1.5.10 Summary
In this chapter we introduced the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff theorem and the revelation that the matrix logarithm of Lie group products with non-commuting algebras is composed of Lie bracketed terms. Analogous to the Fourier transform, a Lie group's essential information is contained in its Lie algebra, which can be accessed by the matrix logarithm and by evaluating the tangent space in the neighborhood of the group identity. By extending minimal elements to the infinitesimal scale, we were able to define the infinity symmetry group , a group defined by its smooth and continuous tangent space, . This continuous tangent space naturally led to the definition of its subtangent space comprised of angle functions, whose exponential mappings determine the forms of the tangent space. We have extended the definition of an identity element , to that of the identity group , an intuitive step anchored in the mathematical forms of and its subtangent space . The extension of Lie theory to include a defined continuous tangent space and subtangent space, gives rise to the possibility of considering not only circular motion and mechanics but that of non-zero eccentricity groups.
Our takeaway is that group dynamics may be isolated to subgroup geometries in the infinity symmetry group , including differing manners of movement, like rotations, boosts, and extension. Movement in the function angle space is mathematically primordial and not bounded to any subgroup's geometry. This primordial movement in the function angle space is not limited by space or time and is unbound from a phenomenal form. The angle space represents a fitting starting point to explore the domain of the mind, the subject matter of our future work.
