Bit-String Physics Prediction of eta, The Dark Matter/Baryon Ratio and Omega_M

Using a simple combinatorial algorithm for generating finite and discrete events as our numerical cosmology, we predict that the baryon/photon ratio at the time of nucleogenesis is $\eta= 1/256^4$, $\Omega_{DM}/\Omega_B= 12.7$ and (for a cosmological constant of $\Omega_{\Lambda}=0.6\pm 0.1$ predicted on general grounds by E.D.Jones) that $0.325 > \Omega_M > 0.183 $. The limits are set not by our theory but by the empirical bounds on the renormalized Hubble constant of $0.6 < h_0 < 0.8$. If we impose the additional empirical bound of $t_0 < 14 Gyr$, the predicted upper bound on $\Omega_M$ falls to 0.26. The predictions of $\Omega_M$ and $\Omega_{\Lambda}$were in excellent agreement with Glanz' analysis in 1998, and are still in excellent agreement with Lineweaver's recent analysis despite the reduction of observational uncertainty by close to an order of magnitude.
