L-functions with circulant regulator determinant
yield a series expansion
in the amplitude 𝔸. The norm
with bicubic complex conjugates
and
of component ψs ≃ Rμυ is a cyclic complex curvature pending between flat, closed and open universes. A linear-dependence between zk, zk + 1 and z k + 2 gives Equation (2) as a renormalized map
(14)
with vertex Γ(ren). In the limit k→∞ one gets the Feigenbaum equation
(15)
with k-component generator gk = αF. A particle peels out from a
polar ball originating from a non-trivial zero znt. Simplest cycles of f (ω) have
whereas
has degree (4⋅3)k. Both congruences are consistent for a k-component-Fermat number transform which is invertible in
for the first four prime number.
6. Conductivity Plateau and Leaves
Processing L-functions and regulators for various iterates the action functional 𝓛 in process (11) and (18) consist of a stationary bifurcating term μ1 (outside zeros znt), a count rate μ2 and a scattering term μ3. These terms are called holomorphic potential or conductivity plateau, air ionization or net rate and, cosmic rays or bifurcating trees. Transitions between plateaus generate a net rate (18) with occupation number (12) due unstable orbits of bifurcation. A formerly iterated unit
undergoes additional optimizing as Feigenbaum renormalization or a regulator process
via terms μ1, μ2, μ3 in Equation (18). Supposing that nontrivial zeros znt of ζ (z) describe masses mn charge quanta are definable by entire, holomorphic ξ (z) and L (z,χ) which satisfy a hyperbolic Laplacian
with
. For ξ (znt) = 0 and λ = znt one gets the screened Poisson equation
(16)
for mn slices with
with Lagrange parameter μs and μc for conditions
and
. Equating z ≃ λ and ξ (z) ≃ j for module λ and complex current j a plateau
of conductivity χ and complex electric field E (z) is equivalent to the existence of a holomorphic function ξ (z). Equivalently for field
and temperature gradient
a plateau denotes a holomorphic global potential
(17)
which describes a non-radiative, non-dissipative superfluid of discontinuous self-similar segments dlxy. Traversed Xi-function zeros give a holomorphic current j ≃ E with divj = divE = 0. Equation (16) is invariant for subsequent chaotic γ (ϕ3 (f (ω))-maps. The algorithm is completed by an optimal step for a regulator index minimum for base b of the quadratic form (11) giving
(18)
with Lagrange multiplier μ1, μ2, μ3. Generators gi in algebraic units Ewqi cause stable laps lω of orbits felt as masses. The number of stable 2k orbits is called a lap lω whereas a k-component is an unstable orbit of bifurcation. Simplest cycles quadruples
are stable against laps lω. For
entropy
can be calculated by
in terms of the probability density P (z) for finding an orbit at z. Like Lyapunov exponents highest information densities are expected at critical points
. The thermodynamic variable
in
depends on topological entropy
(19)
with lap number lω. Then the action reads
. Like the Weierstrass ℘-function the cubic
is regarded as a potential energy Ωw. For all interactions w = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 the complex logarithm of algebraic units
is viewed as curvature tensor which oscillates on a circle of radius Hausdorff dimension H (ls, ms). A circulant regulator
near H (ls, ms) leads to
. where
. The thermodynamic potential
in units
gets a complex finite generation count rate. Interaction with the next neighbour in vector potential
dominates for Born-Oppenheimer parameter
. Therefore, this interaction requires
or w > 3,9524 which is realized for gravity and dark matter. A physical interaction is defined as a minimum of the L-function
in accordance with elastic spacetime. Because
depends on the algebraic units E, one has
reducing action
by topological entropy 4lnb2. Holomorphic plateau-like information currents describe dissipation-less doubly-periodic waves of temperature and entropy. A bifurcation of curvature on a complex surface is viewed as branches and leaves of trees and bizarre plants as shown in Figure 1.

7. Charge and Quantum Entanglement
The charge condition in Equation (16) goes via holomorphic ξ (z) plateaus-like where a plateau denotes a neutral chaotic quadrupolar motion between ±1/2 ± imn with e.g. coupling constant
. A charge ‘e’ forms out for congruences
on ℂw. Then a 1meV↔1020eV congruence justifies to multiply the global potential (16) by the charge ‘e’ and to replace fractional ζ (ls, ms, l)-segments in Equation (17) by a differential dlxy. A maximal five-layer gyro-twist surface ℂw contains k-component period-doubling
The tower
is regarded as tree of particles on fractal length dlxy of leaves of the tree in Figure 1. Beyond resolving a 1020eV energy into a 1meV potential the cosmic microwave background above GZK cutoff is simply first periods νSh at low k. It is claimed that measured microwave emission near conductivity plateaus proves this conjecture [28] [29]. Vanishing Gaussian periods in interfaces are viewed as self-contained intermediate layer between e.g. five atmospheric layer ℂ5. Accordingly, the module
explains CCP, the definition of quantum statistics as well QE in the universe [10]. Oscillations of L-function near vanishing Gaussian periods are particles. Topological entropy ht is like stirring a non-dissipative highly-correlated solid-fluid-gaseous slushy with a whisk creating periods νSh. This k-component process is universal in micro space and macro space and creates plateaus as simple zeta zeros
which can be regarded as a giant mass
The γ-correlated k-component tree
of bifurcating spacetime ranges from plants or conductivity plateaus in semiconductor layer laboratory up to higher atmospheric layers [12] [30].
Figure 2. Diurnal variation of air ions in Grape vegetation area from [12].
Besides ergodic time-reversible laps non-ergodic time-irreversible components exist. Every point is surrounded by
components which means that matter as cosmic rays is created for large M e.g. at seasonal growth of plants. Like cosmic rays enhanced air ionization rate near plants as well a seasonal behavior of cosmic rays is expected. Both predictions are measured e.g. in vegetation areas in Figure 2 and seasonal variations of cosmic ray intensity [30].
8. Conclusion
The minimal and maximal nontrivial case is taking spacetime as discrete dynamics on elliptic curves. This iterates quadratically a complex curvature of spacetime. Complex curvature opens a spacetime bud or cavity of closed lines of complex numbers composed by roots of unity. Number-theoretically period-doubling steps k increase the lattice dimension k of algebraic units as information density which self-consistently minimizes a regulator index of cyclic extensions of number fields. Like organic growth period-doubling creates buds, shoots, leaves of a tree. Matter as correlated spacetime cavities or buds with cyclic generators is inseparably connected with k pseudo-congruent iterated complex curvatures. This highly correlated non radiative non-dissipative potential defines an upper velocity of quantum entanglement in spacetime which underlies causal interactions. Examples are air ionisation at plant growth due to cosmic-ray-like shower k-components which are highly correlated up to the exosphere and, thus, are a stabilizing environment of every matter. Like holomorphic surfaces of plants, a conductivity plateau displays a path-independent holomorphic potential between two points on a two-dimensional surface. The transition between plateaus is connected with large mass changes M and an emission rate of a k-component tree proportional to the geometric zeta function (12).
