I present you my personal view on the hierarchy of objects that occur in nature. I only treat the lowest levels.
A-- The lowest level is space that is formed by the number system of the RATIONAL quaternions. However, better make it an affine space (a space without an origin). The real part of the quaternions defines progression. Progression conforms to proper time. As a consequence progression steps with a fixed step. Quaternionic numbers exist in 16 discrete symmetry sets
HYPOTHESIS: At its start nature used only one discrete symmetry set for its lowest level objects. This situation stays throughout the history of the model.
