In particular getting the expression RR=~RR for an imaginary universe and presumably GG=GG for a real universe. But quantum mechanics demands a complex universe. It must be a simple step to go from separate real and imaginary universes to a complex universe. Should I be amused that Kauffman did not take that step? I conjectured about doing that in my Metaverse String Cosmology paper. It would be nice to but some math around it with a suitable reference.
