Abstract

While nonlocality has been considered by some to be a problem for quantum physics, it is, in fact, an essential component of understanding how local interactions actually operate. Locality and nonlocality are fundamental components of a dual system in which each determines the behaviour of the other. The exact characteristics of the different local interactions (weak, strong and electric) can be shown to be completely determined by the nonlocal vacuum structures with which they are associated. At the same time, gravity provides a nonlocal dual to the combined interactions, which has inertia as its local manifestation. A completely integrated description of local interactions and nonlocal vacuum structures is proposed, based on nilpotent quantum mechanics and its unique algebraic structure.
