That is, when and why does a simple tension field (STF) become a complex tension field (CTF)... and what are the nature of the complexities.

But instead of the word ether, I use a more descriptive phrase, Complex Tension Filed (CTF). This CTF always remains stationary as the inertial rest frame for the entire cosmic system. Only its various (the word “complex”) excited tension properties locally
oscillate or locally change the gradients in time. Since we cannot separately feel or detect CTF directly, the entire observable universe persistently appear to be an elusive system; but, in reality, the observable universe is not god’s magic or illusion!

<div class="yiv3312078618MsoNormal"> Thank you for your detailed replies to my questions about your electron model. I think that despite our significant differences in modeling the electron, we could agree on the following statement: "The electron is a spin 1/2 light-speed
configuration having the electron’s charge, rest mass and 720-degree symmetry, and generating the de Broglie wavelength.” Agree or not? (And Chip and Vivian would you agree with this or not?) </div>

<div>
<div class="yiv3312078618MsoNormal"> Your approach to modeling the electron with a light-speed configuration gives more detailed models of the photon and the electron, including approximate calculations of the electron’s magnetic moment and electric charge. My generic approach
to a circulating photon modeling a relativistic electron does not include a specific model of the photon that models a relativistic electron, but emphasizes 1) the charged photon's total circulating energy, momentum and wavelength, 2) the charged photon’s
helical trajectory and how it depends on the electron’s speed, and 3) gives a short derivation of the de Broglie wavelength and the quantum wave function for a free electron from the helically circulating charged photon’s wavelength. </div>

<div class="yiv3312078618MsoNormal"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv3312078618MsoNormal"> One point where we differ on terminology is whether the electron model's light-speed configuration should be called a spin 1/2 charged photon or a spin 1/2 light-speed configuration (or re-circulating configuration) with an associated
electric charge. I emphasize what is in common with the light-speed configurations for an electron and a photon: both configurations move at light-speed with a frequency f and a wavelength lambda related by c=f lambda, where E=hf and p=h/lambda. You emphasize
the differences in the two configurations (spin 1/2 configuration versus spin 1 configuration, curving motion versus straight motion, rest mass versus no rest mass, and charge versus no charge.) I hope I am not oversimplifying here. This is why I favor two
photon “varieties" having some similar and some different features.</div>

</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv3312078618MsoNormal"> I’ve gone through your two SPIE papers on the photon and the electron, passing lightly over the proposed new algebra. I noticed a significant typo (the same in both papers) where you state (on page 14 in the photon paper and page 8 in
the electron paper) that the photon’s rotation horizon = c w (where w is omega) where it should actually be rotation horizon = c/w .</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv3312078618MsoNormal"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv3312078618MsoNormal"> I have a related question about how you derive hbar for the photon’s z-component of spin in your photon paper on p 14, which you repeat in your electron paper on p 8. You use the photon's experimental momentum (hbar w)/c to derive a
maximum angular momentum of the photon hbar for your model, by multiplying the electron’s experimental momentum (hbar w)/c by the photon’s rotation horizon = c/w (when the typo is corrected ) to get spin hbar. But if the electron’s momentum is in the z
(longitudinal) direction, you cannot derive the z-component Sz of the photon’s spin from the photon’s z-component of momentum (hbar w)/c . You would need to have a circulating component of the photon’s momentum in the transverse or x-y plane to derive by
S = r x p a spin component Sz of the photon in the z direction. Or am I missing something? (In my model of the photon, described elsewhere, I do have such a momentum component in the transverse direction).</div>

<span style="color:blue;">Mu. The question makes no sense. As I keep saying, for me it makes no sense to ask about the electrons "trajectory".<span class="yiv3312078618apple-converted-space"> </span> One calculates momenta. It has a specific angular momentum. This is related
by a size and a (perpendicular) momentum (this is ok). Even by the (much simpler) uncertainty principle, one cannot say where the (precisely defined) momentum is at all. It is completely undefined. The electron is a function of seven components in the new
theory, none of which are space or time alone. You need to project the trajectory onto space, but even if you do this it will absolutely not represent what is really going on.</span> <span style="color:blue;">If you want to put space in as well you will have
ten. This cannot be simply modelled by a 3D path! Gamma is, for me, too simple. It pertains to the effect on a little lump of mass. You have to get gamma out. You should not be putting it in! The electron is not, and cannot be, modelled by a little lump of
mass whizzing about. The internal wave-function (Eq. 21 on p9 in the first paper) varies by the factor R explained in my first paper – which only gives gamma as an average – as described there.</span></span></div>

<span style="color:blue;">No. Definitely not. Firstly there is no such thing as i. Secondly, the above equation is anyway too simple. It is not relativistic. It is just a solution to the non-rel Scroedinger equation. That is as good as we have had for a century
or so, but we need to do better!<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
A proper (in the relativistic sense) wave-function should look just like "light in a box". Like eq. 21 then. If solutions such as that are confined, the co-moving and anti-moving components generate an equation with both a de-Broglie wave (from interference)
and a Compton wave. This is like wave (like light in a box) -with two different "velocities" those these are only apparent w.r.t. the observer frame. Within the system itself everything remains at light-speed. The changes are only apparent because of the relative
velocity of observer and observed – according to the normal laws of relativity.</span></span></div>

%A minimal theory is developed of the flow of root-energy with forms based on the experimental properties of four-dimensional space-time. In light, this encompasses the Maxwell equations, but allows only quantised solutions. For (rest-massive-) particles, it
reflects the same solution set as the Dirac equation, spin up and spin down electrons and positrons, but over such things as fields and currents rather than more abstract concepts such as spinors. In interactions it underpins quantum electrodynamics in that
it derives charge, sees the electromagnetic interaction as an exchange of energy between charged particles through light, but gives a more physical perspective on the origins of results such as the anomalous magnetic moment. \end{abstract}<br clear="none">

Firstly: nature (as measured in experiment) is primary. Theories are merely speculations one makes up to try to describe her underlying processes. Mathematics is a powerful, but formal and strictly limited, language which may be used to try to describe certain
aspects of whatever nature does in reality. Mere mathematics, however, must not be allowed to cloud any of the fundamental features of nature observed in experiment. Any (practically useful) mathematics should follow nature, not the other way round. If one
cannot measure it, it is, (for all practical purposes) not there. Any theories predicting things which are (observed to be) just not there should be modified or discarded. This is the proper process of the scientific method. It may be that the logical conclusion
of this process, the solution of Hilbert's sixth problem such that a complete mathematical system describing all of nature just and no more, is not possible at all. Though that remains to be seen, it is worth striving for.%It may, however, be possible to prove
at some point that such a system is not possible.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Having said this, the body of theory as it stands in the early twenty-first century, is a marvellous intellectual achievement garnered through generations of the thinking of many excellent folk. Human theory encapsulates a great deal of truth about the nature
of reality. Any new theories should either encompass, improve on, or underpin that thinking - or they are likely to fail. The creation of new theories may be a deeply creative process - but it is also strongly constrained.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Taking a particular position, then, is not an easy choice. Thinking is fluid. Theory is something one makes up. It is perfectly possible to consider many points of view - each with their merits and problems, all at the same time. It is still possible to the
see the merits and beauty of Martin van der Mark's and my quarter-century-old model of the electron as a localised photon, while no longer believing in the existence as independent entities of, not only the photon but also the electron. This is not to say,
of course, that I was wrong then and am right now - who knows?<span class="yiv3312078618apple-converted-space"> </span><br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
My current favoured position is that there is only space, time and a sort of root-energy. These five degrees of freedom, for me, are sufficient to describe most, if not all, of that which has been so far observed in human experiment. In particular they are
sufficient to derive models of the photon, electron and other particles. It proves possible to derive why and how light is quantised, what the underlying nature of the elementary charge and the quantum spin is and what the underlying nature of some of the
fundamental forces of nature are. They are also, in my view, sufficient to either encompass, underpin or improve the existing practical theories of current physics. The development of a new, continuous linear theory to describe this has been the subject of
the papers presented last year at FFP14 and submitted this year to this conference. If this approach should prove of any merit, it will remain the work of many man-years to develop the solutions to the level of those of Schroedinger, Maxwell or Dirac theories.
Even if the new theory is worth anything, there remains much work to be done.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The new theoretical view holds that space and time are primary. They exist everywhere (and for all time!), whether or not any energy is present within them or not. The root four dimensions of space and time may also manifest in products and quotients of the
base four ``directions". This allows root-energy to manifest not only in vectors, but also such things as physical areas - as the product of space with perpendicular space. Multiplying any space (or time) with a parallel space gives a conceptually different
kind of object to an area. The sequence area-line-point would identify this with a ``point". This object, however, is not a point in the way the word is usually understood. Just as a line may be extended to one of any length (magnitude), this kind of point
may also have any magnitude. If one attributes the experimentally measured (relativistic) properties of space and time to lines in space and time, then the lines must vary as a four-vector, the plane product as a field, and the point product as a Lorentz
invariant. Introducing root-energy into these forms then gives stuff with the physical properties of a 4-current density, an electromagnetic field and a a rest-mass, respectively. Further, the volume forms act as a root angular momentum - a spin. It is simple
to show that the equations describing this for the field are identical to the four, coupled differential equations known as the Maxwell equations. A new, general, equation over the sixteen terms (1 scalar, 4-vector, 6-field, 4-spin, 1 pseudo-scalar) is then:<br clear="none">

Here the basis vectors, denoted by the $\alpha$'s have one numerical index for the vectors, two for the planes, three for the volumes and four for the 4-volume. $\mathcal{D}_4$ is a 4-vector differential. $E$ and $B$ denote the electric and magnetic fields,
and $A$ and $T$ the vector and tri-vector potential respectively. $P$ and $Q$ are rest-mass like components invariant under a Lorentz transformation. The special root-energy density scalar is denoted $\alpha_P$. For the field only part, the first four equations
without the $P$ and $Q$ terms, this reduces to Maxwell's equations. The new approach, however, allows new kinds of holomorphic, covariant solutions to the pure field (light-speed) Maxwell equations describing a covariant wave. Viz, for a single photon travelling
in the ``$z$" direction:<span class="yiv3312078618apple-converted-space"> </span><br clear="none">

Except for $U_F$, which is a new universal constant converting to field units and related to $\hbar$, the pre-factor terms are normalisation terms in phase ($H_0$) and energy ( R and $\mathcal{E}$). The crucial features of this new wave function are that the
photon energy ($\mathcal{E}$), appears in both pre-factor and exponent, that the argument of the exponential is not a simple number but contains explicitly the proper nature of space and time in the form of $\alpha_{3}$ a proper unit vector in the direction
of $z$ and $\alpha_{0}$, a proper unit vector in the direction of time and that a proper unit angular momentum ($\alpha_{012}$) is required for this to be a travelling wave solution. Lorentz transformations are described in the wave-function by the single
parameter $R$ - scaling both field and frequency linearly. This allows the same photon to be described in different frames - particularly those of the emitter and absorber. The function describes photons of any energy from gamma to radio and beyond - right
to the limit of as close as you like to zero energy. %It is, to the knowledge of the author, the first proper, covariant photon wave-function.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Extending the theory to include some of the new terms, especially the root invariant rest-mass term $P$, allows qualitatively new kinds of solutions. These contain, as well as the rest-mass component, re-circulating field components. Such solutions are necessarily
charged, have half-integral spin and have the proper 720 degree symmetry of fermions. These solutions are identified with the electron and positron. The new theory then describes both light-speed field only solutions corresponding to the photon and re-circulating
solutions corresponding to the electron on the same footing. It allows, for the first time, the description of the process of particle-antiparticle pair creation within a single linear theory.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Within the theory, the elementary charge $q$ may be estimated in terms of the elementary spin $\hbar$ (or vice-versa) and is found to be close to the value observed in experiment. The new solutions describe both both light and material particles and arise from
the constraints imposed by the deeper principles of the nature of space and time and the linearity of field and energy. Quantisation arises from the rigorous development of relativity.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
In the new theory space and time - the defining components of the physical vacuum, are primary and are always present. Space and time condition any root-energy into different forms, manifesting as mass (scalar), charge and current (vector), fields (areas),
spin (volumes) and a spin root (a 4-dimensional volume).The theory allows, however, for the possibility that the root-energy at certain places may go to zero - an empty vacuum. For all practical purposes, of course, ``free" space is always full of the photons
that paint our world - even if they are only those of the 3K background radiation. The answer then, for me, to the question posed in the title is ``all three". With ``something else", here being the proper nature of space and time - the underlying form of
the ``vacuum" present at all localities.<br clear="none">
