More amplituhedron capability (projected hull surface area and volume)

Getting more capability built into ToE_Demonstration.nb where it can now calculate the scattering amplitude by calculating the volume of the projected hull of selected edges in the n-Simplex Amplituhedron (based on a theory by Nima Arkani-Hamed, with some Mathematica code from J. Bourjaily for the positroid diagram). Of course, there is still much work to get this wrapped up…

A few more pics of Positive Grassmannian Amplituhedrons…

This last diagram is obtained using the following amplituhedron0.m as input to the ToE_Demonstration.nb (when using fully licensed Mathematica) as shown below:

Amplituhedron Visualizations!

Playing around trying to visualize the latest in the theoretical high energy particle physics (HEP/TH) determining how particle masses might be predicted from geometric principles (based on a theory by Nima Arkani-Hamed, with some Mathematica code from J. Bourjaily for the positroid diagram).
