Rethinking matter as relationship rather than stuff

Original: What if matter isn't "stuff" but relationship? The Physical Domain is where the Conference of Difference begins—the bare

A philosophical take on quantum physics argues that matter should be understood not as isolated 'stuff' but as a web of relationships. It proposes that an electron has no definite mass, charge or position in isolation, describing physical reality as a 'conference' of quantum fields where differences come together into existence. The framing blends field theory with process philosophy, inviting discussion on whether properties of particles are relational rather than intrinsic.

Why now: It reframes quantum field theory in accessible philosophical language, sparking debate about the nature of matter.
