Abstract. By considering an ensemble of nonrelativislic quantum particles living in a superposition of dimensionality up to N0 we demonstrate that if in addition superheavy Planck mass particles are generated by an unpaired twofold quantum variable, that the most favorable thermodynamic configuration is for 1063 quantum particles living in four space time dimensions with no superheavy Planck mass particles generated at the Planck scale. Our argument favours these heavy G.U.T. scale particles as constituents of the early universe.
