Foundations of the new field theory
Open accessAbstract
The relation of matter and the electromagnetic field can be interpreted from two opposite standpoints:— The first which may be called the unitarian standpoint assumes only one physical entity, the electromagnetic field. The particles of matter are considered as singularities of the field and mass is a derived notion to be expressed by field energy (electromagnetic mass).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
