Creating 3, 4, 6 and 10-dimensional spacetime from W3 symmetry

We describe a model where breaking of W3 symmetry will lead to the emergence of time and subsequently of space. Surprisingly the simplest such models which lead to higher dimensional spacetimes are based on the four “magical” Jordan algebras of 3×3 Hermitian matrices with real, complex, quaternion a...
