We have recently proposed a pre-quantum, pre-space-time theory as a matrix-valued Lagrangian dynamics on an octonionic space-time. This theory offers the prospect of unifying internal symmetries of the standard model with pre-gravitation. We explain why such a quantum gravitational dynamics is in principle essential even at energies much smaller than Planck scale. The dynamics can also predict the values of free parameters of the low energy standard model: these parameters arising in the…

We propose an E8 ⊗ E8 unification of the standard model with pre-gravitation, on an octonionic space (i.e. an octonion-valued twistor space equivalent to a 10D space-time). Each of the E8 has in its…
