Theoretical analysis proposes a unitarian framework deriving matter and mass from electromagnetic field singularities, suggesting physical reality stems from a single unified field.
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).
