Synchronization - The Font of Physical Structure

The computational operation called synchronization, vital for realizing multi-process systems, is described in terms of a Clifford algebra over {-1,0,1}. This provides a two way bridge between the worlds of computation and quantum mechanics, and casts new light on such matters as quantum non-determinism, mechanism and causality, the explicit structure of particles (including dark matter), and the like. We dub this the synchronizational model of quantum mechanics. Oppositely, we show how to represent any computation - sequential or concurrent - in these algebraic terms, thus providing a novel and powerful physically-oriented mathematics for computer science and allied disciplines.
