Physicists spend thousands of hours and millions of dollars each year slaving over hot particle accelerators in their efforts to understand the basic nature of matter. Since the time of Democritus of Abdera (460-370 BC) it has been postulated that the Universe is comprised of elemental components or particles which - though they may be profoundly small in nature - are not infinitely divisible. Before the smallest non-empty set can be assembled, there must exist an individual element with which the set may be populated, a singular existence not composed of independent parts, a physical manifestation which consists only of itself, an elemental identity which I call an
'entity'.
The material objects with which we interact in our daily environment are composites. A chair, for example, is the label we use to conveniently describe a set of parts including a seat, legs, back and arms. If its construction is of wood, then those parts are made of sets labeled
‘cells’ which are comprised of sets called
‘molecules’ which are formed by sets of
‘atoms’, whose components have been theoretically superseded as elemental particles by quark and lepton groups populated by sub-sets of even smaller particles and anti-particles. The prevailing assumption of the
Standard Model of Particle Physics is that fundamental particles must be structureless, the essence of simplicity. And as quantum
'mechanics' experiment with the microcosm, they tend to interpret their results accordingly.
But what is today commonly believed about fundamental particles is actually more conjecture than theory. Physicists grudgingly confess that many of their theoretical components are presumed to exist solely because they make the equations work. And if the basic assumptions are flawed, then their hypothetical particles may just be spurious phantoms of esoteric formulae and the
Standard Model they describe may be little more than a sophisticated misinterpretation of empirical data. This may be the reason why the more widely accepted theories produce such contrived and convoluted models as "String Theory" and "M Theory" - abstract paradigms that depend upon exotic elements and imperceptible extra dimensions that rival the fertile fantasies of Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne.
If the fundamental elements of the Universe were structureless and homogeneous, they would also be indifferentiable, inert, incapable of change, and the cosmos would be a static and timeless environment. On the other hand, if elemental particles do, indeed, have sub-structure, then how could they possibly be things comprised only of themselves?
The explanation is really rather elementary. It is found within the architecture of existence.
The realm of cause and effect is universally governed by a simple basic principle called the
'Balance of Nature'. This obvious but often ignored element of equilibrium courses throughout the very fabric of the cosmos. For every left there exists a right. For every to there is a fro. For every up there is a down. For every measure of distance point 'A' is separated from point 'B', point 'B' is an equal and opposite distance from point 'A'. For every conceivable vector or numeric value there exists an opposite equivalent. Newton captured the essence of natural balance when he codified the law of physics which states every action precipitates a reciprocal event - an equal and opposite reaction. And it's not by mere coincidence that mathematics - the language of science - encodes logic into a device called an equation which requires its elements to be equivalent on opposite sides of the argument. From simple addition to quantum mechanics, reciprocal balance is a prevailing dynamic which even the rules of cause and effect must obey. It is the very cornerstone of logic, the most fundamental of all natural laws.
The way things act and react reflects their nature, the inherent properties of their being. If the realm of cause and effect is universally governed by natural balance, then the source of that equilibrium must reside within the very architecture of existence - within the composition of the qualities, themselves. Reality is usually measured and described within the parameters of three basic criteria - quality, quantity and dimension (relative position and configuration). Quantitatively there is a negative equivalent for every positive value. Dimensionally there is an opposite for every vector. If reciprocal balance invisibly applies to qualitative values as it apparently does to the other intrinsic properties of existence, then for every qualitative value there should exist an opposite equivalent. And, indeed, contemporary physics does view the material world as particles of matter and anti-matter. Each type of particle has an opposite and when the two collide, their mass is converted into energy. But there seems to be a whole lot more matter than anti-matter floating around the cosmos and, in fact, particles and anti-particles aren't truly counter-valent beings, they are simply elements which react to each other by changing condition. If they were truly opposite existences they would
'annihilate' on contact. Their properties would totally disappear. They would cease to exist.
Just as you would expect every action to be offset by an equal and opposite reaction within the realm of an event, we would expect qualitative balance to reside within the physical boundary of an entity - not be disbursed between two or more separate existences as independent particles and anti-particles. We wouldn't normally be able to tell a quality from its anti-quality by just looking at it, but with the use of a little color coding I will try to illustrate the concept of reciprocal qualitative values
:
Assume
BLACK represents a null color value. Within the realm of subtractive colors, the opposite (negative) of the color quality
MAGENTA is
GREEN. Equivalent proportions of
MAGENTA and
GREEN produce
BLACK. But
GREEN is, itself, an equal mixture of the colors
CYAN and
YELLOW.
Just as the
quantitative value of Ø is equivalent to two opposing numbers (+1) + (-1), the
qualitative value of
BLACK is equivalent to three opposing colors
MAGENTA +
CYAN +
YELLOW. All of the opposing sub-elements must be present in precisely equal proportion in order to reciprocally balance each other and maintain a null value. Of course the number of opposing sub-elements within a fundamental particle may not be limited in scope to two - or three - or any other finite number.
The concept of reciprocal balance requires every instance of being within an entity to have an opposite equivalent - but instead of each point having a diametric opposite (two defined points offsetting each other), the opposing value of any given point in an element may be distributed among the sub-qualities of the entire set of remaining points. The very existence of each point within the element is co-dependent upon the existence of the remainder of the parcel. Every moment of physical presence in the element is an interdependent contributor to the perfection of its balance. And it is that natural balance - not structureless homogeneity - which defines it as a single existence, a unique instance of null value - something which is not whole unless all of it is encompassed,
an element comprised only of itself.
Fundamental particles must be truly 'in-dividual'. They are not comprised of independent components, so no portion of an elemental entity could ever be separated from the remainder. When a composite is severed, as in slicing a loaf of bread or tearing a piece of paper, electromagnetic forces holding independent particles in proximity to each other are overcome by the force of the device used to separate the material. But the field of existence within an entity is continuous. To cleave a fundamental particle, something must be inserted between two of its continuous points. Two independent existences cannot occupy the same space, so the point you are attempting to cleave would simply move. To sever an entity at a point within its domain would require the point of separation to physically cease to exist, and if cause and effect is a function of existence, then
before the most infinitesimal point of being could be annihilated, it would lose its ability to change or be changed.
There is a basic law of physics which states two things cannot simultaneously occupy the same space. But two points of existence within a fundamental particle are not
'two things', they are mutually co-dependent instances of the same element - two parts of the same identity. The rules of conduct within an entity may be very different from those which govern the interaction between two entities. Internally, an entity's sub-qualities have the ability to morph or blend like the illustration above to produce a vast range of different conditions or states of being.
I have little quarrel with the data and observations of the disciples of contemporary particle physics, but I do differ with their interpretation. Like blind men describing an elephant, each observer experimenting with the microcosm is led to believe his perspective is definitive. An unwary observer might not realize he is examining different facets within an entity. If the illustration above is accurate, every entity has a nucleus from which it
'projects' itself into the spatial dimensions. The nucleus is a true point - just a location with no relative size. If the nucleus were to change in condition - say, rotate 90 degrees - no distance would be traversed (it has NO size), only the angle of projection would change. Instantaneous movement and morphing of internal conditions may produce some of those weird and seemingly impossible effects which puzzle contemporary particle physicists. Mass is simply a condition - a property interchangeable with energy, according to Einstein. With the ability to change instantly, a portion of an entity's substructure which has the property of 'mass' may suddenly disappear and simultaneously reappear elsewhere without any motion taking place. This would give rise to the illusion that the 'mass' has no real location and can only be given a probability of existing at any given coordinate. The phenomenon of morphing could also give the illusion that some sub-structural facet can be in two different states or locations simultaneously - i.e. 30% in one location and 70% in another. Such phenomena have been observed in the microcosm and some particle physicists attribute them to the existence of extra dimensions. They consider the sub-structure they are observing to be an independent particle - not part of a larger entity. I would suspect many of the
'individual' particles touted in the standard model are probably just different facets of the same parcel. Keep in mind that there is much more to the composition of the Universe than just its conveniently measured and easily observed material attributes.
Mass is simply one of a spectrum of properties inherent to an elemental particle. A single particle may contain both features which are material and features which are ethereal in nature. Unfortunately contemporary science is not sufficiently advanced to detect subtle differences in ethereal properties - everything without the property of mass is considered generic
'space'.
It is natural balance which defines an entity - not homogeneity. Unlike those facile examples of structureless simplicity touted by the
Standard Model of Particle Physics, reciprocal symmetry suggests a limitless spectrum of dynamic elements both material and ethereal in nature, a wondrous cosmic fabric of infinite variety.
Theory of Reciprocity
For every value V( + ) there exists an equal and opposite value or set of values V( - ) such that the sum of all value in the Universe is equivalent to the 'null' set
The phenomenon of existence is explained by a principle - not a process. That necessary but indefinite primordial element we call "nothing" is simply an abstract interpretation of the symmetrical balance that pervades the structure of the Universe. The existence of nothing requires no justification - it is essentially natural and intrinsically logical. Nothing is, in fact, the common essence of every element in the cosmic spectrum and it is the fulcrum of an eternally balanced perpetual system.
