- Abstract: How to quantize gravity is a major outstanding open question in quantum
physics. While many approaches assume Einstein's theory is an effective
low-energy theory, another possibility is that standard methods of quantization
are the problem. In this paper, I analyze a quantization mechanism based on
chaotic dynamics of 5D general relativity (with imaginary time) with BKL
dynamics in the mixmaster universe as an example. I propose that the randomness
of quantum mechanics as well as its other properties such as nonlocality derive
from chaotic flow of 4D spacetime through a 5th dimension, with the metric
tensor under Wick rotation to Euclidean space acting as a heat bath for other
quantum fields. This is done by showing that the theory meets mixing conditions
such that it is chaotically self-quantizing and quantizes other fields to which
it is coupled, such that in the limit taking chaotic dynamics scale to zero the
quantization is equivalent to a stochastic quantization. A classical stability
analysis shows this dimension is likely spacelike.

Locality holds for the quantum theory, and seems to be fully obeyed also by the classical treatment.
We do discuss extensively the distinction between the quantum treatment and the classical one, even though they produce exactly the same equations mathematically.
It is suggested to apply this theory for real time quantum model simulations.

The isomorphism allows quantum particles in space-time to be represented as classical one-dimensional threads embedded in a five dimensional thermal-space-time.
If the Feynman dimension is considered to be real, there is a duality between classical threads in five dimensions and quantum particles in four dimensions.
intuitive explanations are given for quantum phenomena including the uncertainty principle, tunnelling, geometric phase, and interference effects.
