Description

This paper shows that the properties of space-time that constitutes the background of the theory of special relativity, namely its dimensionality, the correct partition of dimensions between one time-type and three space-type dimensions and the Minkowski metrics, may emerge from a set of completely interacting binary units structured by a noise defined in a Landau-type free energy of Higgs fields and by gauge symmetries, in particular those related to the permutation group of four objects.
