Description

We derive conservation laws from interactions of actively interacting braid-like excitations of embedded framed spin networks in quantum gravity. Additionally we demonstrate that actively interacting braid-like excitations interact in such a way that the product of interactions involving two actively interacting braid-like excitations produces a resulting actively interacting form.
