Cross-abstracted from a post at: mindX

In common regurgitations (what a great opening phrase!) of the standard model of particle physics, there is often no description of any actual causality at all, despite the colorful physical-sounding verbiage, like "patina" and analogs with mountain ranges, rubber-trampolines, glue, color, charm and  whatnot.

For instance, try to describe to us the causality of how a "gluon" actually "glues" the particles of a nucleus together.  How does the gluon transmit the "glue" and what causation or structure gives the "glue" its properties? Does a gluon merely possess the "essence" of glue?

I wondered where those long lost ancient essences ran off to! Modern theory has a "patina" of physicalism, with loose and poetic physical analogies for its accounting categories, but it is really a hyper-complex essentialism at its core; with the disembodied essences of glue, color, strangeness, and charm just wandering around magically infecting their assigned particles with their abstract "particle-mediated" nature.

This is an empty accounting system, not a causal model of fundamental physical reality, as is Sorce Theory. The difference is VAST and impossible to see without learning and embodying BOTH models in order to compare them simultaneously. Once you go causal, you can't ever go back ... unless the sheep clawing at your heels gets to be too much.

Interesting use of the boiling metaphor, and the fluidity of the "ultimate substrate," but I think his idea that the energy of a force is due strictly to it's scale is highly oversimplistic and abstract...and incorrect. The reason that the nuclear force is stronger than gravitation, or electricity, is a function of organization, not merely scale. Scale in this case is incidental to our persepctive on this organization. The level of atomic formation (sub-atomic level) is simply the closest "basement level" (as it is called in Sorce Theory/SpinbitZ) where continuity is at its superfluidic maximum and has the properties necessary (e.g. ~zero viscosity, ~zero friction and high compressibility (fermi pressure)) to form the highly compressed, highly stabilized, primary types of matter-units, e.g. the proton or basic atomic nucleus. According to SpinbitZ, which incorporates the empirical scaling relations of the Self-Similar Cosmological Model [Rob Oldershaw], the same type of units occur at the Planck level as well. While there are far more units per unit area, however, there is far less energy per self-similar type of Planck-unit. Furthermore, these harmonically self-equilibrating units, being ~10^20 times smaller than the proton, are far more difficult to disrupt in their internal patterning so as to release their energy. It merely ends up statistically emerging onto the properties of the atoms which are made out of them, such as mass, etc.
