Description

We try to demonstrate a simple mathematical structure's properties as an observable physical reality or toy universe. We determine the numerical value of the fine structure constant, alpha = 1/137, from first principles and a simple mathematical structure, propose a possible derivation of the other interaction constants like the gravitational constant and discuss how much observer participancy and interpretation is needed to link the model with physical reality. We conclude doubting the existence of a distinctly recognizable identity of mathematical structure and physical reality without interpretation.

It may be useful to discuss the implications of the discontinuous acceleration function in regard to strings and branes.
