--- Frederick Sparber wrote a nice explanation for the glue-like binding force which could work between bound leptons:

Mills - this characterization (dimensionless point particle) is not inconsistent with the present mathematics and physics which we have observed for the past century among leptons. If this is true (leptons being dimensionless point particles), then one inescapable conclusion which I have never heard mentioned before now is this: leptons are not ever really IN our 3-space at all, at least not in whole. We may see a particular stable figment of "something" we call an electron from another dimension, but even the electron is never IN our 3-space totally. The electron may have characteristics which are stable in our world even though it doesn't exist here in its full reality. This leaves open the distinct possibility that there is only ONE variety of lepton (and one variety of its antiparticle), and the various distinct forms of leptons which we detect in our three space are all figments (fractals) or the same entity which only exists in its wholeness in 1-space. This is not necessarily inconsistent with a modern interpretation of Dirac. What are some further conclusions that follow from this observation (only one variety of lepton, along with its antiparticle)? Well, for starters, all of the other leptons, from tauon to neutrino are not different entities but different views of the same entity, and each should be related to each other through *power laws.* IOW the muon, for instance, should be related to the electron via a power law... Just off the top of one's head it might seem that (2*pi*.511 MeV)^4 will come pretty close to the observed mass of the muon? If so, then then that relationship would indicate that the muon could be located four spatial dimensions removed from the electron (or else two spatial and two time dimensions removed). The later would be the conclusion of viewing "time" as a volume, like "space". Or... yes the muon could be one spatial dimension and three time dimensions removed, which would go along with its short lifetime. And if there is a "missing" lepton, which is a different thing altogether than electronium (which is a bound letpon triad, not a new lepton). Electronium would be hypothetically stable in our three space, except... If there is a fourth massive letpon, previously undescribed, then the heretofore missing fractal in which that lepton "exists" may likely be only one spatial and one time dimension removed. It should be fairly common, but there is a reason why this missing lepton would not have been observed, and this reason relates to the electronium triad. The importance of this speculation, for LENR in particular, being that the missing lepton and/or electronium, would each be much longer lived than a muon, but being the missing lepton being only 6-20 times more massive than the hypothetical electronium, could be responsible for neither particle being very common - IOW it would tend to clear out electronium from our three space and vice-versa ? Just another random thought on a day when this observer hopes that a lot of *clearing-out* will occur in our 3-space, so to speak.... Jones
