The vacuum is considered a String-net liquid and the electron and photon are emergent properties that derive from the vacuum. "Their model purports to show the derivation of photons, electrons, and U(1) gauge charge, small (relative to the planck mass <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_mass>) but nonzero masses, and suggestions that the leptons <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptons>, quarks <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarks>, and gluons <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluons>, can be modeled in the same way. In other words, string-net condensation provides an unification of photon <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon> and electron <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron> (or gauge bosons <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_bosons> and fermions <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermions>). It can be viewed as an origin of light <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light> and electron <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron> (or gauge interactions <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_bosons> and Fermi statistics <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_statistics>).
