Derivation of the set of the fundamental interactions from first principles

Global conservation laws require the fundamental interactions to be processes which transfer information from one particle to another. Therefore, in order to show what types of interactions may exist, we derive from the very first principles a set of the most fundamental information transfers and their basic properties. Within these information transfers, we identify candidates for gravitational, electromagnetic and strong scattering, and also for weak decay. We do it by taking the characteristic properties of each fundamental interaction, such as confinement or parity violation, and by using them to rule out information transfers without these properties. The found mapping then makes possible to study the information transfers in order to get knowledge about the corresponding fundamental interactions.

Automated summary

The paragraph discusses the global conservation laws requiring fundamental interactions to transfer information between particles, and deriving the most fundamental information transfers and their basic properties from first principles. By considering the characteristic properties of each interaction, it is possible to identify candidates for gravitational, electromagnetic, strong scattering, and weak decay interactions.
