My ideas surrounding the shape of the universe being a scaled 4-sphere arose in 2008 in no small part because of Hamilton’s obsessions with quaternions.  Much of my at the time unjustified by sober rational criteria conviction for a universe that is $S^4 = \mathbf{HP}^1$ arose from a trust in Hamilton’s obsession.  The concrete empirical evidence for this I only established in late 2012.  Of course this is still far from accepted but I hope that once the hydrogen spectrum can be modeled reasonably we can find simple ways of approaching contradiction-less unity of gravity and other phenomena.  Already we have some justification to show that an explanation of quantization by the geometry of the universe has some merit — by the simple known spectrum of the Dirac operator on a sphere and a Dirac-like equation for the photon due to Majorana.  Purely logically, since I have provided evidence via heat equation analysis that the universe must be compact, the expectation that quantum phenomena are globally determined is not surprising.
