Thanks for being patient with my questions; I'm sure you've been over similar ground many times before.

In summary then, your ideas are:
a) isomorphic (thanks to James for this nice word) with all of chemistry; specifically, whatever 'textbook chemistry' predicts, your holon-based ideas would also predict
b) isomorphic with classical physics (Newtonian, pre-quantum mechanics)
c) consistent with SR, GR, and QED/QCD/etc.

If so, then there is no experiment that could be performed, in any of the above domains, whose results would serve to distinguish between your ideas and 'textbook chemistry' and 'textbook physics'.

The holons in red wine taste the same, and make you just as drunk, as the ethyl alcohol does (and do just as good a job of reducing the risk of heart disease).

The holons in a rich stew of quarks, whether in the early universe, a neutron star, or a collapsing supernova, are just as nutritious to a black hole as the mesons and baryons of which they formerly comprised.

I think you can see what my agenda is; but would you be so kind as to indulge me one step at a time?

Regards
