  Beginning with Pebble’s restatement of the Roberson-Walker line element, we obtain a way, afterwards, to calculate the relationship between an initial value of the “cosmological constant” and the value of fluctuations in the time component of the metric tensor g (tot). We assume, in doing so that the value of the cosmological “constant” does not change from its initial formation. We close with speculations as to how this ties into other issues in the conclusion.

We do this preparation for a reduction in the energy density so that the value of Δ g t t is very small and consistent with [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref8">8</xref>] . And also, what we are referring to as a phase shift, as for a change of state in the HUP, as delineated below:</p><p>δ t Δ E ≥ ℏ δ g t t | Pre-Octonionic → changeinphase,givenbyp   phase   δ 0 δ t Δ E ≥ ℏ | Octonionic with     δ t ≥ ℏ δ g t t Δ E FIXED (14)</p><p>This matter of Octonionic and Pre Octonionic is being pursued separately by the author, but the notice of a phase shift, is in work which is consistent with work which Dr. Li and Dr. Yang did, in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref9">9</xref>] and the reader can access Octonionic and Pre Octonionic states by the following:</p><p>Keep in mind one basic fact. If we restrict ourselves solely to Octonionic geometry, we are embedded deeply in only what the Standard Model of physics allows. We should though understand what is implied by the physics of the Octonionic structure and so the rest of this first discussion is devoted to it.</p><p>In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref10">10</xref>] , Wilson gives a generalized structure as to Octonionic geometry, and it is a generalized way to introduce higher level geometry into the formation of standard model physics. Crowell, in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref11">11</xref>] examines its applications as to presumed space-time structure. Also note what is said in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref12">12</xref>] the take away from it, is that as quoted from [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref12">12</xref>] , that there exists</p><p>Quote:</p><p>(A linkage to the) mathematics of the division algebras and the Standard Model of quarks and leptons with U (1) &#215; SU (2) &#215; SU (3) gauge fields.</p><p>End of quote:</p><p>Once again, if we have only U (1) &#215; SU (2) &#215; SU (3) gauge fields, we have only the standard model, and that if we wish to have a minimum time step, we need to go beyond the standard model.</p><p>The division algebras are linked to Octonionic structure in a way which is touched upon by Crowell [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref11">11</xref>] , but the main take away is that in the Pre-Planckian space-time regime, that there was specific inputs which may explain some of the findings of [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref13">13</xref>] from a different perspective. As well as [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref14">14</xref>] , it is worth reading, i.e. the reader, [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref15">15</xref>] as well as Reference [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref16">16</xref>] for Baez’s summary as to the properties of Octonions as well. We also claim that resolution of these details will be important in falsification of the argument given in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref17">17</xref>] as well. The uncertain principle as utilized can be checked against the generalized HUP as given in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref18">18</xref>] , and if or not a phase shift in early universe signals, GW, or what have you as given in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref19">19</xref>] occurs, may give insight as to if there are extra dimensions as alleged in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref20">20</xref>] .</p><p>It is worth reviewing if this construction meets the experimental gravitational tests mentioned in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref21">21</xref>] by Abbot et al. of LIGO which started experimental gravitational astronomy. Furthermore, the considerations of Octonionic space-time theory should be checked against the experimental tests mentioned by Corda, in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref22">22</xref>] which could confirm or falsify different gravitational theoretical models. In addition, this can be further refined by the 2<sup>nd</sup> Abbot paper, [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref23">23</xref>] which did a different mass range of black hole binary, as of [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref21">21</xref>] .</p><p>In addition, all these can be used to also vet if [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.79701-ref24">24</xref>] , by Penrose, i.e. cyclic conformal cosmology, as written, is ruled out or confirmed by various experimental and modeling tests.</p></sec><sec id="s4"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>This work is supported in part by National Nature Science Foundation of China grant No. 11375279.</p></sec><sec id="s5"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Beckwith, A.W.
