Electrons constantly move because they are only one-dimensional matter, so photons in their other two dimensions cause movement. The hybrid is held together by quantum entanglement, a phenomenon that unifies entities that restart at the same point. However when quarks fill all the channels of a plane, and combine into protons and neutrons at an angle, the distribution is symmetric, so most matter doesn’t inherently move in any direction.
Quarks occupy a point, but still have free channels for photons to occupy as higher generations show, so they can acquire extra photons to move as electrons do. Hence, light hitting a solar sail makes it move, even though photons have no mass. The sail matter absorbs the photons hitting it which bias its distribution in their direction, so it moves.
Matter then moves by acquiring photons that bias its distribution one way. It already trembles in all directions with a probability based on the field density, so photons that increase that density one way make it move that way. Matter moves when the quantum field around it changes, not because particles push it.
That matter moves by adding photons also explains why mass increases as objects go faster. More photons mean more competition for channels, and more interference increases the processing that in this model is mass. The increase isn’t linear because interference doesn’t increase linearly with load, as networks like the Internet show. As relativity says, the mass increase tends to infinity as movement approaches the speed of light.
Note that when matter acquires photons that bias its distribution, they stay with it, so it carries on moving that way. We call the tendency of matter to carry on moving inertia, and assume it is a property of some substance, but here it is actually a property of the quantum field.
In the next section, gravity is how the distribution of large bodies like the sun affects the matter around them, even at great distances, with no particles needed at all.
