Welcome

The interaction of two carbon atoms forming a virtual cube can be a mathematically rich topic to explore. The arrangement of carbon atoms in a molecule can give rise to various geometric and algebraic properties, which can be studied using mathematical techniques.

For example, considering the arrangement of carbon atoms as a virtual cube, one can explore its symmetry properties, group theory concepts, and geometric transformations. The cube-like structure can be analyzed in terms of its vertices, edges, and faces, and the relationships between them.

Additionally, the rotational motion of the covalent bonds between carbon atoms can be described using mathematical models, such as angular velocity and rotational angles. This can lead to the exploration of rotational dynamics and its mathematical representations.

Furthermore, the arrangement of carbon atoms can be related to graph theory, where each carbon atom can be considered as a node, and the bonds between them as edges. This opens up avenues for studying graph properties and algorithms on the virtual cube structure.

Overall, investigating the mathematical aspects of a virtual cube formed by two carbon atoms can provide insights into symmetry, group theory, geometry, rotational dynamics, and graph theory. It highlights the interdisciplinary nature of studying molecular structures and their mathematical foundations.

When referring to fixing one end of a string or chain, it is often used as a mathematical approach rather than a physical constraint. Fixing one end allows us to simplify the analysis and focus on the behavior of the free end.

In many mathematical models and simulations, fixing one end of a string or chain is a common assumption that simplifies the problem and facilitates the study of its dynamics. This assumption helps isolate the behavior of the free end and allows for the analysis of its motion, vibrations, or interactions with other elements.

By adopting this mathematical approach, researchers can explore various properties of the system, such as modes of vibration, energy transfer, wave propagation, or resonant frequencies. It provides a framework for mathematical modeling and analysis, enabling insights into the underlying patterns and behaviors of the system.

While physically fixing one end may not be necessary, the mathematical approach of considering one end fixed has proven to be a useful tool in understanding and studying the behavior of vibrating strings, chains, or similar systems. It allows researchers to apply mathematical techniques and concepts to gain insights into the system's dynamics and computational potential.

In mathematics, and particularly in set theory, category theory, type theory, and the foundations of mathematics, a universe is a collection that contains all the entities one wishes to consider in a given situation. Consider the set of all non-branching chains of atoms. This set would include chains of varying lengths and geometries, based on the the particular atoms involved which would lead to varying bond lengths and angles. The angles with carbon chains is approximately 109.5. Like snow flakes though, no two covalent bonds and angles formed by successive bonds are exactly alike, and furthermore they are dynamic entities, not static. But for analytical purposes we will look at chains modeling carbon chains with uniform bond lengths and angles.

There are at least two ways to describe rules that would govern the possible vibrational patterns of a carbon chain, both are based on fixing the first covalent bond in place. The first method programs the chain discretely rotating the bonds by fixed amounts e.g. either zero or 180 degrees at fixed time intervals. This method yields a Cayley table and algebraic "Groups". The second way to program a vibration is to specify relative rates of rotation for each covalent bond around it's carbon atom in succession starting at the fixed end. 

So a molecule in this context of rotating bonds with different  constant rates of rotation and constant length can be described by an n-tuple as follows...(B1,B2,...Bn) where each Bn is the relative rate of rotation for bond n. For example if n=3 we could have (1,2,3). In this case the first bond is rotating at a given rate, and bond number 2 is rotating at twice the rate of the first bond, and likewise the third bond is rotating 3 times as fast as bond number 1. Note, of course that B0 is fixed and stays in place, so that an n-tuple actually represents n+1 bonds.

The elements of the sets under consideration are the covalent bonds in a chain of carbon atoms. Each element of this set is described by its rotational characteristics as a function of time. Each bond, at any point in time, has some rotational position whether measured in degrees or radians...  delta_theta=f(t). There are of course infinitely many possibilities for f.

The simplest situation is that each bond rotates at some integral constant rate and at a constant ratio to the other bonds. For example, each bond rotates at the same rate...1,1,1,1,...

Slightly more complex is different relative integral rates...1,2,3,2,3,...

The cube representation  where the corners correspond to elements of a set ( Ø , a, b, c, ab, bc, ac, abc), relates to the concept of the power set in set theory. The power set of a given set is the set of all possible subsets of that set, including the empty set and the set itself.

In this context, each corner of the cube represents a unique subset of elements from the set. For example, the corner corresponding to "a" represents the subset {a}, while the corner corresponding to "abc" represents the subset {a, b, c}. The empty set corresponds to the corner with no elements.

The transitions or edges of the cube represent the relationships between the subsets. For instance, moving along an edge from one corner to another represents adding or removing an element from a subset.

This cube representation can be a useful tool in understanding and visualizing the relationships and combinations between subsets in set theory. It can also be extended to explore concepts such as set operations (union, intersection, complement) by considering the transitions between the corners of the cube.

   If the time-dependent rotational functions for each bond are limited to integer velocities from the set (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), then you can represent them as discrete functions. 

1. Initial Bond Angles: In the case where initial bond angles are set to zero, we can represent the set of initial bond angles as Ω = {0, 0, ..., 0}, where each entry represents the initial angle of the i-th covalent bond in the molecular system, and all the values are set to zero.
2. Discrete Time-Dependent Bond Rotation Functions: Represent the time-dependent rotational function for the i-th covalent bond as fi(t), where fi(t) is a discrete function with integer values from the set (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) for the i-th bond. This can be denoted as:

fi(t) ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

where fi(t) represents the rotational motion of the i-th bond as a discrete function with integer values for time t.

Using this notation, you can refer to the initial bond angles collectively as Ω = {0, 0, ..., 0}, and the time-dependent rotational functions for each bond as fi(t), where i is the index representing the individual bonds and t represents time. For example, you can describe the angular displacement of the i-th bond as a function of time using the notation Δθi(t), where Δθi(t) = fi(t) represents the change in bond angle for the i-th bond over time, assuming an initial angle of zero for all bonds.

If in actual proteins every 3rd bond rotation is much more limited and usually zero, we can modify the description accordingly:

Rotational Rates (two values from the set (1,2,3,4,5) with a limited third bond): The relative rotational speeds exhibited by each covalent bond within a carbon chain, where the set of rotational rates is selected from the integers 1 to 5. The two values can be any combination of these integers, with the constraint that the third bond's rotational rate is usually zero or significantly limited.

In this modified scenario, we maintain the selection of two values from the set (1,2,3,4,5) for the rotational rates of the majority of covalent bonds in the carbon chain. However, we introduce the constraint that the rotational rate of every third bond is usually zero or significantly limited compared to the other bonds. This constraint reflects the observation in actual proteins where certain bonds exhibit reduced or restricted rotational behavior.

By incorporating this constraint, we can create a model that more closely aligns with the characteristics observed in proteins, allowing us to explore the computational potential and dynamic behavior of carbon chains in a manner that captures some aspects of real protein structures.
