A tension though, does it need to 'vibrate'? Something that vibrates normally have a interaction, as molecules and atoms. If you want to define strings as being over Planck scale then? Well? That would give me my 'theoretical Plank threshold' wouldn't it. But I will not define that as some building blocks you fit together, instead i think I'll let them be as points on a sheet, each one defining the others, locally. And then take the sheet away as it only is a prop, helping me describe it

I started this some years ago, as I started to wonder what a 'frame of reference' really mean. That lead me to scales and Planck scale. Because I'm not discussing 'at rest' here, well, depending on definitions and scale then, not yet at least. And I assume Plank scale to mean something physically meaningful here.
"Experimental observations on the wavelength distribution of the energy emitted by a black body as a function of temperature were at variance with the predictions of classical physics. Planck was able to deduce the relationship between the ener gy and the frequency of radiation. In a paper published in 1900, he announced his derivation of the relationship: this was based on the revolutionary idea that the energy emitted by a resonator could only take on discrete values or quanta. The energy for a resonator of frequency v is hv where h is a universal constant, now called Planck's constant."
"What is a Planck length? The Planck length can be defined from three fundamental physical constants: the speed of light in a vacuum, Planck's constant, and the gravitational constant. The physical significance of the Planck length is an argumentative topic of research. Since the Planck length is so many orders of magnitude smaller than any current instrument could possibly measure, there is currently no way of probing this length scale directly"
I don't expect us to be able to measure at that scale, ever. According to how I look at it measurements shouldn't be possible at this scale. Then again, maybe this is wrong. Maybe we can pass it? Doesn't really matter actually. Frames of reference then 'move' down to some even more 'fundamental' scale.
It has a relevance no matter how you define that scale.

Why would a wave universe be limited to discrete magnitudes of quanta?

Would you say that there is a limit to the differentiation of waves we expect to exist, in radio transmissions for example. Does the universe limit the waves we observe? Should we think of this the same way we use Fourier transformations?

Analogue to digital, and then back?
Using that we then define this universe as having less information than being possible from a analogue definition. Bits do not contain the same information. That's why you can 'compress' the old 'LP' into something more compact, a MP3.

And a 'bit universe' should at some scale dissolve into bits, shouldn't it? A 'frame of reference', scaling it down to a bit, must then be this discrete 'bit quanta'. As that should be where a universe end.

But if you want it to 'vibrate' then, having a tension? Why would a bit be able to vibrate?

Which is more fundamental, bits or frames of reference? I think it must be frames of reference.

Frames of reference does not confuse itself with wanting to define a physical dimensional 'quanta' of a 'size'. What it does is to define the universe as being a result of frames of reference interacting. I use scales for defining it, but I'm not sure you have to stop there. It's my limits of imagination restricting my definitions here. What a frame of reference ultimately might become I'm not sure. But it's a very valid definition, and scaling it down we reach something similar to a 'bit', but we can pass that one into a analogue definition, without bits. A undifferentiated 'sheet' of constants properties and principles giving us a universe.
Analogue as there are no 'bits' to define there,

It's not a strict definition
but it gives you a flavor of how I think of it. Assuming we would like to stop at those bits though, ignoring the constants etc? Do you expect that bit to 'move'? Relative what?

You want something to move, you need dimensions (degrees of freedom) to move in. You need frames of reference, in where we now have defined one 'bit' as becoming one 'frame of reference', interacting with another frame of reference, inside something containing, and enabling, them to observe each other.
You need a arrow, you need a sheet, you need a observer. Or, you need a sheet, you need a arrow, if you define each frame of reference as able to 'observe', as in interact, even without us defining that 'motion'.

Can't 'vibrate' outside a arrow.

So assuming 'one bit' to exist at that sheet, it then must use the sheet to define a vibration from, and it must find a arrow to do it in.

So either we use a sheet, defining that plane in where something move, or we could use frames of reference interacting, defined locally.

Does a hologram enable you to define a position to the things it depicts? From the 'inside'? Or is it a interaction between 'frames of reference' giving you those positions? Don't want to use hologram for it really, this is no hologram to me, but it makes you wonder, doesn't it

We need interactions, and interactions presume relations between what interacts. And that 'between' could then be described as a vacuum, with what interacting representing 'frames of reference'. Degrees of freedom defining dimensions.

Assume the sheet to be a vacuum, then define one 'bit' inside it. Now tell me how it knows it 'move'?

Two ways. Mach principle or as a 'property' of a 'rest mass'.
Inertia.

That's what you have left here. Using my definition of gravity as able to define as a 'down welling' in each point, locally defined, well? I would say that what I define is the 'origin' if you need one, but I would not define it as Mach principle being wrong either. You want to use that arrow defining it, don't you
