Research and projects exploring the intersection of geometry, perception and foundations of physics.
Current lines of inquiry, from geometry and perception to foundations of physics and number theory.
A reappraisal of the Dirichlet series avoiding traditional analytic continuation, focusing on intrinsic regularization and structural degeneracy.
Color perception is typically treated as an empirical mapping between wavelengths and visual response. This line of inquiry explores whether a simple geometric relation underlies that mapping, relating the structure of the visible spectrum to internal alignments between Platonic forms, expressed as a scalar relation across a bounded range.
This approach allows the standard CIE color system to be revisited from a structural perspective, suggesting that perceived primaries may reflect geometric constraints rather than purely physiological or conventional definitions.
There is a persistent gap between physical description and the emergence of life and individual consciousness. This line of inquiry explores whether an intermediate domain is missing — arising from a unification of physical processes and perceptual and cognitive organization.
Earlier explorations of this question were documented in an experimental and eclectic form, which is due for revision. More recent work revisits the problem in relation to contemporary physics, including parallels with neutrino mass eigenstates.
Published essays and articles on geometry, perception, sound, color and related foundational themes.
A recent independent publication on the statistical validation of the CIE-Platonic color mapping framework.
An interactive object in which geometric relations underlying color are made perceptible at human scale. The work explores how alignments between Platonic solids may relate to the organization of the CIE color system, approached as a scalar relation within a geometric framework.
Currently in studio assembly as part of Project Rainbow Weaver, the Cosmochrome evolves step by step as both research object and installation, with the aim of becoming a permanent public work.
Frank van den Bovenkamp is an entrepreneur and independent researcher with a background in physics and engineering. After graduating from Saxion University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, he founded a technology venture focused on electronics and applied innovation, including software for ECG-based heart coherence and biofeedback used in professional settings.
In recent years, his work has shifted toward fundamental research and publication, exploring relations between geometry, perception and foundations of physics. This line of inquiry extends into Project Rainbow Weaver and the Cosmochrome, where these ideas take form as a physical, interactive installation.
Alongside this, he has contributed to the conceptual and software development of organisational models aimed at improving work quality in large-scale environments.
Part of his work is carried out within TGM Research BV.
