Particle Identifications from Symmetries of Braided Ribbon Network Invariants
arXiv:0804.0037
Abstract
We develop the idea that the particles of the standard model may arise from excitations of quantum geometry. A previously proposed topological model of preons is developed so that it incorporates an unbounded number of generations. A condition is also found on quantum gravity dynamics necessary for the interactions of the standard model to emerge.
