From physics we know that q2 = αħc. [1] In DP q2 = αBc. A reasonable interpretation might be that q2 is the communication of bits at the speed of light. Since all charge interactions in DP are modeled by photons being emitted or absorbed by charged particles, similar to the Feynman picture of QED, we end up with a picture of something being communicated from one charged particle to another. What is different about the DP picture is that conservation of information and the idea that trajectory information is only a property of particles means that a charged particle cannot emit a photon without simultaneously absorbing a photon or some other particle in order to balance the before and after information. We see the charge of every particle as represented by an orbit that has a number of what we call “charge steps”. During a 6 micro-time cycle, there are 3 steps taken in the Na sub-array and 3 in the Cl sub-array. We hypothesize that the charge of an electron is a consequence of a 3 charge-step cycle. What seems likely is that a charge-step is similar yet different than what might be called a “spin-step.” In this DM model ½ unit of spin is also a consequence of a 3 step cycle.
Since the speed of light and Electrical charge are intimately connected we hypothesize that the existence of 2 electrical charges and 6 color charges can tell us something about the microstructure of space-time. We assume this viewpoint on CPT: If hypothetically, time itself was reversed, then particles would be replaced by their conjugates and parity would be reversed. What we mean is that, given the state of a system at a single point in time, if it were possible to stop the system and then restart the system in reverse, we must observe that particles have been replaced by their conjugates and parity has been reversed. If this were not true, than the reversed system would not have the same laws of physics as the forward system. Therefore we need to add that when we hypothetically reverse the system, we posit that the laws of physics remain unchanged. This is further explained in the section on DM and CPT Symmetry.
Other attributes of DP charge are described in the next section.
