Quantization causes waves:Smooth finitely computable functions are affine
Abstract
Given an automaton (a letter-to-letter transducer, a dynamical 1-Lipschitz system on the space of -adic integers) whose input and output alphabets are , one visualizes word transformations performed by by a point set in real plane . For a finite-state automaton , it is shown that once some points of constitute a smooth (of a class ) curve in , the curve is a segment of a straight line with a rational slope; and there are only finitely many straight lines whose segments are in . Moreover, when identifying with a subset of a 2-dimensional torus (under a natural mapping of the real unit square onto ) the smooth curves from constitute a collection of torus windings. In cylindrical coordinates either of the windings can be ascribed to a complex-valued function for suitable rational . Since is a standard expression for a matter wave in quantum theory (where ), and since transducers can be regarded as a mathematical formalization for causal discrete systems, the paper might serve as a mathematical reasoning why wave phenomena are inherent in quantum systems: This is because of causality principle and the discreteness of matter.
