I would be interested in your reply.

Dear Michael!
Let me think it over again. I'll give you reply soon.

All mass transitions are absolute thermodynamic motions, very similar to boiling water's entropy into steam. Not so complex, when looked at this way, just very fast entropy motions.

Dear Lloyd!
I almost never read great scientists' works, because I’m ordinary man and sometimes don’t grasp all their ideas. This reply seems clear and sensible to me and I share it almost! completely concerning of the seocnd part of your post… Regards, Merab.
