hi,

saw your posting on the LENR website.

can you comment on my write up from 9 years ago of another person's hypothesis of the periodic table ? I basically tried to summarize and explain Vallery Tsimmerman hypothesis.

here is my write up:

here is a news article on it:

here is Vallery Tsimmerman's website

Thanks for stopping by.

This isn't quite different from the traditional lattice approach, is it? Those sorts of things aren't new and unfortunately they don't work.

There are many attempted periodic table formats - I'm not sure I have a strong opinion about those in particular but I'm open to other ways to display the information - i don't know that there is a 'best' way. I'm filling one out using this approach, using the most abundant isotope, you can see it here:

What's interesting about the diceotope model is that it suggests that nuclear structure is about as independent from electron orbital filling (i.e. dominated just by net charge) as most of our traditional models assume, unlike the SAM approach, with subtle variance (different net magnetic moment/spin/etc.) between elemental isotopes explained by structural differences here. That stuff would come from 3rd order reasoning, which i'm working on clarifying but haven't formalized simply.

I don't know if it is a lattice approach, did you look at it? There are multiple coincidences that are explained by Vallery Tsimmerman approach.
