Abstract
We review the “ichi” linguistic geometry of Catherine Acholonu’s three books
titled The Adam Trilogy and published under three book titles – Gram Code of
African Adam (GCAA, 2005), They Lived Before Adam (TLBA, 2009) and Lost
Testament of Ancestors of Adam (LTAA, 2010) – based on its algebraic
representations as “Afa” Matrix : 8x8 = 64 = 28+36 = 26+38 = 32+32 = 24+40
and the following correspondence principle with elements of quantum field theory
Points<=>Particles, Lines<=>Fields, Planes<=>Currents.
As a consequence, we relate the number of the primitive elements (points,lines &
planes) of 3-dimensional projective geometry of linguistic frames of reference
(tetrahedron, square & hexagonal pyramids, Cartesian cube and cube-hexagon
hyperspace) to the Gell-Mann-Ne’emann 8x8 representation of SU(3) symmetry
and current algebra of strongly interacting particles in high energy physics. By
comparing the “ichi” linguistic geometry with Kaku’s ten-dimensional
hyperspace view of the (superstring) theory of everything (TOE) (unifying the
four basic (electromagnetic, weak, strong and gravitational) forces in nature and
Stephen Hawking’s Torus view of the universe (based on the use of quantum
fluctuations to eliminate the black-hole singularity of Einstein’s general relativity
theory of gravitation), we develop an African perspective on TOE based on cube-
hexagon hyperspace/torus and the associated current algebra and discuss the
consequences.

1. INTRODUCTION At the 2009 International Seminar on Theoretical Physics and National
Development (ISOTPAND-2009), we began under the title[1], “Ichi” linguistic
geometry and evolution, to lay the mathematical/physical foundations of
Catherine Acholonu’s three books[2] titled The Adam Trilogy, Vols 1, 2 & 3,
published under the separate titles: The Gram Code of African Adam (hereunder
abbreviated GCAA, 2005); They Lived Before Adam (TLBA, 2009); and The Lost
Testament of the Ancestors of Adam (LTAA, 2010). The mathematical foundation
of interest is the branch of topology known as singular homology[3] which is
concerned, in geometric and algebraic terms, with the triangulation and algebraic
projective geometry of linguistic frames of reference (tetrahedron, square-based
and hexagonal-based pyramids, cube, pentagon, hexagon and cube-hexagon
hyperspace) from which can be proved, as stated by Machio Kaku[4] on p.105 of
his 1995-published book titled Hyperspace, A Scientific Odyssey Through
Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th
Dimension, that “the fifth
dimension is topologically identical with a circle and the universe is topologically
identical with a cylinder”.
In order to anchor this paper on available physical data (artefacts) from
traditional African culture, let us recall[5] the prevalence of conical-shaped huts
on polygonal base throughout Africa which was adopted in the architecture of the
National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NISS) at Jos, replicating the
famous groundnut pyramids on polygonal base (in Northern Nigeria) and, the
more intriguing architecture of the step pyramid at Nsude in Enugu State of
Nigeria photographed by missionaries in the 1930s and reproduced in Fig. 1
below. By enclosing the step pyramid in a cylinder whose circular section is
defined by the six tips of a hexagon and the height by the five tips of a square
pyramid (to represent growth along the cylindrical axis), one can generate the
inter-joined 5&6-quadrangle pattern indicated in Fig. 1 which is a recurrent motif
of Igbo artistic expression (LTAA, p.81) and replicate the distinctive hexagon
grid on the “enigmatic” Igbo-Ukwu bronze tyre/hyperdoughnut (TLBA, p.447),
i.e. a torus, immersed in a cube-hexagon hyperspace!. This semiology, that is,
physics and logic, of African culture goes beyond the post-colonial theme of
struggle between invading European culture (represented by a rectangular box
totem of Christian missionaries) and African culture (represented by the “creation
snake”) that got trapped in the box in Chinua Achebe’s novel, Arrow of God.[6].

2. REVIEW OF THE ADAM TRILOGY Our primary interest in ref.[1] was to characterize the linear writing code
(preserved in Ikom Monoliths) of the African[Igbo] Mother tongue of world
languages discussed in GCAA and the various artefacts excavated by the British
archaeologist, Thurston Shaw[7], in 1950s at Igbo-Ukwu in South Eastern
Nigeria, especially the bronze hyper-doughnut(torus) (TLBA, p.447) shown in
Fig. 1 in terms of the facial scarification, (called “ichi”) discussed in TLBA &
LTAA, and the stone age axe excavated by Anozie[7]. Projective geometry comes
into play through Da Vinci codes[8] defined (like Miller indices in solid state
physics) by the ratios and total number (S) of the three primitive geometric
elements, points(vertices) :lines(edges): planes(faces), of the various geometric
objects, e.g. 4:6:4 (S=14) for the tetrahedron and 5:8:5 (S=18) for square-based
pyramid, 8:12:6 (S=26) for cube, 7:12:7 (S=26) for hexagonal-based pyramid and
12:18:8 (S=38) for hexagon, etc. Accordingly, from the statement (p. 128,
TLBA) that “Eve or Shi in plane geometry meant the side of a square or triangle”
and (pp. 155 & 177,TLBA) quoting from Nag Hammadi that “the entities Father
[Nna], mother [Nne] and Child [Nwa] exist as perceptible speech” having in them

“three powers, and abiding in three NNN, three quadrangles, secretly in ineffable
silence” [of the Ikom Monoliths], we set up a correspondence in Fig. 2.

African Journal of Physics Vol.3, 2010.
The correspondence between the “ichi” (linear writing) codes and the alphabet
systems identified in ref.[1], i.e. Arabic(28), English(26), Igbo(36&38), etc and
man (Adam) as the symbol of creation (32) is based on complementary
representations of the “Afa” Matrix : 8x8 = 64 = 28+36 = 26+38 = 32+32 =
24+40, with consequential doubling of the reference objects.
Physically, linguistic geometry is based on sound as the vehicle of
communication of the first human, called “Ele Chi Ife” or “Bearer of Light” (p.30
LTAA). Ele was the father of the forest people (Bushmen) which was the original
meaning of the word Igbo who called themselves Sons of the Soil, i.e. the Adama
and the Nshi. It is the claim of The Adam Trilogy that Ele evolved from the Big
Bang before the Niphilim came and changed the course of things from evolution
to creation; that Ele lived in Ugwuele Okigwe (Imo State) and environs and his
language was the Igbo Afa word Atu (the origin of the Egyptian word Atum)
which, according to Prof. J.A. Umeh [9] on p.81 of his 1977-published book titled
After God Dibia, means “The Word of the Creator”. Afa is the Igbo word for
Oracle - the Primeval Oracle Matrix given to the first people by God; its
equivalent among the Yoruba is called Ifa. It was a language used by all growing
things (man, beast and crystalline minerals) alike, a language of symbols and of
geometry. which is why it is possible to lay the foundation for the creation of man
(“Adam”) and the theory of everything (TOE) in geometry.
Consequently, the linguistic frames of reference (tetrahedron, square-
based and hexagonal-based pyramids, cube, hexagon and pentagon) indicated in
Fig. 2 are capable of uniting, on one hand, Gell-Mann-Ne’eman[10] 8x8
representation of the (SU(3)) symmetry of the strongly interaction particles in
high energy physics from their occurrence in the product 8x8 = 1 + 8 + 17 + 8 +
10 + 10*, which (as shown on p. 31 of Y. Ne’eman’s [10] 1963-published book
entitled Algebraic Theory of Particle Physics) contains two equivalent octets and
splits into a symmetric 1 + 8 + 27 = 13+2
3+3
3 = 36 (dual pyramid) and
antisymmetric 8+10+10* = 2x(12+2
2+3
2) = 28 (dual tetrahedron) parts. On the
other hand the cube (S=26) [or hexagonal-based pyramid(S=26)] and the
hexagon (S=38) satisfy a similar relation 26+38 = 64 = 8x8 which we shall
explain in Sec. 3 of this paper after presenting the cosmological framework of the
ancient African(Igbo-Ukwu) craftsmen, for the purpose of developing in Sec. 4 an
African perspective on the string and superstring theory of everything espoused in
the articles in Cambridge University Press 1988-published Superstrings, A Theory
of Everything? edited by Davies and Brown[11] as well as Kaku’s[4] 1995-
published Hyperspace and Time Magazine[12] Dec. 31, 1999 edition on Albert

Einstein as Person of the Century). While Witten’s supergravity (string)
theory[12], also called the M-theory, is constructed in 11-dimensional hyperspace
geometry inhabited by weird objects called branes, superstring TOE distinguishes
an open string model with gauge group SO(32) and a closed (“heterotic”) string
model with gauge group E8xE8 for grand unification of strong and electroweak
forces with gravity in hyperspaces of 10- and 26-dimensions that get compactified
to the observed O(3,1) Minkowki space-time.
The crux of the problem in these theories is the dichotomy of point-like
and extended (string-like) particles and analytically, hyperspaces of more than
four dimensions[13] used in TOE correspond to the Da Vinci Codes number (S)
of the geometrically closed (linguistic) objects of the theory while the uncertainty
principle relating energy and time in conventional quantum mechanics and energy
and extremely short distances (much smaller than the observed size of elementary
particles) in quantum theory of gravity is linked to the existence of black hole
singularity in the universe (see, M. Green’s article at p.123 of ref.[11] and
Stephen Hawking’s [14] 1988-published Bantam book entitled A Brief History of
Time from the Big Bang to Black Holes). For the geometrically closed objects,
the mathematical singularity of Einstein’s general relativity theory of gravitation
arises in the representation of interaction between strings (in Feynman space-time
picture of quantum field theory) by world sheets which are topologically
equivalent to a sphere or torus with an arbitrary number of holes. Consequently,
if we adopt Kaku’s procedure (p. 160 ref’[4]) for constructing TOE from
geometry along Einstein’s unified field programme:
Geometry =>Field Theory=>Classical theory=>Quantum theory,
the following correspondence principle with concepts of quantum field theory,
Points <=> Particles, Lines <=> Fields, Planes <=> Currents,
can be used to construct an African perspective on TOE based on cube-hexagon
hyperspace/torus and current algebra as will be presented in Sec.4. The results
will be discussed in Sec. 5 where conclusions will also be drawn.
3. AFRICAN WORLD VIEW
3.1 Cosmological Framework
As stated by Animalu[15] in his 1988 Lecture to the Nigerian Academy of
Science titled, Science, Religion and African Culture: “throughout history, human
societies have developed world views and cosmological frames of reference for
organizing their activities. These world views explain the how and why of daily
existence and therefore constitute the essential cultural ingredient of every
society. 'Usually the views are products of experiences so pregnant with drama
that they give rise to symbols or totems of some sort; the symbols or totems give
rise to thought; and thoughts give rise to customs and codes of the society. The
37
African Journal of Physics Vol.3, 2010.
world view of a society is successful to the extent that it is so internalized, from
childhood onwards, that it goes unquestioned, manifesting itself in various forms
of geometric symbols as written language and other artistic expressions”.
Consequently, as the foremost African scientific historiographer, Professor K.O.
Dike[16] put it in a paper for UNESCO in 1960:
“Africa in particular has confronted scholars with communal societies where
science cannot be separated from religion, or religion from law and politics,
where history is nothing but the history of the whole culture, a seamless
garment of such fine-woven texture, that any attempts to separate single
strands merely distort the whole.”
It is from this holistic perspective that we may look at Anya’s[17] dictum:
"Most African Societies. including the Nigerian society, operate on a
cosmological framework in which time is conceived as cyclical and space is
organized in three compartments - the heavens above, the earth below it and
the underworld beneath the earth - all conceived as contiguous and
continuous, once more in a cyclical continuum, as summarized succinctly in
Fig.3a[below], derived from Kalu[18].
Thus in ref.[15] the distinctive concept in Kalu’s representation of African cosmic
space-time continuum in Fig. 3a was identified as cyclical “African time” related
by a Mobius (non-unitary) transformation to the conventional linear time of
classical (Newtonian & special relativistic) and (Heisenberg) quantum mechanics.
Consequently, one may follow Kepler’s[16] use of Platonic solids as “archetypes”
in his reconstruction of cosmic pentagon grid around a spherical model of Sun-
centred (Copernican) planetary system, and similarly use interconnected
equilateral triangles to reconstruct Kalu’s African cosmic space and cyclic time
continuum so as to reproduce the distinctive hexagonal grid on the African (Igbo-
Ukwu) bronze torus as indicated in Fig. 3b

In addition, if we apply a similar triangulation to the nano-world of the hexagonal
crystallographic structure of graphene[19] made from two different sublattices,
we may (by employing the conventional cyclic boundary conditions of solid state
physics[20]) topologically fold the crystal lattice into either a torus with square
grid or a torus with hexagonal grid, as elaborated in Fig. 5.

made from two different sublattices, and (ii) its topological folding
into either a torus with square grid or torus with hexagonal grid.

African Journal of Physics Vol.3, 2010.
A similar hexagonal grid over Earth’s spherical surface has been produced in
more recent time by the National Geographic [21] as shown in Fig.6,
underscoring the depth and contemporary relevance of the ancient African (Igbo-
Ukwu) world view and the need to analyze the geometry of the cube-hexagon
hyperspace identified earlier in Figs1 and2(ii) in order to determine its physical
content from the linguistic “Afa” Matrix relations 8x8 = 64 = 26+38=32+32 and
modern physics to which we turn next.
3.2 Characterization of the Cube-Hexagon Hyperspace
We begin by recalling the well-known fact in solids state physics (see chapter 1 of
ref.[20]) that a face-centred cubic (fcc) packing of hard spheres has the same
packing fraction(f=0.74) as an ideal hexagonal close-packed (hcp) arrangement
for which the ratio of the dimensions of axial to basal lattice cells,
633.13/8/ ac is the so-called -ratio that accounts for growth in the
universe. Thus, to construct the cube-hexagon hyperspace, in Fig. 1 one may use
the fact[22] that the plane passing through the mid-points of six sides of the cube
produces a hexagon which is the base of a hexagonal-based pyramid, and if the

side of the cube is 1 unit, then the side of the hexagon is 21
. As a result we
obtain the cube-hexagon hyperspace shown in Fig.7, which is suitable for
representations of hadrons (baryons and mesons) in hexagonal (I,B,Y)-space
according to SU(3) symmetry and leptons (electron, muon and neutrino) in cubic
(Q,L,B)-space, I being the isotopic spin, Y the hypercharge, B the baryon number,
L the lepton number, and eQ the electric charge ( in unit of proton charge, e=1). It
is this apparent doubling of axes which makes the cube-hexagon hyperspace 6-
dimensional that we are after..

3.3 Representation of Cube-Hexagon Hyperspace by a Torus.
Cube-hexagram duality reflects the hologrammatic nature of growth in the
universe, from replication of cubes and its hyperlink with the hexagon in all
directions into an apparently infinite lattice, which results in expansion of the
universe in accordance with the ratio, 8/5=1.6, determined by the Da Vinci Code
(5:8:5) of the square pyramid and nearly equal to the ratio 6.13/8/ ac of
the hexagonal close-packed lattice. The multiplication of cubes and the
hyperlinked hexagons is made possible in the presence of matter through
mirroring effect, as if the six sides of the cube are mirrors but this creates an
illusion of infinite lattice whose folding into a torus [like the African (Igbo-Ukwu)
bronze torus distinctive hexagonal grid] eliminates boundary effects. In terms of
propagation of spherical light wave from a point with constant speed (c) in
vacuum the mirroring may be associated with a dielectric () due to the presence
of matter that results in deformation of “point” sphere in Minkowski space-time
into a torus,

cube and the other sphere circumscribing the hexagon as shown in,Fig.8: This
may be termed the “black hole” solution associated with “Big Bang”.

usual scale transformation ( being a scaling parameter) and conformal
transformations so that. translational invariance and conformal invariance are
compatible on a torus! The surprise is apparent from what Carl Segan of Cornell
University said in his Introduction to Stephen Hawking’s book titled A brief
History of Time[13] about a universe that has the form of a torus:
“Hawking embarks on a quest to answer Einstein’s famous question
whether God had any choice in creating the universe. Hawking is
attempting, as he explicitly states, to understand the mind of God. And
this makes all the more unexpected the conclusion of the effort : a
universe with no edge in space, no beginning or end in time[like a torus]
and nothing for the Creator to do”.
The conclusion of the effort in question, as Hawking stated on p. 116 of his
book[13] is
“the possibility [when quantum mechanics is taken into account] that
space-time was – [like a torus] – finite but had no boundary, which means
that it had no beginning or moment of creation”.

In other words, both quantization in geometry and generalization to higher
dimensions lie within the ambit of Einstein’s general relativity theory on a torus
which, according to Kaku[4], is the “generic” geometric object of superstring
TOE.
4. AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE ON THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING
An important feature of any theory of everything is that it must bring
together all the elementary particles (leptons, baryons and mesons) and hydrogen
as well as all gauge fields and conserved currents. This is achieved in the cube-
hexagon representation displayed earlier in Fig. 7 through the correspondence
principle between the (points, lines & planes) of projective geometry of three-
dimensional space and the (particles, fields & currents) of quantum field theory:
Points<=>Particles, Lines<=>Fields, Planes<=>Currents.
Our (African) perspective on TOE is how to achieve these objectives through a
synthesis of linguistic (cube-hexagon) hyperspace/torus geometry in which space-
time quantization into a lattice is achieved according to modern solid state
physics and hadronic mechanics of extended (string-like) elementary particles.
For avoidance of doubt, a simple characterization of hyperspace/torus by a
6-vector in the context of a tetrahedron of reference of 3-dimensional projective
geometry is provided by Einstein’s “unified” field metric tensor (hg ) in terms of
three-vectors of both space and time analogous to electric and magnetic field
vectors, suggested by Animalu[24] such that:

vector space, into a torus whose quantization into a space-time lattice defines, as
discussed in Sec. 3.3, a cube-hexagon hyperspace among other features.
The bringing together of all elementary particles into a cube-hexagon
hyperspace with coupled double axes (B,L,Q) and (B,Y,I), is provided by a
group-extension of the Lorentz group to O(4,2) dynamical symmetry group
(Barut[25]) such that, as shown by Animalu[26], there is a charge-like Fermion
number (F) in addition to Fermion electric charge FeQ , and strangeness FS

and the spin-angular momentum (j) obeys, according to Yuval Ne’eman,(p.3 of
ref.[10]), the spin-parity relation

Consequently, one can transform the fractional electric charge matrix ) ( qQ of the
Gell-Mann-Zweig quark triplet (u,d,s) into the corresponding charge matrix ( Q )
the lepton triplet ),,( e by using a discrete symmetry of hyperspace defined
by an antisymmetric matrix (U) (which is non-unitary):

and shifting 2/3 of the leptonic charge to the lepton number obtain fractional
baryon number of the quarks. However, to make the non-unitary transformation
non-singular, we may, following Santilli[27], replace the matrices, U and U+, by

This demands, for mathematical consistency, the use of Santilli’s Lie-admissible
generalization of the conventional Lie-algebraic structure .of quantum mechanics.
One of the consequences is that quarks can be eliminated as hadronic constituents,
and hadrons can be synthesized as “hadronic” bound states of physical particles
produced in their decays.
To unify the gauge fields from our perspective, the usual 10 independent
components of 4x4 Einstein symmetric metric tensor ( g ) can be unified with
the Maxwell’s electric and magnetic field vectors and augmented with Yang-Mills
field 6x6 metric tensor for a unified gauge (boson) fields which, in linguistic
geometry, corresponds an extension of the cube (S=26) for the 26=5x5+1 English
alphabets to the dual square pyramid (S=36) for the standard 36 Igbo alphabets.

5. CONCLUSION
The finding in this paper is that all elementary particles can be represented in 6-
dimensional cube-hexagon hyperspace with axes (B,L,Q) and (B,Y,I), in
agreement with the demonstration by the Australian biologist Illert[28], winner of
the Nobel Prize in physics, that an accurate representation of the growth of
seashells occurs via the use of a six-dimensional space, that is, a space in which
each axis is doubled. This leads to the conclusion that everything in nature
including languages, nano-particles and elementary particles, exhibit the
phenomenon of growth and hence life whose time-irreversible evolution is
characterized by non-unitary discrete symmetry of six-dimensional cube-hexagon
hyperspace that relates integral-charged leptons and rational-charged quarks: we
call this the principle of complementary duality to which the next paper is
devoted.
