What is the Real Structure of Fundamental Forces?

TL;DR

This paper proposes a finite, parameter-free fundamental theory of elementary forces, describing all observed bound states as systems of quantons bound by electric or magnetic forces, challenging the Standard Model.

Contribution

It introduces a new finite theory extending QED with boson-boson coupling, eliminating the need for arbitrary parameters and providing a unified description of fundamental forces and bound states.

Findings

Standard Model requires many arbitrary parameters.

The proposed theory is finite and parameter-free.

Bound states are described as quanton systems bound by electric or magnetic forces.

Abstract

Based on general considerations, the Standard Model of particle physics with its extensions (SM) can be ruled out as a valid theory of fundamental forces: it requires far too many parameters, which are not determined from first principles. The only way to uncover the real structure of elementary forces is to resort to a complete and fundamental theory without external parameters. This requirement is fulfilled in a finite theory, based on an extension of the QED Lagrangian by boson-boson coupling, with massless elementary fields, charged and neutral elementary fermions (quantons) and gauge bosons. In this description the observed bound states of nature, hadrons, leptons, atoms and gravitational objects are understood as stationary systems of quantons bound by electric or magnetic forces. Other fields do not exist.
