Chapter 4. The Matter Glitch:
An Alternative to the Standard Model

The previous chapters explained space, time, and light in network terms as follows:
1. Space. Space is a null process running on the network, so it is something that outputs nothing in our terms.
2. Time. Time is processing cycles completed, so if the network slows down, time can dilate as Einstein says.
3. Light. Light is the same process as space, but spread over many network points to give the entire electro-magnetic spectrum. It is passed on every cycle, so nothing goes faster than it.
Space then is null processing not nothing, time is cycles completed not a dimension, and light is space distributed and passed on by a network, but can this model explain matter? (Figure 4.1) If it can’t, the results so far are mere curiosities.
In the last chapter, the big bang exploded light not matter but how then did matter arise? This raises the question, what is matter?
