Thanks for your response and interest. Look under the sir names list for mine, or direct link; http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/803 If you'd like something a little further advanced go to; http://vixra.org/abs/1102.0016 And please don't forget to give the essay a top score if you like it! I certainly think you should be a little higher even if it did only take an hour! The link above is to a paper that only took 2.25hrs! but admittedly from another being submitted for publication. But read the essay carefully and take in the logic as you go to find the holy grail!
You ask my view, which is that the analogue wave based continuum, or 'condensate' is what condensed matter, or discrete particles arise from, but they only arise with perturbation or to implement change. (at inertial filed boundaries, which are identified as plasma Halo's shocks, clouds and fine structure ions. All far more logical and reality based than recent physics.
Very best wishes.
